Biden Praises 'Civility' of Two Arch Segregationists
Haris Alic
Former Vice President Joe Biden praised two arch segregationists that he served with in the Senate Democrat Conference for their "civility" on Tuesday.
Biden, the current 2020 Democrat front runner, told a group of donors gathered for a fundraiser at the Carlyle Hotel in New York City it was vital the next president "be able to reach consensus under our system." To explain why he was the best candidate in that regard, Biden fondly cited his history of working with two of the Senate's arch segregationists, the late-Sens. James Eastland (D-MS) and Herman Talmadge (D-GA).
"I was in a caucus with James O. Eastland," Biden said with an attempted Southern drawl. "He never called me boy, he always called me son."
"Well guess what?" the former vice president continued. "At least there was some civility. We got things done. We didn't agree on much of anything. We got things done. We got it finished. But today you look at the other side and you're the enemy. Not the opposition, the enemy. We don't talk to each other anymore."

Eastland, who served as senator from 1943 to 1978, was known as the "voice of the white South" for his stringent opposition to civil rights and integration. As chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Eastland attempted to derail both the 1964 Civil Rights Act and Thurgood Marshall's appointment to the Supreme Court.
In his first Senate campaign, The New York Times wrote in Eastland's obituary, "he often appeared in Mississippi courthouse squares, promising the crowds that if elected he would stop blacks and whites from eating together in Washington. He often spoke of blacks as 'an inferior race.'"
Biden, who joined the Senate in 1972, missed most of those battles. He did, however, arrive just as busing to achieve school desegregation was coming to the forefront. Despite opposition from more liberal elements in the Democrat Party, especially the late-Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA), Biden ended up leading the charge on the issue. Eastland, as chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, was a prominent ally in the fight against busing, according to the Delaware News Journal.
During his remarks on Tuesday, Biden also invoked his relationship with Talmadge, another ally in the anti-busing campaign. Talmadge, who served as governor of Georgia before being elected to the Senate in 1957, was another fierce opponent of civil rights and integration. In the wake of the Brown v. Board of Education decision, which struck down segregation in public schools, then-Gov. Talmadge promised to do everything in his power to protect "separation of the races."
At his NYC fundraiser tonight, Joe Biden said that Georgia Sen. Herman Talmadge was "one of the meanest guys I ever knew." But, he added, "At least there was some civility. We got things done."
This was Herman Talmadge, then governor of Georgia, in the mid-1950s. pic.twitter.com/524aMeS8DV
— Osita Nwanevu (@OsitaNwanevu) June 19, 2019
After Biden's remarks about Talmadge and Eastland came to light, a former staffer for ex-Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) urged reporters to consider why Biden believes he'd be better at forming "consensus" than former President Barack Obama.
Reporters should ask Biden why he thinks he'll succeed in cutting deals with Republicans where Obama failed, because it sure seems like he's flat out saying it's because he's white. https://t.co/nWQKRdWnJt
— Adam Jentleson (@AJentleson) June 19, 2019
Biden appears to be so cynical that he thinks Republicans will cut deals with him because he's white, but so naive that he doesn't realize they'll obstruct him anyway. It's a dangerous combination.
Other Democrats expressed equal concern about Biden's comments.
"Politicians should never speak positively of segregationists. Period," Sherrod Brown adds https://t.co/PFgipwIiiQ
— Igor Bobic (@igorbobic) June 19, 2019
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, a fellow presidential candidate, was especially critical.
It's 2019 & @JoeBiden is longing for the good old days of "civility" typified by James Eastland. Eastland thought my multiracial family should be illegal & that whites were entitled to "the pursuit of dead n*ggers." (1/2) pic.twitter.com/yoOOkpaTX2
— Bill de Blasio (@BilldeBlasio) June 19, 2019
As he seeks the Democrat nomination, Biden's long history with race has increasingly come under fire from the left. The New York Times recently reported that Biden was forced to abandon his initial bid for president in 1988 amid a slew of scandals including revelations he falsely claimed to have marched in the Civil Rights Movement. During that failed campaign Biden also praised the late-Sen. Strom Thurmond (R-SC), another prominent segregationist, as one of his "closest friends," according to the Washington Examiner.
Breitbart News reported this month that Biden made a series of racially insensitive statements, including lecturing on what "was good for the Negro," in the early 1970s. One of those remarks came at the funeral of his first wife, Neilia Biden.
"I was probably one of those phony liberals… the kind that go out of their way to be nice to a minority and she made me realize I was making a distinction," Biden said in December 1972. "But in dealing with minorities, she made no subtle condescending gestures… she made no distinctions."

Lisbon Press Conference
Michael O'Leary, CEO of Ryanair since 1994, said in a press conference in Lisbon that the airline is reviewing the situation daily. However, the UK government and Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) advise against all travel to Ukraine.
"Is it our duty and obligation… to support the people of Ukraine as long as there is no war or missiles flying there" O'Leary added, "People need to get home and people want to leave and fly abroad to the EU … airlines have to provide that service."
Ryanair's Future in Ukraine
Last month, Ryanair announced that if tensions between Russia and Ukraine reduce, it could base up to 20 aircraft in Ukraine in the coming years. Starting this summer, Ryanair also hopes to fly 230 flights per week from three airports in Ukraine.
WizzAir is also continuing to fly to Ukraine. However, KLM, FlyDubai and Vueling have suspended all flights to Ukraine until further notice.
Ukraine's Pledge
Ukraine has promised to keep its commercial airspace open, and Prime Minister Denys Shmygal also revealed that the government has pledged 16.6 billion Hryvnia (equivalent to £438 million) towards efforts of continuing to allow flights through its airspace and guarantees for insurance companies. Shmygal added, "This decision will stabilise the situation on the market of passenger air transportation and will guarantee the return to Ukraine of our citizens who are currently abroad."
Do you think Ryanair has made the right decision in continuing flights? Let us know in the comments below.

