Children who are raised in religious families turn out to be meaner than their parents, a new international study has claimed.
A report in Current Biology said children from religious households have decreasing altruism.
The report said parents with religious backgrounds would consider their children to be empathetic and have sensitivity for justice in everyday life.
However, it was found that children from religious households had a tendency to correct others.
The report also said religion negatively influenced children's selflessness and challenged the view that religion encouraged people to engage in behavior that benefited others.
In the sample of people in the research, 23.9 percent identified as Christian, 43 percent as Muslim, 27.6 percent as not religious, 2.5 percent as Jewish, 1.6 percent as Buddhist, 0.4 percent as Hindu, 0.2 percent as agnostic and 0.5 percent as other.
Study author Professor Jean Decety said findings contradicted popular assumptions that children from religious households were more altruistic and kind to others.
"In our study, kids from atheist and non-religious families were, in fact, more generous," Decety said.
The report, which comes out of the University of Chicago, also found children from religious backgrounds preferred harsher punishments for bad behavior and judged people more for acting up than non-religious children.
The research called for parents to complete surveys about their religious beliefs and perceptions of their children's empathy and sensitivity to justice.
Children were also measured on their moral sensitivity through cartoons in which one character would push or bump another purposely or accidentally.
The youngsters were then measured on their reaction when they were asked how mean they thought the action was and what the punishment should be.
Christian Research Association's Rev. Dr. Philip Hughes disputed the claims made in the report.
"Religion is very different and particularly in the United States, it's very different from Australia," he said.
Hughes said there were two types of religion — intrinsic religion, where somebody has made the commitment inside themselves, and extrinsic religion, where people are more focused on the social practices.
He said past studies have found those who fell under extrinsic religion were more judgmental, but intrinsic people were not.
"Religion is something a small minority of Australians take seriously," he said.
"About 16 percent of Australians are involved in religious activities at least once a month.
While Hughes has not done any specific research on children and religion, he strongly believed values of parents would be transferred to their offspring.
"Parents who are from religious backgrounds have higher levels of trust in other people, they have higher levels of altruism in terms of being willing to help other people and they have higher levels of voluntary involvement," he said.
Hughes said that in Australia, those who were religious helped the community more than those who weren't.
"About 28 percent of people who are religious have engaged in three or more hours of volunteer work a week," he claimed.
"That's compared to 13 percent of non-religious people who engage in three or more hours of volunteer work.
Hughes said he did not think Australian children from religious households were less altruistic and more judgmental.
"It's very unlikely," he said.
More than 1,000 children between the ages of 5 and 12 from Canada, China, Jordan, Turkey, the United States and South Africa participated in the study.


WASHINGTON, D.C.—Original, authentic, deep—all adjectives that perfectly describe hip hop artist Santiago. However, along with his originality, the young artist is also a survivor. "I've been around a whole lot of tragedy. I'm a gunshot victim. I was at the wrong place at the wrong time. I've also served time in prison," admitted Santiago. "I have a whole family history of violence. My brother was shot, and he died in the car on the way to the hospital. I have grandfathers and uncles who were kingpins and murdered." Through his music, Santiago hopes to serve as an inspiration for others who've lived a life of tragedy and misfortune. "My goal is to bring us up out of that," explained Santiago. "I want people to know that tomorrow is a new day, and there is a way out of the streets. You just have to be determined, persistent and keep your eyes on your goals." For Santiago's album title, it means much more than just another synonym for gangstas.
"M.A.F.I.A. stands for money and fame in America," explained Santiago. "The first single off the album will be a track called On My Own. It's like a street anthem. It's about whatever I have I got on my own." To learn more about Santiago, check him out on his website by clicking here. You can also find him on Twitter.

