Pěnkavčí vrch (deutsch Finkenkoppe, auch Finkenkuppe) ist mit  der zweithöchste Berg des Lausitzer Gebirges in Tschechien.

Lage und Umgebung
Die massive Phonolitherhebung befindet sich 2,5 km westlich der Lausche (, tschech. Luž) und wird durch einen hohen Buchenwald bedeckt. Über den Berg verläuft die Wasserscheide zwischen den Einzugsgebieten von Elbe und Oder, die nördlichen und westlichen Quellen und Bäche führen ihr Wasser zur Lausur und Mandau, während die Zuflüsse zum Hamerský potok (Hammerbach) und Boberský potok (Boberbach) über die Svitávka (Zwittebach) und Ploučnice (Polzen) zur Elbe abfließen.

Nördlich der Finkenkoppe ist, getrennt durch das Tal des Milířka (Kohlhaubach), in etwa anderthalb Kilometer Entfernung der Weberberg () vorgelagert, über den die deutsch-tschechische Landesgrenze verläuft. Der Hamerský potok (Hammerbach) bildet die natürliche Grenze im Osten. Das gegen Westen gelegene Tal des Lesenský potok (Goldflössel) und des Míšeňský důl (Meißengrund) trennt die Finkenkoppe von dem Massiv, aus dem Jedlová (Tannenberg) und Tolštejn (Tollenstein) herausragen. Südwestlich, am Ursprung des Goldflössels, liegt gegenüber dem Kamm Jelení kameny (Hirschenstein) in  der Stožecké sedlo (Schöberpass), über den die zwischen 1794 und 1797 errichtete Straße von Rumburk nach Česká Lípa führt. Südlich des Pěnkavčí vrch erhebt sich der Kegel des  hohen Bouřný (Friedrichsberg). Durch den dazwischen liegenden Pass führt die 1937 errichtete vorderste Bunkerreihe der Schöberlinie, eines Teilabschnitts der tschechoslowakischen Landesbefestigung, die hier doppelreihig in leichter Bauart ausgeführt wurde.

Erschließung

Die touristische Erschließung des Berges erfolgte erst spät. Entlang der über den Gipfel verlaufenden historischen Grenze zwischen den Herrschaften Reichstadt und Rumburg, die noch heute den Okres Děčín vom Okres Česká Lípa trennt, erfolgte ab 1907 die Anlegung eines befestigten Wanderweges vom Vogelherd (Ptačinec) zum Schöbersattel (Stožecké sedlo) und 1909 wurde auf dem Gipfel eine Schutzhütte erbaut, die bereits 1925 einstürzte. Später wurde der Wanderweg wegen der durch hohen Baumbewuchs nur noch stark eingeschränkten Aussichtsmöglichkeiten westlich um den Gipfel herumgeführt. Entlang des alten Wegverlaufs befinden sich noch einzelne Grenzsteine von 1704 und 1750.

Besonderheiten

Ptačinec
Der Ptačinec (Vogelherd) ist der nördlichste Ausläufer des Pěnkavčí vrch. Die Erhebung () liegt 2,5 Kilometer westlich von Waltersdorf nahe der deutsch-tschechischen Grenze. Über den unterhalb des Vogelherdes zum Weberberg hin befindlichen Bergsattel Černá brána (Schwarzes Tor) führte einst ein Verbindungsweg aus dem Kohlhaugrund (Milířky údolí) bei Innozenzidorf (Lesné) nach der Eisgasse und Waltersdorf.

Ein direkt auf der Grenze stehender Quarzitfelsen trägt die Bezeichnung Dreiecker (Trojhran). Auf dem  hohen Fels wendet sich die von Osten auf dem Kamm des Lausitzer Gebirges führende Grenze aus dem Gebirge hinaus nach Norden in Richtung Dolní Podluží (Niedergrund) und Varnsdorf (Warnsdorf) ins Nordböhmische Niederland. Neben einem auf dem Felsen angebrachten granitenen neuzeitlichen Grenzstein sind im Felsgestein alte Grenzzeichen und mehrere Jahreszahlen aus der Zeit von 1653 bis 1783 eingehauen. Eine auf deutschem Gebiet angebrachte Tafel erläutert, dass der Fels das Dreiländereck zwischen den Herrschaften Rumburg (R), Reichstadt (RE) und dem Weichbild der Stadt Zittau (Z) darstellte.

Am Westhang des Vogelherdes befinden sich die Vrabčí kámen (Sperlinge), zwei freistehende Quarzitfelsen, die als leichte Kletterfelsen genutzt und auch als Babice bekannt sind.

Westhang
Am westlichen Hang der Finkenkoppe sind mehrere Felsgebilde zu finden. Unterhalb der Jagdhütte Na milíři am Übergang zur Sandsteinfläche des Teufelsplans (Čertova pláň) ist der über dem Jezevčí důl (Dachsgrund) befindliche Jezevčí kámen (Dachsstein) erwähnenswert.

Weiter in südlicher Richtung zum Tal des Lesenský potok (Goldflössel) hin folgen nacheinander die Basaltfelsen des Klapáč (Pulverschöber, ), Granát (Granatenschöber, ) und Pětikostelní kámen (Fünfkirchenstein, ). Letzterer hat seinen Namen davon, dass von seiner Aussicht nach Nordwesten fünf Kirchtürme sichtbar sein sollen. Den westlichsten Ausläufer bildet der am Schöberpass (Stožecké sedlo) gelegene Smrčec (Fichtenschöber, ).

The Calgary-based exploration and production company will now hold core-of-the-core assets in three major North American shale basins, including the Permian, SCOOP/STACK and the Montney. The value of the merger is roughly $5.5 billion, according to Encana.