Flood, rain losses over Rs 6,300 crore, Andhra Pradesh seeks Centre's help – india news
By Awaz Tak News
The heavy rain and flash floods that wreaked havoc in several parts of Andhra Pradesh in the second week of October caused an extensive damage to the extent of Rs 6,368 crore, besides claiming around 50 lives, the state government officials said on Monday.
A report to this effect was submitted by state chief secretary Neelam Sawhney to the seven-member Central team, led by Saurav Ray, joint secretary in the Union ministry of home affairs, which came to Andhra Pradesh on a two-day visit to assess the extent of damage caused due to rain and floods.
Officials of various departments gave a detailed presentation to the visitor.
The chief secretary requested that the Centre release an amount of Rs 5,279.11 crore towards flood relief and restoration of damaged infrastructure, including Rs 840.07 crore for temporary restoration as per NDRF norms and Rs 4,439.14 crore towards permanent relief measures.
Sawhney requested that the Centre release the flood relief on war footing in the wake of the precarious financial position of the state due to Covid-19 pandemic.
She said the state had received a cumulative rainfall of 444.5 mm as against the normal 351.2 mm during the period, which was 26.6 per cent in excess. "Out of 670 mandals (revenue blocks) in the state, 387 mandals in 12 districts had been affected due to incessant rains and floods in Godavari and Krishna rivers," she pointed out.
She said in all, 45 people were killed in rain-related incidents like wall collapse, drowning and landslides. Five more were reported missing and they could not be traced, despite the best possible search and rescue efforts by NDRF and SDRF.
In all, 8,784 houses were fully damaged in the affected districts while a large number of cattle was also killed.
The chief secretary explained that agriculture crops like paddy, maize, cotton, black gram, pulses and sugarcane, suffered damage to an extent of 2,12,588 hectares. Paddy alone suffered the worst damage in 1,40,485 hectares, while cotton crop was damaged in 25,068 hectares.
Horticulture crops, including vegetables, banana, papaya and turmeric, worth Rs 483 crore were also damaged. About 2657 fish and prawn farming ponds to an extent of 5,819.7 hectares were damaged in West Godavari, Krishna, East Godavari, Guntur and Visakhapatnam districts.
There was extensive damage to road networks, rural water supply schemes, irrigation tanks and drainage systems in urban local bodies.
The Central team later split into three different groups and visited Anantapuramu, Krishna and Guntur districts for an on-the-spot inspection of the damage suffered. The teams will visit East and West Godavari districts on Tuesday.

In this Sept. 30, 2018, file photo, Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (23) grabs a rebound over Denver Nuggets forward Paul Millsap (4) during the first half of an NBA preseason basketball game in San Diego. The NBA's 73rd season starts Tuesday night, beginning a year where LeBron James will play for the Los Angeles Lakers.
LOS ANGELES — There was no way the Los Angeles Lakers weren't going to start this season off slowly. There was significant roster turnover this summer, most notably including the arrival of LeBron James; complicated decisions to make about playing time; and a tough schedule to open the year. This was a team that would need time to sort itself out.
Then came the brouhaha last weekend in the team's home opener against the Houston Rockets, which resulted in the suspensions of starters Brandon Ingram and Rajon Rondo and left the Lakers exposed to what figured to be further delays in the team-building process.
But over the three games both Ingram and Rondo were sidelined, the Lakers (2-3) looked like a different team. They took the San Antonio Spurs to overtime Monday at Staples Center — a game that both teams alternated giving away, before the Spurs eventually won. Then they blew out the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday, and made a late comeback to hand the Denver Nuggets their first loss the following night.
The Lakers did so in large part because of the contributions of Lonzo Ball and Kyle Kuzma — the players who replaced Rondo and Ingram in the Lakers' starting lineup during the suspensions. Though Rondo was set to return Saturday night against the Spurs in San Antonio, and Ingram is due back Monday against the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Lakers should consider keeping the same group together moving forward.
For all of the fanfare surrounding the Lakers entering this season, their best lineup may be three players — Ball, Kuzma and Josh Hart — who were rookies last season, along with vagabond center JaVale McGee and, of course, James.
The flaws within this Laker team are well-chronicled. McGee is the only legitimate NBA big man on the roster, which has led to Johnathan Williams, a rookie combo forward from Gonzaga on a two-way contract, turning into the team's second-best big. There isn't much of a defensive presence outside of Hart. There are only a couple of credible threats from behind the 3-point arc.
Hart has outplayed Kentavious Caldwell-Pope since the start of training camp, and his place in the starting five seems secure. And, since the suspensions, adding Ball and Kuzma to the starting lineup has begun to erase some of the Lakers' issues.
Walton deflected when asked after Thursday's game if Ball would remain the starter upon Rondo's return, saying he would need to look at the tape and speak to his coaching staff first. But there is ample evidence that Ball should stick in the starting lineup — both for his present-day value and for his potential, as opposed to the veteran Rondo, who is operating on a one-year deal.
Over the three games Rondo was suspended, here's Ball's stat line: 12.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 2.7 steals per game, all while shooting 53.6 percent from the field and 40 percent from 3-point range. Ball's decision to start pressing Jamal Murray full court Thursday against the Nuggets, which led to a steal and an easy layup, was credited by Coach Luke Walton as the catalyst of the Lakers' second-half turnaround.
For all of the focus on his father, and for all of the complaints about the ugliness of his shooting form, Ball is an upgrade over Rondo in both of the Lakers' weakest areas — defense and shooting. His combination of physical and cerebral gifts made him the No. 2 overall pick last season and allowed him to contribute as a rookie — despite his rough shooting numbers.
"(Ball is) a big-time game-changer for us when he's playing aggressive," Walton said.
The Kuzma-Ingram debate is far more complicated. Talk to anyone around the Lakers, and they will tell you their hopes for becoming a force in the West sooner rather than later center on Ingram, and if he can reach his ceiling. But how high is that ceiling?
Ingram is long, lean and lanky, but still has flaws in his game early in his third season. He came into the season hoping to make significant strides as a 3-point shooter, but made just one of his first 12 shot from beyond the arc this season (which, OK, includes five preseason games). He was benched in the fourth quarter of the Lakers' season-opening loss in Portland, then was ejected in the fourth quarter of the Houston game.
Kuzma, meanwhile, has averaged 25 points in the three games since Ingram was suspended. He and Ball have given the Lakers deep threats.
But Kuzma also brings an offensive dynamism overall that Ingram simply hasn't shown. Kuzma is never going to be the best passer — but if you're playing next to James and Ball, you don't have to be. Instead, he needs to catch passes from those two and make plays once he does. Both as a rookie and this year, Kuzma has shown every willingness to do just that.
The Lakers, however, simply have too much invested in Ingram to put him in a reserve role after six games. He has been anointed as the future second star next to James — or, at least, until a second one comes in free agency next summer, assuming the Lakers can convince someone to do so. Given how much Rondo has been touted as a leader, he may reclaim his starting role beginning Saturday night, too.
But the way the Lakers played without both of them should give Walton pause, as well as a willingness to reconsider.