Effect smelly chemical compounds on the environmental
in Articles November 27, 2022
Hamida Edan Salman and Inam Joudah Radhi
Department of Chemistry, College of Education for Pure Sciences, University of Karbala, Iraq.
Chemicals with offensive odors can arouse the sense of smell and be either natural or synthetic. Most people can tell the difference between appealing and offensive scents. This review aims to examine these substances' significance and negative effects on the ecosystem.
Keywords: natural chemical, Smelling chemicals, and Odors.
The smelly smell that permeates the industrial and nearby waste processing sites is a constant worry for preserving the environment and, particularly, the quality of life. Membrane-based approaches or processes are effective choices among the various alternatives for eliminating drug residues that cause an unpleasant odor in the air [1]. They are chemical substances, either natural or synthetic, that can arouse the sense of smell. Most people can distinguish between pleasing and offensive scents [2]. The quantity of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released by wood-based panels and other items is a major influence when researching indoor air quality. Even at quantities below the detection limit, VOCs can still cause harm. Figure 1 shows that the smell that the bat emits is a combination of two thiols (compounds with SH groups) [3].
Although the management of plastic trash is moving toward recycling in many nations, figure 2 shows that the melting process used in facilities that utilize this technique for handling plastic waste may release toxicants and irritate the senses [5].
⦁ Compounds that have an unpleasant odor [7]:
⦁ Butanethiol: It is a liquid thiolate-organic sulfur compound with the chemical formula (C4H10S), and it is clear, odorless, and colorless. Due to the presence of this chemical, which is also present in bat secretions and adds odor to domestic gas, there is a stench.
⦁ Cyclo-Octadiene: A compound in organic chemistry that is a member of the unsaturated cyclic compound class. Its symbol is C8H12, and it consists of an octahedron with two double bonds. It is an odorless chemical used in organometallic chemistry with a strongly disagreeable smell.
⦁ Methane-thiol (known as methane thiol): is a colorless organic molecule with the chemical formula CH3SH that has a distinctive dry odor. It is a naturally occurring chemical present in human, animal, and plant tissues, including the brain and blood. Animal feces help remove it from the environment. It is combustible, causes terrible breath and the odor of stomach gas, is utilized in the plastics sector.
⦁ Ammonia (ammonia or ammonia), it is an odorless alkaline gas and has the chemical symbol NH3. Ammonia is lighter than air and has an overpowering smell. Ammonia does not burn in the air but does burn in the presence of oxygen with a feeble yellow flame. Ammonia, which may be produced by distilling coal or other nitrogenous materials, is very soluble in water.
1.2 Elimination of unpleasant odors
1- Get rid of the source of the smell with a deodorizer: Using an enzymatic cleaner designed for this kind of stain, you must first remove the smell's source from the surface where it is hidden.
2- Reduce bad odors: When dealing with stinky automobiles, this approach is less difficult to implement than stain removal and is also risk-free. Certain substances can easily pick up offensive scents if aromatic chemicals readily bond to other molecules. as in utilizing (sodium bicarbonate).
3- Close and isolate it: After cleaning, if the stench persists, evaporate the vinegar and add sufficient carbon. The material or ingredient that causes this stench must be permanently eliminated after these processes. By either employing a gas stopper or removing such objects [8].
1.3 Diseases caused by unpleasant odors:
Unpleasant smells, while not always being the direct cause of negative health impacts, have historically been seen as indications or warning signals of possible hazards to human health. But citizen complaints to public health organizations reveal that scents may not only act as a warning of possible threats but that odor perceptions themselves may induce health issues. Large animal production facilities and wastewater treatment facilities, for instance, can cause unpleasant odors that cause complaints of eye, nose, and throat irritation, headache, diarrhea, hoarseness, sore throat, cough, chest tightness, nasal congestion, palpitations, shortness of breath, stress, sleepiness, and mood changes. [9].
1.3.1 Metabolic disorders:
Metabolic imbalance is another medical problem that results in bad odor emanating from your body. Genetic changes that result in body odor are to blame for this [10]. Your body, breath, and urine all emit exceedingly offensive scents as a result of these many chemical components. Since a result, if you notice a bad smell coming from your breath, body, or urine, you should get a metabolic condition checked for and treated as this will instantly lessen body odor [11].
1.3.2 diabetes:
Body odor is one of the numerous health problems that diabetics encounter, and the source of this is elevated blood glucose levels, which can impair several bodily processes and result in unpleasant body odor [12]. However, if a person with diabetes has diabetic ketoacidosis, their body can release a fruity smell, which is the exact opposite of what you might feel otherwise. As a result, you should tell your doctor about this and get treatment because diabetic ketoacidosis is a complication of life-threatening health [13].