10.01 - Sleep and Anesthesia: Shared Phenotype and Shared Mechanism?
Hello, my name is George Mashour.
also a faculty in the Neuroscience Graduate Program here.
And today, I'm going to give you a lecture on the interfaces of sleep and anesthesia.
why we should care about sleep neurobiology.
question in anesthesiology, namely, how do general anesthetics work?
we still don't have a precise understanding of their mechanism.
there are also a number of clinical concerns.
another reason why we need to understand sleep neurobiology.
so we really need to understand that interface of sleep and anesthesiology.
So today, I'm going to be exploring three questions.
Do sleep and anesthesia have a shared phenotype?
That is, do they look alike?
Do they have a shared underlying mechanism?
And finally, do they have a shared function?
And that's something that my lab has done some work on.
So first, let me state the obvious.
Sleep and anesthesia do not have a trivial identity relationship.
That is, they're distinct states.
We know this in the field of sleep neurobiology and anesthesiology.
Michael Jackson, which occurred due to an overdose of propofol.
a commonly used intravenous anesthetic to help him with sleep.
And of course, the state of anesthesia is different than sleep.
And really, this is a dramatic example of why that's the case.
we very commonly use sleep as a metaphor for general anesthesia.
we're going to be sending you off to sleep now.
You're going to have a pleasant nap.
you're going to be feeling good.
our knowledge of unconsciousness, and in particular, reversible unconsciousness.
And further more, they're positive connotations of health and restoration.
We tend to feel good after we're sleeping.
I'm about to induce a reversible pharmacologic coma.
So we tend to use sleep as a metaphor for general anesthesia.
So when did this metaphor come about?
Well, I can't tell you precisely.
and the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept.
the concept of surgical anesthesia as a kind of deep sleep is an ancient one.
So we use sleep as a metaphor for anesthesia.
Is that because they look alike?
Do they have a shared phenotype?
that have distinct traits or are comprised of distinct traits.
Anesthesia, as I mentioned before is something that's pharmacologic.
We're inducing this pharmacologic coma.
stimulus, for example, the surgeon's scalpel.
Sleep on the other hand is a spontaneous process.
It's endogenous, the brain is generating sleep.
you would probably wake up pretty quickly.
And finally, sleep is homeostatic.
I don't think anybody could make the claim that we need a general anesthetic.
So despite these distinct traits, there are also a number of shared traits.
First of all, hypnosis, we're disconnected from our environment or we're unconscious.
Analgesia, we have some pain relief or decreased sensitivity to pain.
And finally immobility, certainly during REM sleep we have a REM paralysis.
we don't want a patient moving around on the table during a surgery.
we can also see some similarities between sleep and anesthesia.
This slide actually comes from a paper by Dr.
Lydic's group, one of the course directors.
look quite similar to the slow waves induced by the anesthetic halothane.
but they have striking similarities.
that's been recently studied in a more formal way.
And there are a number of striking homologies or similarities.
The authors of this article saw slow waves on all unconscious states.
They spanned a large number of electroencephalographic channels.
They had a consistent frequency and distribution.
were propagated posteriorly to the back of the brain.
So I've told you that sleep is used as a metaphor for general anesthesia.
between sleep and anesthesia that are driving these phenotypic similarities?
hypothesis, that was put forth by one the the course directors Dr. Ralph Lydic.
Dr. Helen Baghdoyan, also very much a part of this line of investigation.
some traits characteristic of anesthetic-induced states.
we need to talk a little bit about the neurobiology of sleep-wake control.
in the subcortical region of the brain that are important for driving sleep.
And these can roughly be broken up into arousal centers.
So these are centers that are promoting cortical arousal.
And you have the LC, the locus coeruleus which transmits norepinephrine.
pedunculopontine tegmentum, they transmit acetylcholine.
So these kinds of arousal centers are critical for keeping the brain awake.
It's a redundant system which is important.
But of course, we don't spend all of our time awake.
And you can see with the red dots are some important sleep promoting centers.
galanin, this is located in the hypothalamus.
And this was an interesting target to think about anesthetic mechanisms.
So here's the center in the brain that seems to turn on when you go to sleep.
It seems to control sleep.
Could it be a center that's important in controlling anesthesia?
metabolic activity, was increased in the ventrolateral preoptic nucleus or VLPO.
So there's an associated increase.
And more recently, the laboratory of Dr.
neurons within VLPO are turned on by the anesthetic isoflurane.
it does to anesthetic sensitivity.
that's the solid red line, there's a shift to the right of the dose response curve.
That means you need more of the drug to get the same behavioral effect.
suggesting that the VLPO plays a role in anesthetic mechanism.
that's in the dashed red line, there's a left-ward shift.
So why should this be the case?
Why do we have this bimodal response?
to sleep without the VLPO.
sensitive to the effects of isoflurane because of sleep deprivation.
anesthetic sensitivity later in the talk.
connectivity during the waking state and non-REM sleep.
So what does effective connectivity mean?
Well, you might have heard of functional connectivity.
That's when two areas of the brain covary in their activity.
but they're not really influencing one another.
causal influence from one brain region to another and vice versa.
So it's kind of a surrogate for different brain regions talking to one another.
And what you see here, you see a high density EEG cap.
stimulator that's going to deliver a stimulus to the brain.
So at the top, you can see the waking state.
potentials that are spreading after that TMS burst.
And below that you see a voltage contour map.
activation that are lighting up, and importantly, moving around the brain.
regions extends to about 280 milliseconds.
you see what happens during non-REM sleep.
that activation doesn't really go anywhere, either in space or in time.
And the potentials are truncated, in this case, at about 120 milliseconds.
The same thing seemed to happen during anesthesia.
In this case, unconsciousness induced with medazolam, sometimes known as Versed.
but again, it doesn't really go anywhere.
So the brain seems to stop talking amongst the different regions.
unconsciousness, it doesn't mean that we always have a shared mechanism.
And this is a good example of the difference between sleep and anesthesia.
So immobility during anesthesia is mediated primarily by spinal mechanisms.
And that was shown in the early 1990s.
immobility during sleep is mediated primarily by supraspinal mechanisms.
namely immobility, but without a shared underlying mechanism.
a shared phenotype that is likely driven by shared underlying mechanisms.
But what about shared function?


Ashtana Yoga (Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga) is a style of Yoga that is promoted as the modern form of Yoga. K.Pattabhi Jois founded and popularized this style. He had begun to learn Yoga from the age of 12 in the year 1927. By 1948, Pattabhi Jois established an institute that taught Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. The name for this new style of yoga was coined after the eight limbs of Yoga that are mentioned in Yoga Sutras of Patajali.
Ashtanga yoga emphasizes on flexibility, relaxation and breathing. It is aimed solely at improving the health of the person practicing this style of Yoga. Viniyasa popularly known as Ashtanga involves several breathing techniques and it requires the person to have full control over their breathing. It needs lot of dedication and practice to become a professional in this field.
The fact is that we have been practicing Yoga right from our childhood, either knowingly or unknowingly. However, it is not done systematically and therefore we do not get the effects that are related to it. By performing yoga under the guidance of an expert will ensure that you get better results. Let us have a look at a few steps and tips related to Viniyasa.
You start by doing the Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation). This is a complete cycle of stretching of the body wherein every nerve of the body is stretched and becomes active. Surya Namaskar includes moderate to extreme levels of stretching of the body.
It is important to inhale properly at the right time while stretching for maximum effect.
Once you have understood the way to practice Surya Namaskar you can try other asanas such as Tadasana or Mountain Pose. This also involves stretching of the body and therefore counting the breath is important.
Tadasana requires you to stand straight with both feet together. You have to hold your arms in a prayer position and slowly lift your toes. Simultaneously, lift the hands up in the air and stretch to the maximum. Hold this position for some seconds while counting your breath.
Next asana is the Uttan Tadasana, which is the second stage of Tadasana. Lie on your back and keep your toes together. Take a deep breath, hold it and raise your hands up above the head. Now slowly lift your legs upwards as much as possible.
Avoid pushing to the maximum immediately. Slowly increase the level of stretching to avoid any injury. Exhale and slowly bring the hands down. Repeat this at least 10 times for better results.