Boy's vision impaired by obscure diet of meat, potatoes and Cheerios
Newshub reporter
Photo credit: Getty
An 11-year-old boy has suffered serious damage to his vision, due to a highly restricted diet of meat, potatoes, apple, cucumber and Cheerios cereal.
The Canadian boy suffers eczema and multiple food allergies, leading him to adopt the obscure diet, until he began struggling to see.
Doctors were confused when they couldn't connect the vision loss to pain, headache, fever or trauma, according to the JAMA Pediatrics journal.
The boy's parents took him to hospital after eight months of his vision progressively worsening.
The strange diet was extremely low in Vitamin A. A blood sample confirmed that the boy had a severe deficiency, which was a leading cause of blindness.
The vitamin helps cells in the eyes to function properly.
After being given 'mega doses' of the vitamin the boy's vision began to improve, although it might never return to its former quality.
His parents are now making sure that he gets enough vitamin A each day by including carrots, kumara, leafy greens and fish in his diet.

The problem with perfume is you put it on at your house, go out, but hours later the scent wears off. It's just not practical to take a large bottle of perfume or cologne with you when you're out. That's where Maxum Perfume Sticks come in. These Perfume Sticks are small, handy, discreet, fit in any trouser pocket and handbag, making them ideal for on the go. These are not "Drugstore Scents" either, these are high quality fragrances with notes similar to the most popular classic and modern perfumes.
The goal of this Kickstarter campaign is probably one of the highest I've wrote about on CashSherpa. The goal is $122,633 and it has a long way to go, they need your support today! What makes these sticks great is they not only are small, smell great, leak proof, but they also can be branded. Lets say there's a fashion convention and you need to put some swag in the party bags. Scent Stick can brand their products with your company logo.
Yes, the rewards are plentiful on this Kickstater. €9 gets you 1 perfume stick for women or men (You choose). €12 gets you one Maxum Perfume Stick. €24 gets you one man and one woman stick. The rewards go all the way up to €3,750 and that gives you 500 pieces with company branding. These are all early bird prices and they may change. I'm listing Euros as they do on Kickstarter web site, but of course this is open worldwide, USD posted as well.
The company needs the money for new mold shapes, new filling machines, new materials, product testing, new employees, and for company security. As you can see it took a lot of trial and error, it's been an uphill battle, but finally the solution to the wife's problem is taking shape. Help make Maxum Perfume Sticks a reality support their Kickstater today. This is a product I'd actually really like to try.


Managing your money can't be tough, even at the best of times! Financial worries can be a major cause of stress and have a negative affect on your overall health.
Depending on the nature of your financial problems, you could improve them with simple tricks such as creating a household budget and sticking to it, or by looking at saving a small amount each month to go towards an 'emergency fund' to help you cope with what life throws at you. Try using the Piggybank Technique to save for different things in different accounts so you always know how much money you have for each goal, such as a holiday, new car or wedding.
If your money worries are bigger and you are trying to juggle debts with high interest lenders such as credit cards, or payday lenders, you should perhaps look at a debt consolidation loan to help structure your payments and improve your cash flow. Even if you have a bad credit rating, you can get help – talk to East Sussex Credit Union about a loan and see if they can help you, as they look at your ability to pay, not just your credit history.
If you think your financial situation is impacting on your health, act now and get help.

Family of Kevin Ward seeks to depose Tony Stewart, his former crew chief for lawsuit
By Dustin LongFeb 25, 2016, 9:25 PM EST
Documents filed in federal court show that the family of sprint car driver Kevin Ward Jr., who was killed in an incident with Tony Stewart in August 2014, seek to depose Stewart and Chad Johnston, his former crew chief.
The depositions are part of a wrongful death lawsuit that attorneys for the Ward family filed Aug. 7, 2015, against Stewart.
Ward had been racing with Stewart in an Empire Super Sprint Series race Aug. 9, 2014, at Canandaigua (N.Y.) Motorsports Park when he hit the wall. Ward exited his car and walked down the track toward Stewart's car during a caution when he was hit and killed.
An Ontario County (N.Y.) grand jury ruled Sept. 24, 2014, that Stewart would not face criminal charges. Stewart stated in court documents last year that he did not see "Ward … walking on foot on the track until just prior to contact.''
In a Joint Status Report filed Thursday in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York, each side listed who they want to depose.
Attorneys for the Ward family seek to depose Stewart, Johnston, who was Stewart's crew chief at the time of the incident, Ontario County (N.Y.) Sheriff's officers Brad Falkney and Michael Rego, and an investigator, John Abraham.
Attorneys for Tony Stewart seek to depose Ward's parents, Pamela and Kevin Ward. The attorneys also seek to depose Jessica Zemken, a driver in that Aug. 9, 2014, race and eyewitness, Zemken's crew chief, Kevin Loveys, Chuck Hebing, a driver in that race and eyewitness, and Brian Ennis, a witness.
A Joint Motion to Amend Scheduling Order requests that deadlines be extended partly because of Stewart's injury.
A letter dated March 2 amends the request by stating that the previous version incorrectly stated Stewart was remained hospitalized. The letter says the request should have stated that Stewart "had been recently hospitalized.
Stewart-Haas Racing has not given a timetable for Stewart's return. He suffered a burst fracture of the L1 vertebra during a sand dunes accident Jan. 31.
He had surgery Feb. 3. Stewart was on Periscope Feb. 12 walking on a treadmill, answering some fan questions about his status. Stewart stated on Fox's broadcast of last weekend's Daytona 500 that he is scheduled to have an X-ray of his back March 9.
The request to extend deadlines for depositions also was made because some expected to be deposed are in the racing industry. The document states: "By extending all of the dates in the current Scheduling Order 90 days, the parties will be allowed sufficient time to adjust for Mr. Stewart's recovery and to conduct the depositions of those witnesses involved in the racing industry after the completion of the 2016 season.
Under the proposed deadline extension, all discovery in this case would need to be completed by Jan. 6, 2017. Motions would need to be filed by Feb. 8, 2017, under the extension.
The agreement is awaiting U.S. District Judge Terese Wiley Dancks' signature.