Sydney FC vs Central Coast Mariners: A-League match result
View All Live Comments

N. L. Brattan 53'
19' G. Gallifuoco
K. Barbarouses 5'
New recruit Kosta Barbarouses has booted Sydney FC to their sixth-consecutive A-League win, scoring the decisive goal against the Central Coast Mariners.
After assisting twice in last week's 5-1 win over Brisbane Roar, the All Whites forward made no mistake after receiving a superb cross from right-back Rhyan Grant to put the Sky Blues in front just four minutes into the match.
Once Sydney FC had the lead, they didn't let it go, recording a 1-0 victory.
Sydney FC 1
Central Coast Mariners 0
It's first versus eleventh on the A-League ladder, reigning champions Sydney FC hosting the struggling Central Coast Mariners looking for their sixth win in a row. Join The Roar for live scores from 7:30pm (AEDT).
Seven wins from eight games, an A-League-high 21 goals, the current golden boot leader in Adam le Fondre… yep, Sydney's championship defence is going swimmingly.
Steve Corica's men are flying, five wins on the trot opening up a commanding lead atop the A-League ladder, and their Round 9 performance against Brisbane Roar was arguably their best yet.
A 5-1 drubbing, including a hat-trick to Le Fondre to help him leapfrog Melbourne City's Jamie Maclaren to lead the competition for goals this season, avenged their Round 2 loss to the Roar.
Sitting at the opposite end of the ladder, the Mariners haven't been as bad as their 2-1-4 record suggests – their slump to eleventh is more to do with the fact that, as of the start of the round, they've played two fewer games than the tenth-placed Melbourne Victory.
Their most recent match, a fortnight ago against the Roar, was closer than it appeared, only a five-minute purple patch in the second half costing them points, but against a red-hot Sky Blues outfit, they'll need to improve and drastically.
You simply can't tip against the Sky Blues at the moment – they simply tick too many boxes around the ground. It's hard to see the Mariners even getting close.
Sydney FC 3-0
Can the Mariners knock off the rampaging Sky Blues in the upset of the season? Or will the reigning champs' juggernaut continue to roll on? Tune into The Roar's live coverage of Round 10 of the A-League season from 7:30pm (AEDT), and remember to leave us your thoughts in the comments section below.

I'd wager that the first thing that comes to mind when you think of franchising is some type of food franchise. I do too.
Most of the food franchises that we tend to think of are almost always in the *fast-casual genre. It's a huge business sector.
If you're thinking of becoming the owner of a food franchise, I have a way for you to get a leg up on your search for the right one; become a trend-watcher. For example, did you know that some fast casual franchises are serving, "Mini-treats?" Or, that there's a new type of family demographic that wants some attention?
There are several things that are taking place right now in the food industry that you need to know about before you even start looking at opportunities. Read about them in this *2012 QSR Trends Report.
Today's consumers are time-starved, especially families that have very active children. "Soccer Moms" are a busy bunch; they're always, as my Mom calls it, "Running and chasing." Sometimes, there's just not enough time to go back home to put a full meal together for everyone, which is why fast-casual restaurants are frequented by this demographic.
Consumers are more comfortable spending their money with a known brand, so if you're thinking about investing in a food franchise, having a well-known brand behind you could be a benefit.
As the owner of a food franchise, you can impact your local area in terms of job creation, and tax revenue. There are other opportunities for you to get involved in the community, like sponsoring fund-raising drives for the local schools, and sending unused food items to your local food bank.
As the owner of a food franchise, you'll be putting in extremely long hours, and I can personally attest to that. I was in the food service industry. I started out as a dishwasher at a busy restaurant when I was 14 years old, and stayed in the business for 15 + years. I held numerous positions in restaurant management, and was even a Maître D in Las Vegas. I know what I'm talking about.
As the owner of a food franchise, you're going to be at your business all the time. (At first) Now, if you are looking to become a multi-unit food franchise owner, your role will change. You won't be in one particular location all the time; you'll rotate. You're role will be more of a, "manage the manager" one. You'll also be on the go a lot, scouting out possible new locations as you try to create your little empire. Read what this real-live *multi-unit food franchisee says about the food-service business.
Franchise start-up and ongoing costs for fast casual food franchises can be on the steep side, especially if you want to own more than one. A typical McDonald's franchise costs over $1 million. Jimmy John's start-up costs range from $305,500 – $485,500. (Without the real estate) Maybe you're interested in opening up a more health conscious food franchise like a Saladworks franchise. Your investment will range from $331,102 – $474,527, plus working capital.
Not all food franchises have an investment in the upper-range of the franchise investment scale. For example, if you'd like to own a Subway franchise, you could be closer to $200,000 in total. It depends on the location.
If you're not careful, you could end up becoming the owner of a food franchise that was really, really, popular when you first learned about it, but 6 months into your franchise ownership adventure-isn't. In other words, you bought, "The hottest franchise around" a bit too late. It happens.
Instead of looking for what's "Hot," in franchising, try to become more of a futurist. See if you can anticipate what's coming up the pike. Watch what the big guys are doing. Big name franchises are always testing new products and services out.
Food franchises are here to stay. That's because they help solve one of the biggest challenges facing all of us; a lack of time. Find a business that solves problems, and you could be on your way to business success.