Criminal Defense concerns the rights of every citizen to receive competent, fair and vigorous representation when accused of a criminal offense. It is vital that the constitutional rights of each individual be advanced and safeguarded in a justice system that can often be impersonal and can push for unfair or wrong resolutions. It is also necessary that all criminal defense tactics be implemented based upon a full and complete investigation and understanding of the facts. Attorney Nicholas Frye is an experienced and highly successful practitioner in this area and will provide you with maximum effort as well as a sound understanding of the strategy and tactics inherent to determining the course of how your case will be best defended.
Landlord/Tenant Law is the field of law that governs over the landlord-tenant relationship and protects the rights of both the Landlord and Tenant respectively. This area of law covers a wide variety of subjects from rental agreements, evictions, and the breach of various covenants such as the covenant of habitability and the covenant of quiet enjoyment. Unfortunately, the rights of both Landlords and Tenants are constantly violated here in the Commonwealth, and often these violations go without remedy because the individuals do not fully understand the law and it's protections. Whenever any Landlord/Tenant dispute arises, it is essential that the person contact a qualified attorney in order to receive sound counsel and explanations regarding the law, the individual's rights, and possible solutions to the specific dispute.
Civil Litigation/Personal Injury Law involves resolution of non-criminal disputes, often about money damages or other forms of compensation. This encompasses personal injury claims, business or contract litigation, civil tort claims and other forms of equitable disputes. Before taking court action, it is often possible to negotiate an optimal settlement, although we believe that a party must always be ready to back up words with action and file a lawsuit when necessary. Attorney Nicholas Frye is a highly skilled and experienced negotiator with a track record of achieving the maximum available settlement in civil matters. A major factor into Attorney Frye's success is that he prepares each and every case as if it is going to trial, so that opposing parties know that demands for relief are serious, legitimate, and that the firm is willing to take the case to trial in order to achieve a maximum result for the client.

Scientists develop camera to see polarised light
Portable polarization-sensitive camera could be used in machine vision, autonomous vehicles, security, atmospheric chemistry, and more.
Polarization describes the path along which light's electric field vector oscillates. An essential quality of electromagnetic radiation, polarization is often omitted in its mathematical treatment. Nevertheless, polarization and its measurement are of interest in almost every area of science, as well as in imaging technology.
Imaging the polarization of light scattered from an object gives an additional opportunity for digging more information from the scene. Conventional polarimeters can be bulky and usually comprise of precisely moving parts.
In a new study, scientists at the Harvard John A. Paulson of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have devised highly compact, portable camera to image polarized light in a single shot.
The camera comes without any conventional without conventional polarization optics and moving parts. Works on the principle of polarisation, the camera offers detail information about the objects with which light interacts.
The portable polarization camera is about two centimeters in diameter and uses a metasurface with an array of subwavelength spaced nanopillars to direct light based on its polarization.

Paul Chevalier, a postdoctoral fellow at SEAS and co-author of the study, said, "Polarisation is a feature of light that is changed upon reflection off a surface. Based on that change, polarisation can help us in the 3D reconstruction of an object, to estimate its depth, texture, and shape, and to distinguish human-made objects from natural ones, even if they're the same shape and color."
Scientists primarily harnessed the potential of metasurfaces, nanoscale structures that interact with light at wavelength size-scales. Then by understanding how polarized light interacts with objects, they designed a metasurface that uses an array of subwavelength spaced nanopillars to direct light based on its polarization.
The light then forms four images, each one showing a different aspect of the polarization. Taken together, these give a full snapshot of polarization at every pixel.
The researchers tested the camera to show defects in injection-molded plastic objects, took it outside to film the polarization off car windshields and even took selfies to demonstrate how a polarization camera can visualize the 3D contours of a face.
Federico Capasso, the Robert L. Wallace Professor of Applied Physics and Vinton Hayes Senior Research Fellow in Electrical Engineering at SEAS, said, "This research is game-changing for imaging. Most cameras can typically only detect the intensity and color of light but can't see polarization. This camera is a new eye on reality, allowing us to reveal how light is reflected and transmitted by the world around us."
"This research opens an exciting new direction for camera technology with unprecedented compactness, allowing us to envision applications in atmospheric science, remote sensing, facial recognition, machine vision, and more."
Noah Rubin, first author of the paper and graduate student in the Capasso Lab said, "This technology could be integrated into existing imaging systems, such as the one in your cell phone or car, enabling the widespread adoption of polarization imaging and new applications previously unforeseen."
The research is published in Science.