How much do upwork freelancers make?
10 October, 2021 Joe Serna 6
Answers (6):
AUTHOR: ZACHARY DAMRON
Upwork freelancers make between $2-$5 an hour. Freelancer hourly rates range from $0.25 to $5 per hour and many users find work based on their skills and proximity (up to 50 miles away) for those who bid more than $4, they can bid over 100 miles out. This is the perfect freelance job for those looking to go into business for themselves or just need some extra cash each month without committing long-term hours that come with a traditional full-time job.
AUTHOR: JAMES DAMRON
Upwork freelancers make a wide variety of income, depending on the level of skill and experience needed. The going rate for a writer is around $10-$12 per article. Junior developers start at a pay of around $20 per hour - whereas senior developers can expect to earn several times that amount. A highly skilled graphic designer might earn anywhere from 10-100 dollars per hour. A good rule of thumb for estimating hourly rates given one's skill level is to divide your minimum annual salary by 2080 hours (the number of hours in a standard work year).
AUTHOR: RUSSELL PEKAR
It's difficult to accurately determine how much freelancers on upwork make. Probably the two most important variables are what skill sets the freelancer has, and how large of a user base they can tap into. Check out this article for more information. It should also be mentioned that every company values good quality workers differently, so it would really depend on which company you're applying for in order to get an accurate answer to this question.
AUTHOR: CHARLES KLEMP
Answer: Upwork freelancers make around 20-30 USD per hour.
In general, the average hourly wage for a US freelance worker is about $20-$30 an hour. Obviously this varies among skill sets and projects. For instance, a graphic designer might charge upwards of $70-$100 an hour but that same level of expertise in data analytics work could run at around $150 an hour or more. That said, it's not uncommon for freelancers to charge below these rates to compete with other bids on popular job boards like Upwork (a platform that matches creatives with customers).
"How much do upwork freelancers make?" is determined by how good you are at what you do (and the demand) on services
AUTHOR: DANIEL MONGOLD
Upwork freelancers make between $2 and $50 per hour depending on a number of factors that affect a contractor's ranking on Upwork. Upwork determines how much contractors earn per hour by looking at three sets of rankings, individual requirements, experience levels, and project particular particularities. A contractor's rank is determined by two things: the quality of their proposals and feedback from other Upworker experts who have used them in the past. You can check out this article for more info about upworks freelancer ranking system.
AUTHOR: FRANK BADON
About 70% of people say they pay an hourly rate on Upwork. The median pays 75 cents per hour, while the average is $3.66 per hour. The results from an Upwork survey show that freelancers on their platform make a median wage of about $12,000 a year and a mean wage of about $35,800 a year. These numbers equate to around 34 hours of work for monthly wages at 50% of the American hourly salary ($18/hour) or 16 hours for 50% of the European monthly salary ($9/hour). In other words, most freelancers on upwork get paid between 8-40cents per hour (2-10euros per hour).

This piece of espionage equipment is a flashlight battery hollowed out to create a container for the concealment of larger objects like a roll of film. (Click image to view high-res.)
James Bond, Jason Bourne, Hollywood. These are what the mind conjures up at the mention of undercover espionage. However, as history tells, spies were and are a very real threat.
In 1948, Soviet Union spy Vilyam Genrikhovich Fisher—under the name Emil R. Goldfus—illegally entered the United States through Canada and would spend the next nine years posing as a photographer and artist in Brooklyn, New York.
He was tasked with finding atomic secrets and gathering top secret intelligence from the United Nations and U.S. military installations. He relayed the information to either Soviet agents or directly to the USSR and, along with another Soviet spy, actively tried to recruit agents in the U.S.
After being called back to the Soviet Union on the grounds of poor performance, Fisher's partner, fearing retribution, turned on the Soviet Union and informed the U.S. of his identity.
Prior to this agent turning himself in, the FBI had acquired a hollow nickel—discovered by a news boy—that contained an encoded message and had spent years trying to locate its source. Fisher's partner decoded the message and aided in the capture Fisher.
On June 21, 1957—60 years ago this month—Fisher was arrested by the FBI. He identified himself as Rudolf Ivonovich Abel, his signal to the Soviet Union of his capture, and the name he would be commonly known as. When his apartment in Brooklyn was searched, investigators found shortwave radios, cipher pads, cameras and film for producing microdots, a hollow shaving brush, cuff links, and other espionage equipment.
Fisher appeared before the U.S. Federal Courts in New York in what would become known as the Hollow Nickel Case. He was convicted on three counts of conspiracy and espionage as a Soviet Union spy and sentenced to 45 years of imprisonment and a $3,000 fine. He served four years of this sentence before being traded by the U.S. for Francis Gary Powers, an American U-2 pilot captured by Russia during the Cold War. Fisher returned to the Soviet Union where he would remain as a teacher until his death in 1971.
What had begun as a discovery of an encoded hollow nickel ended with the apprehension of a Soviet Union spy. The story was later dramatized in the well-known 2015 movie "Bridge of Spies."
This is one of the few pieces of espionage equipment found in Abel's apartment. It is a flashlight battery hollowed out to create a container for the concealment of larger objects such as a roll of film. Encased within the battery, to this day, is a simulated message on a roll of film. It is opened by sliding the outside paper battery cover downward and then unscrewing the top of the battery.

RSC's Matilda The Musical release video of current children and Miss Honey singing 'When I Grow Up'
Gina Beck,
Roald Dahl,
Royal Shakespeare Company,
Dennis Kelly,
Tim Minchin,
Matthew Warchus,
The Royal Shakespeare Company's production of Matilda The Musical has released a video of some of the current young performers along with Miss Honey (Gina Beck) singing 'When I Grow Up' from their homes during theatreland shutdown.
Winner of 99 international awards including 24 for Best Musical, Matilda The Musical has been seen by over 10 million people across more than 90 cities worldwide. It has become the Cambridge Theatre's longest running production and one of the top twenty longest running musicals in the West End having now welcomed over 3.5 million audience members in London.
Written by Dennis Kelly, with music and lyrics by Tim Minchin, and direction by Matthew Warchus. The production is designed by Rob Howell, with choreography by Peter Darling, orchestrations, additional music and musical supervision by Christopher Nightingale, lighting by Hugh Vanstone, sound by Simon Baker and the special effects and illusions are by Paul Kieve.
Matilda The Musical is still widely considered to be one of the most innovative British Musicals of the century. Adapted from Roald Dahl's much loved 1988 book and commissioned by the Royal Shakespeare Company, the musical premiered at the RSC's Stratford-upon-Avon home in 2010, before transferring to the West End in 2011, where it opened to rave reviews.
Bursting with revolting fun and naughtiness, it tells the story of Matilda, the strong, determined heroine, who stands up to her bullies. This brave bookworm outwits her ghastly parents The Wormwoods and horrible headteacher Miss Trunchbull using her vivid imagination, intelligence and magical powers. Dahl's themes of rebellion, bravery, protest and standing up for what you believe in are more relevant in 2020 than ever before.
Matilda The Musical swept the board at the 2012 Olivier Awards, with a record-breaking seven awards, and won four Tony Awards and a Tony Honor for Excellence in the Theater for the four girls sharing the title role on Broadway. It has since toured to Australia, New Zealand and China and played its first non-English language production in Seoul, South Korea in 2018/19.
Matilda The Musical is produced by the Royal Shakespeare Company with André Ptaszynski and Denise Wood as Executive Producers. The production was developed with the support of Jeanie O'Hare and the RSC Literary Department.