Planet found in habitable zone around nearest star
Astronomers using ESO telescopes and other facilities have found clear evidence of a planet orbiting the closest star to Earth, Proxima Centauri. The long-sought world, designated Proxima b, orbits its cool red parent star every 11 days and has a temperature suitable for liquid water to exist on its surface. This rocky world is a little more massive than the Earth and is the closest exoplanet to us -- and it may also be the closest possible abode for life outside the Solar System. A paper describing this milestone finding will be published in the journal Nature on 25 August 2016.
Just over four light-years from the Solar System lies a red dwarf star that has been named Proxima Centauri as it is the closest star to Earth apart from the Sun. This cool star in the constellation of Centaurus is too faint to be seen with the unaided eye and lies near to the much brighter pair of stars known as Alpha Centauri AB.
During the first half of 2016 Proxima Centauri was regularly observed with the HARPS spectrograph on the ESO 3.6-metre telescope at La Silla in Chile and simultaneously monitored by other telescopes around the world [1]. This was the Pale Red Dot campaign, in which a team of astronomers led by Guillem Anglada-Escudé, from Queen Mary University of London, was looking for the tiny back and forth wobble of the star that would be caused by the gravitational pull of a possible orbiting planet [2].
As this was a topic with very wide public interest, the progress of the campaign between mid-January and April 2016 was shared publicly as it happened on the Pale Red Dot website and via social media. The reports were accompanied by numerous outreach articles written by specialists around the world.
Guillem Anglada-Escudé explains the background to this unique search: "The first hints of a possible planet were spotted back in 2013, but the detection was not convincing. Since then we have worked hard to get further observations off the ground with help from ESO and others. The recent Pale Red Dot campaign has been about two years in the planning."
The Pale Red Dot data, when combined with earlier observations made at ESO observatories and elsewhere, revealed the clear signal of a truly exciting result. At times Proxima Centauri is approaching Earth at about 5 kilometres per hour -- normal human walking pace -- and at times receding at the same speed. This regular pattern of changing radial velocities repeats with a period of 11.2 days. Careful analysis of the resulting tiny Doppler shifts showed that they indicated the presence of a planet with a mass at least 1.3 times that of the Earth, orbiting about 7 million kilometres from Proxima Centauri -- only 5% of the Earth-Sun distance [3].
Guillem Anglada-Escudé comments on the excitement of the last few months: "I kept checking the consistency of the signal every single day during the 60 nights of the Pale Red Dot campaign. The first 10 were promising, the first 20 were consistent with expectations, and at 30 days the result was pretty much definitive, so we started drafting the paper!"
Red dwarfs like Proxima Centauri are active stars and can vary in ways that would mimic the presence of a planet. To exclude this possibility the team also monitored the changing brightness of the star very carefully during the campaign using the ASH2 telescope at the San Pedro de Atacama Celestial Explorations Observatory in Chile and the Las Cumbres Observatory telescope network. Radial velocity data taken when the star was flaring were excluded from the final analysis.
Although Proxima b orbits much closer to its star than Mercury does to the Sun in the Solar System, the star itself is far fainter than the Sun. As a result Proxima b lies well within the habitable zone around the star and has an estimated surface temperature that would allow the presence of liquid water. Despite the temperate orbit of Proxima b, the conditions on the surface may be strongly affected by the ultraviolet and X-ray flares from the star -- far more intense than the Earth experiences from the Sun [4].
Two separate papers discuss the habitability of Proxima b and its climate. They find that the existence of liquid water on the planet today cannot be ruled out and, in such case, it may be present over the surface of the planet only in the sunniest regions, either in an area in the hemisphere of the planet facing the star (synchronous rotation) or in a tropical belt (3:2 resonance rotation). Proxima b's rotation, the strong radiation from its star and the formation history of the planet makes its climate quite different from that of the Earth, and it is unlikely that Proxima b has seasons.
This discovery will be the beginning of extensive further observations, both with current instruments [5] and with the next generation of giant telescopes such as the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT). Proxima b will be a prime target for the hunt for evidence of life elsewhere in the Universe. Indeed, the Alpha Centauri system is also the target of humankind's first attempt to travel to another star system, the StarShot project.
Guillem Anglada-Escudé concludes: "Many exoplanets have been found and many more will be found, but searching for the closest potential Earth-analogue and succeeding has been the experience of a lifetime for all of us. Many people's stories and efforts have converged on this discovery. The result is also a tribute to all of them. The search for life on Proxima b comes next..."
[1] Besides data from the recent Pale Red Dot campaign, the paper incorporates contributions from scientists who have been observing Proxima Centauri for many years. These include members of the original UVES/ESO M-dwarf programme (Martin Kürster and Michael Endl), and exoplanet search pioneers such as R. Paul Butler. Public observations from the HARPS/Geneva team obtained over many years were also included.
[2] The name Pale Red Dot reflects Carl Sagan's famous reference to the Earth as a pale blue dot. As Proxima Centauri is a red dwarf star it will bathe its orbiting planet in a pale red glow.
[3] The detection reported today has been technically possible for the last 10 years. In fact, signals with smaller amplitudes have been detected previously. However, stars are not smooth balls of gas and Proxima Centauri is an active star. The robust detection of Proxima b has only been possible after reaching a detailed understanding of how the star changes on timescales from minutes to a decade, and monitoring its brightness with photometric telescopes.
[4] The actual suitability of this kind of planet to support water and Earth-like life is a matter of intense but mostly theoretical debate. Major concerns that count against the presence of life are related to the closeness of the star. For example gravitational forces probably lock the same side of the planet in perpetual daylight, while the other side is in perpetual night. The planet's atmosphere might also slowly be evaporating or have more complex chemistry than Earth's due to stronger ultraviolet and X-ray radiation, especially during the first billion years of the star's life. However, none of the arguments has been proven conclusively and they are unlikely to be settled without direct observational evidence and characterisation of the planet's atmosphere. Similar factors apply to the planets recently found around TRAPPIST-1.
[5] Some methods to study a planet's atmosphere depend on it passing in front of its star and the starlight passing through the atmosphere on its way to Earth. Currently there is no evidence that Proxima b transits across the disc of its parent star, and the chances of this happening seem small, but further observations to check this possibility are in progress.
This research is presented in a paper entitled "A terrestrial planet candidate in a temperate orbit around Proxima Centauri", by G. Anglada-Escudé et al., to appear in the journal Nature on 25 August 2016.

ESO is the foremost intergovernmental astronomy organisation in Europe and the world's most productive ground-based astronomical observatory by far. It is supported by 16 countries: Austria, Belgium, Brazil, the Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Finland, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, along with the host state of Chile. ESO carries out an ambitious programme focused on the design, construction and operation of powerful ground-based observing facilities enabling astronomers to make important scientific discoveries. ESO also plays a leading role in promoting and organising cooperation in astronomical research. ESO operates three unique world-class observing sites in Chile: La Silla, Paranal and Chajnantor. At Paranal, ESO operates the Very Large Telescope, the world's most advanced visible-light astronomical observatory and two survey telescopes. VISTA works in the infrared and is the world's largest survey telescope and the VLT Survey Telescope is the largest telescope designed to exclusively survey the skies in visible light. ESO is a major partner in ALMA, the largest astronomical project in existence. And on Cerro Armazones, close to Paranal, ESO is building the 39-metre European Extremely Large Telescope, the E-ELT, which will become "the world's biggest eye on the sky".

Friedrich Otto Hultsch (* 22. Juli 1833 in Dresden; † 6. April 1906 ebenda) war ein deutscher Klassischer Philologe und Mathematikhistoriker.

Leben

Nach dem Besuch der Dresdner Kreuzschule studierte Friedrich Hultsch von 1851 bis 1855 in Leipzig Klassische Philologie. Einem Probejahr an der Kreuzschule folgte 1857 die Anstellung als 2. Adjunkt an der Nikolaischule in Leipzig. Im Jahr darauf wurde er Lehrer am Zwickauer Gymnasium und 1861 trat er erneut in den Dienst der Kreuzschule, die er von 1868 bis zu seiner Pensionierung 1889 als Rektor leitete. Von 1879 bis 1882 leitete er außerdem das neu gegründete Wettiner Gymnasium.

Hultsch hat sich vorzugsweise um die Historische Metrologie und die Textkritik der antiken Mathematiker verdient gemacht. Seine Hauptwerke sind: Griechische und römische Metrologie (Berlin 1862; die zweite Auflage, erschienen 1882 in Berlin, ist wesentlich erweitert) und die Ausgabe der Scriptores metrologici graeci et romani (Leipzig 1864–1866, 2 Bände); ferner die kritischen Bearbeitungen der Geometrie und Stereometrie des Heron (Berlin 1864), der mathematischen Sammlung des Pappos (Berlin 1875–1878, 3 Bände) und der Schriften des Autolykos von Pitane über die sich bewegende Sphäre und den Auf- und Untergang der Fixsterne (Leipzig 1885). Außerdem lieferte er Textausgaben des Werkes De die natali von Censorinus (Leipzig 1867) und des Geschichtswerkes des Polybios (Berlin 1867–1872, 4 Bände).

Er schrieb viele Artikel über griechische Mathematiker im Pauly-Wissowa (z. B. Archimedes, Euklid).

Hultsch verstarb 1906 in Dresden und wurde auf dem Trinitatisfriedhof beigesetzt. Er war Mitglied der Sächsischen Gesellschaft der Wissenschaften zu Leipzig (1885) und korrespondierendes Mitglied der Gesellschaft der Wissenschaften zu Göttingen.

Kicking off EAA AirVenture Monday morning at 8:00 AM with the ceremonial opening of the fuselage and wing crates, the "One Week Wonder" project to build an RV-12iS in six and a half days breathed life.
Led by Scott McDaniels, the Van's Aircraft "Build Team" included leaders Davis Payton, Ed Chesney, Ryan Jandrow and Tony Kirk. The team commenced assembly, working consecutive four-hour shifts with volunteer assistants in front of a constant stream of airshow attendees throughout the week. By the time Friday rolled around, the goal of taxiing on Sunday was nearly assured and the pressure and tension began to ease.
DAR Joe Norris arrived Sunday morning to perform a thorough inspection of the airframe, flight controls and all systems before his stamp of approval was proffered. After an arduous 6.5 days of construction, N2018 was issued its airworthiness certificate. Empty weight came in at 767 lbs. with the CG calculated to be well within design limits. With an hour to spare, the RV-12iS was then repositioned to the flight line via Celebration Way, where it calmly waited in the shadow of a C-5's tail for the highly-anticipated victory taxi. With Scott McDaniels at the controls and Van proudly waving to the crowd in triumph, the aircraft taxied in front of the air show attendees, and the embodiment of cooperation and collaboration which is the true spirit of the EAA was on display. Only in togetherness could the realization of this dream have become a reality.
After the AirVenture masses had departed for home and the few remaining service items were checked off, the first flight was successfully made by Vic Syracuse on Monday evening (7/30/18).
Please enjoy these videos showing the build, the crowd and the first flight of N2018, the One Week Wonder RV-12iS!
At Van's Aircraft we could not be any more proud of our crew, which embraced the challenge and conquered the difficulties involved in making the "One Week Wonder" the wondrous experience it truly was.

Late Kentucky diocesan editor remembered for his talent, wit, faith
Tom Shaughnessy, who served the Diocese of Lexington, Kentucky, as communications director and as the second editor of Cross Roads from 1992-2018, died in Nashville on Nov. 13, 2020, at age 58 following a brief illness. He is pictured in an undated photo. CNS photo/Cindy Olson, courtesy Cross Roads Diocesan Magazine
Tom Shaughnessy, a former assistant editor of the Tennessee Register who served the Diocese of Lexington as communications director and as the second editor of its Cross Roads publication from 1992-2018, died Nov. 13 in Nashville, Tennessee, following a brief illness. He was 58.
A funeral service for him and a proper Irish wake will be held after public health restrictions in place because of COVID-19 are lifted.
Lexington Bishop John E. Stowe celebrated a memorial Mass for him Nov. 20 that was broadcast via Zoom from Lexington's Catholic Center.
"He often joked that the communications department was a pirate ship, sailing alongside the barque of Peter to not only protect it, but to nudge it back on course when it seemed to veer," Deacon Skip Olson, who worked closely with Shaughnessy for nearly a decade, said in a homily at the Mass.
Deacon Olson remembered Shaughnessy as a man of true faith. "Look at his career. Tom could've continued to work in the secular press in Nashville or even bigger markets. … But he wanted to invest the gifts God gave him in the mission of the Church. So nearly 30 years ago, in a leap of faith, he put those gifts into action here, in the fledgling Diocese of Lexington."
Shaughnessy's tenure spanned much of diocese's existence since St. John Paul II established the eastern Kentucky diocese on Jan. 14, 1988.
Thomas Francis Shaughnessy was born in Chicago, the second of three boys born to Robert Henry Shaughnessy and Patricia Houlihan Shaughnessy.
He moved to Nashville with his family in 1974 and graduated from Father Ryan High School in 1980 and from the University of Notre Dame, where he studied English and boxed, in 1984. He began his career as a reporter for the Tennessee Register, the Nashville diocesan newspaper.
Tony Spence, former editor of the Tennessee Register, later president of the Catholic Press Association and director and editor-in-chief of Catholic News Service, knew Shaughnessy as a friend and colleague.
"His copy was always erudite and crisp. His wordsmithing really shone when he did commentary on events or slice-of-life pieces," Spence told Cross Roads.
When the diocesan editor position in Lexington came open, longtime Cross Roads contributor Margaret Gabriel mentioned the job in passing to Spence, who said he "encouraged Tom to throw his name in the hat for the editor post."
"It never occurred to me that Tom might be our man, but Tony knew that Tom was ripe for a new challenge," said Gabriel, who already knew Shaughnessy through their membership in the CPA.
"I worked with Tom about 17 years when he was editor. I found him to be open to ideas for stories, always kind and thoughtful, humble," said Cross Roads contributor Linda Harvey, who noted that Shaughnessy helped her to grow as a writer and to "have the best interests of our Church as paramount."
Cross Roads won 13 Catholic Press Association awards during Shaughnessy's tenure as editor. For a time, he also hosted a weekly radio show called "Catholic Roundtable." He also traveled with diocesan groups to Italy, Greece, Ireland and Israel, and participated in trips to Haiti and Nicaragua to build housing for rural residents.
"I am thankful to have experienced his great Irish humor laced with irony and dry, wry wit," said Deacon Jim Paris, who was Shaughnessy's supervisor from 1999-2012. "He was loaded with a talent for writing and he required no advice from me when it came to journalism. He was a die-hard, old-fashioned journalist who refused to trade in his 35mm film camera for a digital one."
In 2018, Shaughnessy's father had a stroke and could no longer care for his mother, who had dementia. So he took early retirement from the Lexington Diocese to move back to Nashville and care for his parents, allowing them to spend the final months before their deaths in the home they loved.
All the while, he worked as a freelancer writing for various Catholic and community publications.
"He was a terrific writer from the very beginning of his career to the end. And he was as well-read as anyone I know," said Spence. "Without a doubt there was a great Irish-American novel brewing in his head. It is a shame his life was cut too short for it to get out."
Deacon Olson called him "a loyal friend who really would give anyone the shirt off his back – as wrinkled as it might be. He didn't talk about himself much; his faith – his loyalty – did most of the talking."
Shaughnessy is survived by a son, Maximilian Shaughnessy (Carly), and granddaughters Katheryn, McKenzie and Kailey of Richmond, Kentucky; his brothers Robert Shaughnessy (Susan) of Washington and Christopher Shaughnessy of Lexington; aunts and uncles, cousins, a niece and nephew, and numerous friends.