The wonder of a Game (or Trail) Camera is that you do not have to be present to get a nice picture. The December 20, 2016 photo below taken at 4:42 pm is an example. (This camera cost about $150. I liked it so well I purchased two more. They don't work as well and often refuse to flash at night, giving black pictures.) The buck is the one I call Perfect Rack. He has returned for five years.
Some of these Trail Cameras, although they are identical and cost the same, just don't perform as well as the others. Wish this photo was as crisp as those above.

1. Know the specific guidelines!
Firstly, different schools can have different requirements, so make sure you have a copy of the guidelines for your own particular course of study. Your teacher should have already given you a handout, or told you, of the expectations. If you are unsure, then simply ask.
2. Introducing the literary essay.
Your essay should begin with the introduction. Here you will introduce the broad topic (perhaps you have chosen Shakespeare's tragedies) before stating the narrowed down subject to be discussed (the subject of death in Macbeth and Hamlet, for instance). You should state the purpose and aims and objectives of your paper and mention the sources and methods you have used. Explain what the reader can hope to discover in the forthcoming pages and what conclusions may be reached.
It should be short and succinct, so don't go off on any unnecessary tangents- you have got your whole paper to explore the details.
An introduction is best written last. This way, you will have already written your paper and know exactly what points need to be covered in the opening.
3. The main text body.
Next comes the text body. This can be divided into one or more chapters of varying length. Before you start work on the main body of your work, be sure to figure out what information you want to include, where it is best placed, how many chapters you need and what their rough headings are.
The conclusion comes last. You should restate the topic and purpose of the paper and reiterate the aims of it. Restate the findings and conclusions you came to in your text body and end by summarizing the points in a punch packing manner!
5. Double check other factors.
Your structure should also take other things into account- such as how sources are inserted and annotated. Make sure you know if there is leeway with this or if there are specific guidelines you should be following. The more you can pay attention to every detail, the more highly polished your paper will be.

Q: How to find GCD for a list of (1:n) numbers in R How to find GCD for a list of (1:n) numbers in R ?
GCD=function(a, b){
m=min(a, b)
while(a%%m>0|b%%m>0){m=m-1}
return(m)}

Here is my code to find GCD for two integers, how can I modify it to find GCD for a list of numbers from 1 to n  without too much changes on my original code?
Thankyou very much !

A: You can use the any function:
GCD <- function(x) {
  m = min(x)

  while (any(x %% m > 0)){
    m = m - 1
  }

  return(m)
}

GCD(c(12, 24, 28, 36, 200))
# [1] 4

GCD(c(6, 24, 28, 36, 200))
# [1] 2

A: You can define function gcd based on GCD like below
gcd <- function(...) Reduce(GCD,list(...))

and you can try
> gcd(6, 24, 28, 36, 200)
[1] 2

The first formal negative eugenics, that is a legal provision against birth of inferior human beings, was promulgated in Western European culture by the Christian Council of Agde in 506, which forbade marriage between cousins.
The idea of a modern project of improving the human population through a statistical understanding of heredity used to encourage good breeding was originally developed by Francis Galton and, initially, was closely linked to Darwinism and his theory of natural selection. Galton had read his half-cousin Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, which sought to explain the development of plant and animal species, and desired to apply it to humans. Based on his biographical studies, Galton believed that desirable human qualities were hereditary traits, though Darwin strongly disagreed with this elaboration of his theory. In 1883, one year after Darwin's death, Galton gave his research a name: eugenics. With the introduction of genetics, eugenics became associated with genetic determinism, the belief that human character is entirely or in the majority caused by genes, unaffected by education or living conditions. Many of the early geneticists were not Darwinians, and evolution theory was not needed for eugenics policies based on genetic determinism. Throughout its recent history, eugenics has remained controversial.
Eugenic policies have been conceptually divided into two categories. Positive eugenics is aimed at encouraging reproduction among the genetically advantaged; for example, the reproduction of the intelligent, the healthy, and the successful. Possible approaches include financial and political stimuli, targeted demographic analyses, in vitro fertilization, egg transplants, and cloning. The movie Gattaca provides a fictional example of a dystopian society that uses eugenics to decided what you are capable of and your place in the world. Negative eugenics aimed to eliminate, through sterilization or segregation, those deemed physically, mentally, or morally "undesirable". This includes abortions, sterilization, and other methods of family planning. Both positive and negative eugenics can be coercive; abortion for fit women, for example, was illegal in Nazi Germany.
Jon Entine claims that eugenics simply means "good genes" and using it as synonym for genocide is an "all-too-common distortion of the social history of genetics policy in the United States." According to Entine, eugenics developed out of the Progressive Era and not "Hitler's twisted Final Solution".

Xavier head coach Chris Mack knew all along that Travis Taylor would be a great addition and key player for the Musketeers in the 2011-12 season. Taylor, a 6-foot-7, 214 pound junior forward averaged 17.8 points per game and 7.6 rebounds per game as a sophomore at Monmouth two years ago. Last season, Taylor was required to sit out due to NCAA transfer rules, but still practiced with the Muskies and learned Coach Mack's system. What is especially impressive about Taylor is his ceiling for potential growth as a basketball player. He never played organized basketball until his junior year in high school, yet he was named to the Northeast Conference All-Rookie team just two years later as a collegiate freshman at Monmouth.

Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler has blasted reports funk legend Sly Stone is using drugs again, insisting the FAMILY AFFAIR singer is "sharp" and "astute".
Concerns for Stone's health were sparked when he appeared at the Grammy Awards earlier this month (FEB06), when he was introduced onstage by Tyler as part of a tribute to him.
Dressed in a silver suit and sporting a white mohawk haircut, he seemed less than comfortable to be back on stage, made no contact with the stars honouring him, and left before the song was over.
But Tyler caught up with his hero backstage and insists people are reading too much into Stone's stage appearance.
He says, "I take great pride in knowing that if I just met you, I could tell if you were on blow, pot or you just yelled at your old lady.
"Sly looked great. He was sharp, astute."