Countryside Villages offers a calm atmosphere and will appeal to those who enjoy spending time in green spaces. This part of the city is quiet overall, as the streets are generally quite tranquil - however noise can be problematic closer to Highway 410. Lastly, green spaces, including Sesquicentennial Park and Valleylands 766, are very well-located and there are a few of them close by for residents to discover, which makes them easy to access.
Countryside Villages is especially car friendly. It is very convenient to park, and it is a rather short car ride to the nearest highway, such as Highway 410, from anywhere in this neighbourhood. However, public transit users may find few options in Countryside Villages by reason of the service's low frequency. Thankfully, homeowners are served by a few bus lines, and most properties are near a bus stop. Walking is not very feasible for home buyers in this part of Brampton because very few daily needs can be carried out on foot. Even though biking is better in some areas than others, this part of the city is also not particularly bicycling-friendly because there are a good number of hills for cyclists to brave, and there are few bike lanes.
The housing stock of Countryside Villages is composed primarily of single detached homes and townhouses. This part of the city offers mainly three bedroom and four or more bedroom homes. Homeowners occupy roughly 90% of the properties in Countryside Villages whereas the remainder are rented. This neighbourhood experienced its main building boom after the year 2000, so most of the available housing stock is from this time period.
It is very rarely an option for house buyers in this part of the city to do grocery shopping on foot. Residents of Countryside Villages are served by a few restaurants. Regarding education, this neighbourhood does not contain any high schools or primary schools. Additionally, it can be very hard to get to daycares on foot.

I reviewed Linda MacDonald's novel, Meeting Lydia in October 2011. I identified with lead character Marianne and really enjoyed Linda's writing style so I was delighted when I found out that Marianne's story continued in 2012 with A Meeting of a Different Kind and a final novel Alone Alternative in 2014.
I was intrigued when I heard Linda was releasing Meeting Lydia in audiobook format. How would the written word transfer to the spoken word?
I'll be revealing a new cover alongside my Q&A with Linda MacDonald on 2nd February where Linda reveals how Marianne surprised her, the easiest (and hardest) scene to write, her current work in progress as well as her thoughts on the audio version. Don't miss it!
When Marianne comes home from work one day to find her husband talking to a glamorous woman in the kitchen, insecurities resurface from a time when she was bullied at school. Jealousy rears its head and her marriage begins to fall apart. Desperate for a solution, she finds herself trying to track down her first schoolgirl crush: Edward Harvey. Even thinking his name made her tingle with half-remembered childlike giddiness. Edward Harvey, the only one from Brocklebank to whom she might write if she found him.
Meeting Lydia is a book about childhood bullying, midlife crises, obsession, jealousy and the ever-growing trend of Internet relationships. It will appeal to fans of adult fiction and those interested in the dynamics and psychology of relationships. Author Linda is inspired by Margaret Atwood, Fay Weldon and David Lodge.
Harriet Carmichael is the perfect narrator for Meeting Lydia. Harriet's voice and intonations did not detract from the storytelling. I enjoyed her tone and emphasis which I thought brought the characters to life. I'm a strong visual/spatial learner and even though I find audio alone quite difficult to focus on, I could listen for longer that I thought I would be able to before the outside world distracted me. It was so easy to visual the scenes.
I didn't realise quite how much lead character Marianne impacted on me back in 2011. Despite the intervening years, I remembered the story really well!
Harriet Carmichael combined with the story itself is quite a stunning listen. The audiobook gets the thumbs up from me.
You can read my thoughts on the story in my 2011 review.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
e Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage its exposures to (1) interest rate fluctuations on its floating rate senior debt and (2) fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company measures those instruments at fair value and recognizes changes in the fair value of derivatives in earnings in the period of change, unless the derivative qualifies as an effective hedge that offsets certain exposures.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements - On September 3, 2014, the Company entered into two forward Interest Rate Swap Agreements (the "2014 Swaps") with three-year terms for notional amounts of $90,000 and $40,000. The forward start date of the 2014 Swaps was October 1, 2015 and the termination date is September 30, 2018. The 2014 Swaps fix the interest rate at 2.2% plus the applicable interest rate margin of 3.5% and the effective rate of 5.7%.
The total fair value of the interest rate swaps was $1,858 as of December 31, 2016 and was reported on the consolidated balance sheet in other non-current liabilities with an increase other income/expense recorded in the statement of comprehensive loss for the favorable change of $706 in fair value since December 31, 2015.
The total fair value of the interest rate swaps was $2,564 as of December 31, 2015 and was reported on the consolidated balance sheet in other non-current liabilities with an increase in other income/expense recorded in the statement of comprehensive loss for the unfavorable change of $1,629 in fair value since December 31, 2014.
The Company's interest rate swap agreements did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment because they did not meet the provisions specified in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815").
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts - During 2014, 2015, and 2016, the Company entered into multiple foreign currency forward contracts. The table below summarizes the maturity dates and the fixed exchange rates of the contracts.
2016 FX Contracts
Maturity date range:
February 2015 to December 2016
March 2014 to December 2015
Fixed exchange rate range:
1.2536 to 1.3458
The purpose of the Company's foreign currency forward contracts is to manage the Company's exposure to fluctuations in the exchange rate of the Canadian dollar.
The total notional amount of contracts outstanding was C$29,887 and C$37,886 as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The total fair value of the FX Contracts was $616 and $1,695 as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, and was reported on the consolidated balance sheet in other current assets. An increase in other income of $1,587 and $4,196 was recorded in the statement of comprehensive loss for the favorable change in fair value during year ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.
The Company's FX Contracts did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment because they did not meet the provisions specified in ASC 815. Accordingly, the gain or loss on these derivatives was recognized in current earnings.
The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes and, therefore, holds no derivative instruments for trading purposes.
Additional information with respect to the fair value of derivative instruments is included in Note 12 - Fair Value Measurements.