This course is the online component to the 50-hr Foundations Module offered by the Summers School of Yin Yoga.
NOTE: You get free 90-day access to this online course when you enroll in any 50-hr Yin Yoga Teacher Training Foundations Module offered by the Summers School of Yin Yoga.
Upon registration, you'll receive a link that grants you 90-day free access to the online course (a $125 value). Please note: You will need to complete the online course, including a short quiz, before attending the live teacher training module. Estimated time to complete the online course: 5-7 hrs.
You don't need to be enrolled in Summers School of Yin Yoga in order to take this online course. It is designed to be a self-contained introduction to the concepts and practice of Yin Yoga. It can be taken on its own, giving you a low-risk opportunity to see if this module (or the school) is the right fit for you.
Practice: Posture Practice with Tension and Compression Analysis; Full Sequence Practice - Playing, Observing Sensing.
Below is a complete list of all the course lessons. Each lesson contains a video – and throughout the course, you'll find worksheets and other downloads.
Lesson 1: Yin Yoga 101: What is Yin Yoga?
Required text (for the live component): Your Body, Your Yoga by Bernie Clark. It's not necessary to read this before the training, but this will serve as your ongoing reference book.
Here's what past students have said about this module.
"The Body Sublime: Functional Elements of Yin Yoga" suggests a comprehensive overview of the practice – and it delivers. Naturally, the course begins with a working definition of Yin Yoga and then advances through some pretty interesting stuff – Connective Tissue, Fascia, Fibroblasts, Extracellular Matrix, Collagen, GAGS, and more. Best of all, Josh (with a demo by Terry), gives us not one – but two solid practices! The Posture Practice is all about the exploration of what we feel and the identification of tension and/or compression. This segment of the course requires a little soul and body searching but is worth the time and effort. The Sequence Practice is rich with take-homes, especially in the "Playing, Observing, Sensing" section. Bottom line – this is not a required study to hurry through and pass the test – but to chew on a bit, take time to digest, and then move forward better-nourished than before.

Q: C++ char while( str != '\0') I'm building a very simple program in C++. The program is working like this, you will input some random number(this number can be of any reasonable size) So for example if you input 23215 you will get 87890 as output. But my while statement here "while(str != '\0') aint working like it's supposed to do. Someone knows why? Because from what I know '\0' is the specific symbol for end of a char. (And I know that str is a bad name for a char, I'm to lazy to change that now)
int main()
{
char str;
cout << "Enter a coded message: ";
cin >> str;
cout << endl;
cout << "Decoded message: ";
while (str != '\0')
{
switch (str)
        {
        case '0': cout << "5";
            break;
        case '1': cout << "9";
            break;
        case '2': cout << "8";
            break;
        case '3': cout << "7";
            break;
        case '4': cout << "6";
            break;
        case '5': cout << "0";
            break;
        case '6': cout << "4";
            break;
        case '7': cout << "3";
            break;
        case '8': cout << "2";
            break;
        case '9': cout << "1";
            break;
        }
    }
    cout << endl;
    }

A: There are a a few bugs in your program. A pretty big one is you need to have the user enter a string and not a char. Take a look at the following code
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main() {
    string input;

    cout << "Enter a coded message: ";
    cin >> input;

    cout << "Decoded message: ";
    for (int i = 0; i < input.size(); ++i) {
        switch (input[i]) {
            case '0': cout << "5";
                break;
            case '1': cout << "9";
                break;
            case '2': cout << "8";
                break;
            case '3': cout << "7";
                break;
            case '4': cout << "6";
                break;
            case '5': cout << "0";
                break;
            case '6': cout << "4";
                break;
            case '7': cout << "3";
                break;
            case '8': cout << "2";
                break;
            case '9': cout << "1";
                break;
            default:
                      cout << "X";
                      break;
        }
    }

    cout << endl;

    return 0;
}

A:
But my while statement here while(str != '\0') aint working like it's supposed to do. Someone knows why?

When you read a character from an input stream, it will never be equal to '\0'. That's the first error in logic.
Also, you are reading str only once. You are not reading anything but the first character of your input.
Change your code to:
int main()
{
   int ch;
   cout << "Enter a coded message: ";
   cout << endl;
   cout << "Decoded message: ";
   while ( (ch = cin.get()) != EOF )
   {
      switch (ch)

If you want to stop reading after reading all the characters in the first line, you can use:
int main()
{
   int ch;
   cout << "Enter a coded message: ";
   cout << endl;
   cout << "Decoded message: ";
   while ( (ch = cin.get()) != EOF && ch != '\n' )
   {
      switch (ch)


Thirty years into their storied career, Megadeth can still bring the noise.
Filling Bayou Music Center to about 60 percent capacity Thursday night, the turnout was a bit disappointing for the Los Angeles-based thrash metal gurus who, despite being middle-aged, performed like they were in their twenties. Perhaps their fans are the ones who haven't retained that youthful energy. Or maybe they just couldn't get out on a weeknight.
Their extended tenure in the music business aside, Megadeth is still mentioned in pop culture. About halfway through the show, a scene from "Silver Linings Playbook" was shown. In it, John Ortiz talks to Bradley Cooper about retiring to the garage and punching things while listening to Megadeth. (Ah, married life.) Fittingly, the band reemerged and performed "Sweating Bullets."
"Feeling claustrophobic like the walls are closing in," front man and founding member Dave Mustaine growled, his fingers running up and down the neck of his guitar. "Bloodstains on my hands, and I don't know where I've been."
Later, before "A Tout le Monde," another movie scene was played. In "Wayne's World 2," when asked, "Don't you just love music?" Dana Carvey responds with "Do you have any Megadeth?"
And, of course, who could forget that song about Mustaine's ex-friend's ex-wife, "who was a very, very bad woman." "She-Wolf" was dedicated to all the ladies in the crowd, though it's unclear whether that was meant as a compliment.
Mustaine still possesses the stage presence of a young man but is beginning to look and sound like an aged rock star. He has reportedly cleaned up and rediscovered his faith, but his partying days have clearly taken their toll. He's got the body of a man at least ten years his senior, and his voice, while still strong enough to placate Megadeth enthusiasts, isn't what it once once. Lucky for fans, his hands work just fine, and he can still shred with the best of them.
Hell, he just might be the best.
Megadeth focused on their older crowd-pleasers Thursday night, sweeping most cuts from their latest release under the rug except for "Kingmaker." And rightfully so, because this year's Super Collider has not been received well. Fans most likely wouldn't have taken too kindly to being subjected to the new songs.
Thankfully, Megadeth have enough great songs in their repertoire that a tepid release won't stop them from bringing a great show to town. And if Mustaine stays clean, we might just have these guys around for a bit longer.
Which sure would be fun.
Personal Bias: Since growing a beard, I suddenly have an affinity for metal. Who knew? Maybe I'll grow my hair out too.
Random Notebook Dump: Watching the faces of those exiting the theater around the corner -- prim, proper and bejeweled -- as they walked past Megadeth fans outside the venue -- grungy, tattooed and wearing a lot of black -- was priceless.

Jonathan Ned Katz: "Abe and Josh, Mary and Mercy," September 13, 1988
Revision as of 22:18, 9 November 2012 by Jnk (talk | contribs) (Created page with "==Abraham Lincoln, Joshua Speed, Mary Todd, and Mercy Levering== Abraham Lincoln's romantic friendship with Joshua Speed began in 1837, when Lincoln walked for the first time in...")
Abraham Lincoln, Joshua Speed, Mary Todd, and Mercy Levering
Abraham Lincoln's romantic friendship with Joshua Speed began in 1837, when Lincoln walked for the first time into Speed's general store in Springfield, Illinois, and asked about the price of bedding.
Speed later reported that he took one look at the melancholy Lincoln and told him, "I have a very large room and a very large double bed in it, which you are perfectly welcome to share with me if you choose." Lincoln took his saddlebags up to Speed's room, returned smiling, and said, "Well, Speed, I'm moved."
The easy intimacy that Lincoln fell into with Joshua Speed contrasts with Lincoln's uneasy relationship with his fiancee, Mary Todd.
In the 19th century, women and men lived and worked in separate spheres; therefore, they often approached each other warily, as strangers, across a great gender divide. The first sexual meeting between a married man and woman was often experienced as an anxiety-provoking duty. In contrast, the separate same-sex spheres also fostered intense, often eros-filled romantic friendships of men with men and women with women.
At the very time that Lincoln and Speed were sharing men's confidences, Mary Todd was pursuing her own same-sex romance with Mercy Levering, and the two corresponded when Levering left Springfield.
Todd wrote Levering that she missed the "happiness of seeing one I love so well." In the past year, said Todd, "the brightest associations are connected with thee."
At the end of 1840, Todd wrote to Levering, not mentioning her engagement to Lincoln. Todd did refer jokingly to a friend's projected "crime of matrimony." She also wondered, "Why is it that married folks always become so serious?"
Todd was quite happy, however, to imagine Levering as the partner for whose return she yearned: "We cannot do much longer without you, your mate misses you too much from her nest, not to marvel at the delay."
On New Year's Day, 1841, Lincoln showed Joshua Speed a letter he planned to give Mary Todd. In this, Lincoln said he "did not love her sufficiently to warrant her in marrying him." Speed told Lincoln to see Todd immediately, break their engagement, and not put anything in writing.
Doing as he was told, Lincoln fell into a deep depression (over his failure, perhaps, in the male suitor role). He had to be watched closely night and day by friends, who feared he might commit suicide. Lincoln accompanied Speed on a month's visit to his parents in Kentucky, where Lincoln' recovered.
Meanwhile, Mary Todd was reminding Mercy Levering of the "love which I feel has ever been ours towards each other." Todd. declared, "Time and absence only serve to deepen the interest with which I have always regarded you."
As Lincoln's spirits rose following his broken engagement, Joshua Speed recalled his own spirits sinking: "In the summer of 1841 I became engaged to my wife, " and he found himself very unhappy from the time of my engagement until I was married."
When Speed started back to Kentucky to marry in January 1842, Lincoln gave him a supposedly encouraging letter saying it was "reasonable that you will feel very badly ... between this and the final consummation of your purpose." Lincoln repeated that Speed "will feel very bad" due to the "approach of that crisis on which all your thoughts and feelings concentrate."
Lincoln repeated that before marrying, Speed "will at some time, be agonized and distressed." Lincoln would feel "most egregiously deceived" if Speed escaped "without another 'twinge of soul.' "
The reference by Lincoln to a "final consummation" suggests that the sexual consummation of Speed's marriage was the "crisis" about which Speed and he were obsessing.
Lincoln's stressing Speed's future distress was hardly a way to lift-his friend's spirits. Lincoln, it seems, welcomed Speed's anxiety and would not have minded sabotaging the marriage that would separate them. Much historical evidence documents the distress of one romantic friend when a same-sex beloved moved toward the socially expected, othersex marriage.
Speed wrote to Lincoln the night of his marriage -- after the consummation! Lincoln reported opening this letter with "trepidation ... although it turned out better than I expected."
Lincoln wrote, "I tell you, Speed, our forebodings, for which you and I are rather peculiar, are all the worst sort of nonsense. " Speed had said, remarked Lincoln, "that 'something indescribably horrible and alarming still haunts you. He assured Speed he'd get over it.
Lincoln told Speed not to show his new wife Lincoln's letter, so Lincoln enclosed a second -- a subterfuge that re-created a special intimacy between the two men, separating Speed from his wife.
In his second letter, Lincoln admitted, "I feel somewhat jealous of both of you now: you will be so exclusively concerned for one another that I shall be forgotten entirely."
Speed's marriage did end his and Lincoln's romantic friendship. And Speed's successful consummation encouraged Lincoln to propose again, successfully, to Mary Todd.
Reedited from the original. This essay was first published as "Making History: Abe and Josh, Mary and Mercy: Bedding Down with the Young Mr. Lincoln," The Advocate, September 13, 1988, pages 47-48.

Another page done at the retreat - this layout had been on the back burner for quite a while, as I had picked the background paper months ago but got stuck on how to use it without overpowering the photo. Finally I found a sketch, picked some other more neutral papers, and was ready to go!
The photo is of the penguins at Berlin Zoo. They stand so still it's difficult to tell if they are real, until they move!!
I cut down the Authentique background paper, inked the edges and framed with a sheet of Bazzill. Then I cut the various panels, I think the papers (from top down) are HoTP, Graphic 45 and possibly Simple Stories. The title is done with some tiny letter stickers (American crafts?). Although, I couldn't remember how many p-p-p's were needed and after some discussion round the table, we had to Google the original advert to find out (thank you Lyn)!!
Don't know how I missed this one - what a super LO & photo.
A lovely layout & the colours of the papers go together so well.

Маковійчук Василь Іванович (,  — , Вінниця) — український греко-католицький священник, репресований польською та радянською владою.

Життєпис
Розпочав богословські студії в Станиславівській духовній семінарії (1908 р.), закінчив Львівську духовну семінарію, 1912 року отримав сан священника. 16 липня цього ж року одружився з Марією-Аурелією, дочкою бл. п. отця Григорія Козицького пароха в Залуччю над Прутом і Ядвиги Шеренгоф.

Душпастирську діяльність розпочав сотрудником у селі Соснова Підгаєцького повіту Зарваницького деканату Львівської архидієцезії. А з 20 червня 1915 (у шематизмі Дмитра Блажейовського — 1923) року служив на парохії в селі Хомчині (сучасний Хімчин) на Косівщині. Крім материнської церкви, отець Василь Маковійчук обслуговував дочірню церкву в Кривобродах, яка згоріла 28 червня 1987 року. Жив отець біля церкви у резиденції, збудованій 1884 року. Резиденцію «визволителі» пізніше використали під сільську раду та магазин.