It wasn't one play Friday night that turned around Northville's football fortunes against host Livonia Stevenson.
Instead, it may have been one kick that may have swayed the outcome of the game in a battle of unbeatens.
Jake Moody's 50-yard field goal on the first play of the second quarter proved to be pivotal as the Mustangs went on a 24-point run to erase a 14-0 deficit and earn their 12th playoff berth in school history with a 24-14 victory over the Spartans.
Moody's boot, believed to be close to a school-record, was a no-doubter as a strong wind toward the south end of the field helped push his attempt well beyond the crossbar and through the uprights.
And there was no hesitation on Northville coach Matt Ladach's part to send Moody out for the attempt.
The kick literally kick-started the Mustangs, who went on to score the next 21 while locking up their sixth playoff berth in the past seven years.
Stevenson (5-1, 3-1) came out of the gate like world-beaters, taking just three plays to score on the game's opening possession as senior Austin Petrie, who ran wild in last year's 46-21 win over Northville, knifed his way up the middle for 34 yards and a touchdown with 10:42 left.
On the Spartans' next series, they took less than two minutes to score going 58 yards in eight plays capped by pitch-out to Frank Carlin, who leaped his way through a sea of Northville tacklers and into the end zone from 17 yards out with 5:50 left to make it 14-0 (following Ian Henzi's PAT).
Northville then got the ball back after a Stevenson three-and-out and drove to the Mustangs' 16, only to be stopped on fourth-and-one when senior Justin Zimbo was denied on a quarterback sneak with 6:34 left.
But for the second straight possession, Stevenson went three-and-out and Northville drove into the red zone again, converting this time when Zimbo ran for a 4-yard TD with 2:27 left. Moody's PAT was good, cutting the deficit to 14-10. The drive, helped by a Stevenson personal foul, went 54 yards in eight plays.
The Mustangs scored again to lead 17-14 with just 24 seconds until half on Zach Prystash's 8-yard TD run, which was set up by Zimbo's 44-yard middle screen to T.J. Cunningham down to the Spartans' 8.
The Mustangs then drove 61 yards to the Stevenson 5 to open the third quarter, only to turn it over on a fumble that was recovered by the Spartans' Joshua Page with 7:40 left.
And the Spartans took the ball over at midfield, but Petrie was stopped short of a first down on fourth-and-2 with 3:45 to play as Michael Minick and Jacob Randall combined to make the tackle.
Taking advantage of the short field, Northville took nine plays to score on a Zimbo 13-yard keeper up the middle on the first play of the final period. Moody's point-after made it 24-14 with 11:55 left in the game.
Northville junior defensive back Jack Burke then put the game away with an interception at his own 40 with 2:18 remaining.
The Mustangs limited Petrie to 101 yards on 17 carries, while junior quarterback Chris Tanderys was 10-of-18 for 61 yards.
In total, Stevenson had just 233 totals yards to Northville's 350.
Sparking the Northville defense was Nicholas Wilds, who was in on nine tackles, along with Alec Coppock and Zachary Bates (eight each).
Zimbo, who sat out Northville's previous win against Salem with a leg injury, returned to the starting lineup and enjoyed another big night finishing with a game-high 148 yards on 20 carries to go along with 6-of-9 passing for another 102 yards.
Northville also dominated time of possession 31:47 to 16:13 and went 7-for-12 on third down conversions with Zimbo, Prystash (12-for-59) and Adam Ghabra (7-for-27) carrying a majority of the load.
Micallef, meanwhile, said Moody's kick definitely had an effect on the final outcome.
And Moody has proven to be an effective piece for Northville's special teams unit.
Northville closes out the KLAA Central portion of its schedule Friday, Oct. 9 at Novi.

AdvisorClarity-The Blog Absolute Return Funds
Home/AdvisorClarity-The Blog Absolute Return Funds
News and Commentary for Sophisticated Financial Advisors
Saw anarticleon , about absolute return funds. The premise of the story is that Absolute Return does not describe a strategy so much as a desired outcome. This makes comparing funds difficult. What the heck, lets give it a go anyway.
First, a li8ttle ground work. Absolute return strategies are common in the hedge fund arena, describing funds that attempt to provide a positive return each month. Most of the strategies are either arbitrage or market neutral in their approach. (There are some funds investing in illiquid assets calling themselves absolute return, but the illiquidity masks the volatility of the asset values.) These strategies rely on techniques that greatly reduce the risks associated with specific market exposure. Portfolios tend to have roughly equal long and short exposures.
I ran a screen on Morningstars Principia product, seeking funds in the Morningstar categories Market Neutral and Long-Short. We searched for distinct portfolios only that had started operations before January 1, 2008, and had a= 3-year annualized return through March 31, 2011 greater than 0%. The screen returned 24 funds.
Since we are looking for returns that are not correlated with any markets, I checked the Best Fit R-Squared and found five funds with a score below 30. One was closed and one showed no assets (?). One has very relatively volatile returns. The two remaining look interesting.
JP Morgan Research Market Neutral(JMNAX, Cl A) is managed by JP Morgan in a market- and sector- neutral strategy. Through March 21, 2011, it has a 3-year annualized return of 2.20% including -1.06% in 2008. Its best Fit R-Square is 8. It has an expense ratio of 1.50% (capped until 2/29/2012).
Managers AMG FQ Global Alternatives(MGAAX, Cl A) is managed by First Quadrant L.P. in a quantitative strategy that seeks to remain neutral across markets, sectors, and currencies. The fund returned 1.16% annualized for the 3 years ending March 31, 2011, including 4.84% in 2008. It has a Bet Fit R-Squared of 22w and an expense ratio of 1.99% (capped until 3/31/2012).
These two funds are available in multiple shares classes, so an advisor should be able to find the fund that meets the all client goals. Either fund should provide some dampening of capital volatility while producing a return well in excess of cash equivalents.

SCOTTSDALE, AZ -- (MARKET WIRE) -- April 5, 2007 -- 4020 Scottsdale Old Town Lofts, a "vintage building meets modern luxury living project" in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale, has released details for its initial offering of 21 luxurious, boutique lofts located directly above upscale retail shops. Construction is expected to begin at the end of April, with a scheduled completion date of December 2007.
These lavish lofts and chic retail spaces were designed by Architekton of Tempe, and the Richardson Design Group of Salt Lake City. The lofts are being crafted from the existing three-story commercial building by Red Mountain Retail Group, Inc. (www.redmountainretailgroup.com), a development company headquartered in Santa Ana, California.
Located on the northwest corner of Scottsdale Road and 1st Avenue, Scottsdale Lofts are in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale, a historic atmosphere with modern amenities. An eclectic mix of southwestern and contemporary art galleries, specialty retail, upscale dining, and an active nightlife are all located within a short walking distance of the lofts. The new Waterfront development and Scottsdale Fashion Square are also within a short strolling distance.
"We're excited about this mixed-use project and delighted to have found this unbelievable location in Old Town Scottsdale," said Michael Mugel, CEO of Red Mountain Retail Group. "People from all over the world come to Scottsdale -- and especially Old Town -- for the galleries, shopping and night life. Now they can own a home in the heart of this unique mix of the Old West and modern urban lifestyle. This is the first true 'loft conversion project' taking an existing commercial building and converting it to residential in Scottsdale and we are thrilled to offer this opportunity to potential home owners and retailers."
These well-appointed residences will range in size from approximately 800 square feet to over 1,200 square feet and will feature oversized balconies for the creation of an outdoor living space. Some units will feature rooftop terraces on the third floor with views of Old Town and Camelback Mountain. Interior finishes of the lofts will be upscale contemporary, featuring high volume ceilings, individual gas heat and air conditioning, professional quality stainless steel kitchens with designer cabinets, and granite countertop options. All Master suites include walk-in closets. Prices start from the low $400,000 range.
Scottsdale Lofts are located within a three mile radius from the Phoenician Golf Resort and 1,000 new multi-unit urban residences recently completed or in development.

Here is a re-worked version of another unraveling video. The title, We End As We Begin, comes from a song called 'the knitters' from composer/pianist Fred Hersch's performance called My Coma Dreams, about a dream he had while in a coma about knitters. I just went and saw a screening/discussion about his piece at Yerba Buena. I submitted this video to a gallery for a juried show; we'll see!
Photos to come of the book store window display installation I finished last week. In other news, I sold two seam drawings (of the group pictured in the last posting). Its so exciting to have other people interested in what I am doing to the point of wanting to look at it every day. I feel very supported!

Family Circle recently named Evans, a suburb of the Greater Augusta area, as one of the Best Towns for Families in the country, while CNN/Money Magazine consistently ranks Augusta as one of the Top 100 Places to Live in the country. We have a great economy, reasonably priced housing, friendly people and a mild climate most all year long.
I typically spend 7 days a week working my real estate business, but every once in a while, Dan and I will take a few days to decompress and go to the beach, to the casinos in Biloxi, or up North to visit family.

It has been said that the strongest writing comes from people who write about what they know.
A recently released book, with essays written by experienced shelter managers from across the country, addresses the future of the homeless shelter in Canada.
According to promotional material, the book's contributors have years of experience understanding the causes of and solutions to homelessness and the role that shelters can play in achieving their ultimate goal — the elimination of all forms of homelessness in Canada.
Corner Brook's Willow House executive director, Heather Davis, wrote a chapter in the book.
Davis has a master's degree in sociology from the University of Guelph.
In "Beyond Shelters – Solutions to Homelessness in Canada from the Front Lines," she gives her thoughts on how to limit harm to women in Canadian shelters, drawing from her experience working in the community.
Davis said the opportunity to write a chapter for the book came about through the Transition House Association of Newfoundland and Labrador (THANL).
Others working in the area of homelessness provided information for her to write her chapter, Davis said during a recent phone interview.
"It was about documenting our history as women's shelters in our province, as part of this national landscape of shelter work in the broader scheme... shelters that are emerging... men's shelters, or homeless shelters. We wanted to have representation as women's shelters included in that conversation," she said.
St. John's was the first to establish a transition house in this province. Iris Kirby House (IKH) opened in 1981.
Today, there are 12 transition houses in Newfoundland and Labrador, including Willow House. Since opening its doors 35 years ago, Davis said Corner Brook's domestic violence shelter has housed approximately 6,500 women and children.
Transition houses are much more than having a place to sleep, she said.
They provide other essential services for women and children escaping violence including transportation to the shelter, basic necessities such as food and hygiene products, safety planning, supportive counselling, assistance with applications to legal aid, financial supports for public housing and advocacy for the needs of women and their families.
"Beyond Shelters" (published by Lorimer Books) discusses such options as Housing First programs, hub models and culturally-specific programs. The book also offers insight into how shelters can address drug addiction, domestic violence, poverty and Indigenous issues.
Shelters have changed a great deal over the past 25 years.
Davis said today's shelter workers listen to the women's stories, value their experiences and do their best to learn about their needs so that they can respond to them accordingly.
"Typically, in women's shelters, if you were an active user (of drugs or alcohol)... you weren't able to get a bed in our shelters... We have drug problems and alcohol problems and mental health problems in our communities... there's no way that women who have experienced trauma come through that without those similar problems. We're really trying to do shelter work with women that meets them where they are, in their recovery process," Davis said.
The book's editor James Hughes worked as a senior administrator in social services for more than fifteen years. He served as Director General of the Old Brewery Mission, Quebec's largest centre serving homeless people and was Deputy Minister of Social Development in New Brunswick from 2008 to 2011.
Hughes is the author of "Early Intervention: How Canada's social programs can work better, save lives, and often save money." He now works for the Montreal-based McConnell Foundation.
When asked if there is a way to end homelessness across the country, Davis said, while there isn't a step-by-step program to do so, there are many innovative approaches to help people who find themselves homeless.
First of all, she said, it's important to understand homelessness and how severe it is in Canada.
"Homelessness may look different from place to place... there are some innovative solutions. I think agencies and governments are starting to understand that we need to house people first and a housing first philosophy goes right through the book," she said.
Once someone is safe and secure, with an affordable place to live, she said, they can work on other challenges they are facing in their lives.
Davis said there is a network of agencies ready to help people in crisis. Willow House's 24-hour crisis line is 866-634-4198.

5. Art makes your house a home. Even if it doesn't match your couch!
3. Art can inspire greatness!
2. Supporting artists by purchasing their work keeps service jobs open for teenagers and retirees!