1925 року всечеснійший отець Василь Маковійчук хрестив майбутнього Патріарха України-Руси Володимир (Романюк).

1935 року в Хімчині відбулися Святі Місії. Уділили їх Всечеснійші отці Редемптористи Василь (Величковський) та Степан Антонишин. Висповідалася вся парохія, отець Василь дуже цьому радів.

У селі отець Василь Маковійчук організував хор, читальню «Скала» (49 членів). Зусиллями отця церква отримала з Апостольської Столиці Хресну дорогу з XIV стаціями, канонічно креовану 1937 року, яка збереглася донині. Він не дозволив полякам будувати костел, виступав проти ополячування українців, за що був засуджений польською владою в липні 1939 року на вісім місяців.

З 1942 року душпастирська діяльність отця Василя відбувалася в селах Хлібичині Пільному та Борщеві на Снятинщині. Згодом він змушений був працювати під пильним оком репресивного режиму. 19 вересня 1945 року більшовики заарештували отця Василя Маковійчука, приписуючи співпрацю з німцями та антирадянську пропаганду. Доніс чекістам на отця комуніст Михайло Чайка. Справжні причини арешту були зовсім інші: отець Василь посвячував у Хімчині могилу січових стрільців, мав зв'язки з українським підпіллям. Посадили священника на бричку й повезли до Заболотова, де протримали майже два тижні, переведений до Станиславівської в'язниці. Військовим трибуналом військ НКВС Станиславської області 9 березня 1946 р. засуджений на 10 років позбавлення волі і 3 роки пораження в правах із конфіскацією майна.

Загинув 8 лютого 1951 р. у Вінницькій в'язниці, місце поховання невідоме. Реабілітований 27 вересня 1993 р. (12371 п).

Вшанування пам'яті
2 серпня 2011 року на стіні Свято-Михайлівської церкви в Борщеві відкрито й освячено меморіальну дошку на честь священників Данила Микитюка і Василя Маковійчука.

The nearshore benthic habitat of the Santa Barbara coast and Channel Islands supports diverse marine life that is commercially, recreationally, and intrinsically valuable. Some of these resources are known to be endangered including a variety of rockfish and the white abalone. Agencies of the state of California and the United States have been mandated to preserve and enhance these resources. Data from sidescan sonar, bathymetry, video and dive observations, and physical samples are consolidated in a geographic information system (GIS). The GIS provides researchers and policymakers a view of the relationship among data sets to assist scienctific research and to help with economic and social policy-making decisions regarding this protected environment.
In 1980, Congress designated Anacapa, San Miguel, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz and Santa Rosa Islands and 125,000 acres of submerged lands extending 1 nautical mile (nmi) offshore as the Channel Islands National Park because they possess unique natural and cultural resources. Also in 1980, a 1,252 square-nautical-mile area of the Santa Barbara Channel was designated as the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary (CINMS). The CINMS encompasses an area from the mean high-tide line out to six nautical miles around the islands of San Miguel, Santa Rosa, Santa Cruz, and, Anacapa and seaward of the city of Santa Barbara. The sanctuary's objectives are to enhance resource protection, preserve natural beauty, and preserve the bounty of marine ecosystems. Since 1999, the CINMS has collaborated with the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) to produce a plan for the establishment of marine reserves, or no-take zones, around the northern Channel Islands. This follows the establishment of several Marine reserves along the California coast (CDFG and CINMS, 2001).
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has conducted a research project in the sanctuary since 1999 to map the marine geological environment (Cochrane and others, 2002). The focus of the USGS study is on the broad, flat continental shelf, areas shallower than 100 m (328 ft), between Point Arguello to the north and Point Dume to the south and around the northern Channel Islands. The project tasks focused on mapping the seafloor with sidescan sonar and diver observations, collecting video data in the survey areas, and compiling existing sediment sample data. Polygon areas classified be bottom habitat were generated from this research.
The mapping areas for this first volume of the GIS were dictated by the establishment of marine ecological reserves at Vandenberg and Big Sycamore Canyon (Figure 1), and the Marine Ecological Reserves Research Program (MERRP), created by the CDFG and administered by the California Sea Grant College Program (Vetter and others, 2002). Since the types of habitat and the condition of the fish communities contained within these nearshore reserves were not fully known, two additional study sites were added. The rationale was to include an island site (San Miguel Island) that contained rocky habitat within the cold temperate Oregonian biogeographic province (Vetter and others, 2002) that could serve as a comparison to the Vandenberg site (Anacapa Island) and an island site that contained rocky habitat within the warm temperate San Diegan biogeographic province (Vetter and others, 2002) for comparison with the Big Sycamore site. This geographic information system (GIS) compilation presents the results of sidescan sonar mapping of the seafloor, and video and diver transect observations, in the four study areas (Figure 1).
Revisions and Updates
This GIS compilation will be revised and updated as new data become available. The most flexible way to do this will be to post changes on the internet (online). Versions will be published online and links to each will be available at http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/nearshorehab. To check on the volume and version of your GIS look at Revision History. The hosting site could change. If there is no forwarding link, go the the USGS home page and search for keywords Southern California habitat.
File and Data Formats
Text files (.txt) on the web site may be viewed without special software. Hypertext mark-up language files (.html) require a browser such as Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer. GIF (.gif), JPEG (.jpg) or TIFF (.tif) images may be viewed by many common image software packages. The data files require ESRI ArcExplorer, ArcView, or Arc/Info. ArcExplorer, is an application that ESRI licenses without charge for Windows operating systems. ArcView and ArcInfo are licensed applications that must be purchased.
The data were compiled in ArcInfo (version 8.0.2, ESRI, 1982-2000), a commercial GIS, in the UTM Zone 10 coordinate system with datum NAD83. Raster data layers are in ArcInfo GRID format or are registered TIFF images. Point, line and polygon features are in ESRI shapefile format. Shapefiles were generated in geographic coordinates with datum NAD83 for the ArcView 3.2a project. Each data layer is accompanied by FGDC-compliant metadata and an overview map.
The authors would like to thank the staff of the CINMS for their support of this project. Mike Boyle, Fred Payne and others at the USGS Western Region Marine Facility expertly assisted with the acquistion and logistics. We would also like to thank the crews of the NOAA R/V MacArthur, NOAA R/V Ballena, and the UCSD R/V Sproul. Visual observations were contributed by the projects of Russ Vetter, and John Butler of the U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service. Submersible time for bottom video was contributed by Sylvia Earle and the NOAA Sustainable Seas Expedition. Use of an ROV was provided by the Santa Clara University Extreme Environment Mechanisms Lab. Florence Wong provided HTML and GIS design guidance and a review of this publication.