Standup paddling's greatest athletes, philanthropists and filmmakers came together for a historic night with SUP Magazine at the 2014 SUP Awards presented by Tommy Bahama. With hundreds of guests gathered at the Casino in San Clemente, Calif., SUP Magazine and industry pros celebrated the top male and female paddlers, expeditions, philanthropic efforts and films of 2014.
Returning hosts Sam George and Dave Boehne passed out the hardware as California's Izzi Gomez received top honor as Female Paddler of the Year, while Connor Baxter of Maui was awarded Male Paddler of the Year.
"I'm so stoked to be in the situation I am," said Baxter.
Also receiving commendation for their athletic achievements in standup paddling were Nicole Pacelli and Annabel Anderson, who were voted second and third in the women's category, as well as Maui's Kai Lenny and Caio Vaz of Brazil, who came in second and third respectively on the men's side.
"I'm super honored," Pacelli said.
Acknowledging the outstanding young guns breaking into the sport, Fiona Wylde was awarded Female Breakthrough Performance of the Year for her top finishes in SUP racing, while Travis Baptiste took home Male Breakthrough Performance of the Year for his incredible performance at July's Molokai 2 Oahu Paddleboard World Championships.
"This entire group…You all inspire me," Wylde said.
"This means a lot to me," said Baptiste.
"I was not expecting this!" Baxter said.
Will Schmidt's long distance paddle from Canada to Mexico took home the Top Expedition award, while Paddle Second Chance was named Top Philanthropic Effort for its relentless commitment to serving wounded veterans and helping them transition back into civilian life. Filmmaker Brent Deal's "H2MexicO" was also awarded, taking Movie of the Year.
"I'm so happy to be part of this," said Eric Moriarty, a wounded veteran benefitting from Paddle Second Chance.
"I know I wanted to win this award," said Deal on his Movie of the Year award.
The room filled with excitement as legendary surfer Mickey Munoz was presented with the SUP Magazine Lifetime Achievement Award for his tremendous impact on the sport. Munoz's unwavering efforts in supporting the progression of standup paddling are unmatched, as he played a key role in the pioneering and promotion of the sport. The 2014 SUP Awards featured an amazing array of talent and was a memorable night for standup paddling.


This is my oldest son, Vince's, recipe for Loaded Mashed Potatoes and they are truly amazing. We love it when he makes them for our holiday dinners. This is truly an exceptional recipe. He just gave me a taste, and I told him they "tasted like Heaven on a Spoon". I am really grateful that he and my other children like to cook also. It's really fun.
Add potatoes to a large pan or large bowl and add butter, mash with a potato masher.
Then add whipping cream, cream cheese, sour cream cheddar cheese, Cholula, salt and pepper and stir together.
Next, add the bacon and finish stirring.
These Loaded Mashed Potatoes are so delicious. I hope that you like them as much as we do.
These do sound wonderful, and how nice to have you son make them. I can see why you all would like them. The ingredient list is all such good stuff.


Working from life, I create honest and thoughtful studies of the beauty and expression of the human figure. They are direct, often spontaneous observations of our body language and nature as much as an individual's form and features, quickly recorded in oil paints or inks.
I graduated in 2000 with a BA Hons in Furniture and Product Design from Ravensbourne. Alongside a career in design, for fifteen years I have been lucky enough to study life drawing and painting under the watchful eye of artist and RCA fellow Bobby Gill. I still juggle the two disciplines, although art is increasingly my main focus. Challenging my practise through regular observational study is an important part of my work and Bobby's studio in Notting Hill continues to be my favourite place to paint.
I exhibit throughout the year, and for a week in May hold an annual exhibition in Blewbury with fellow artists Yvette Phillips and Eleanor Wong.
Our annual exhibition showcasing new work from the past year, alongside drawings and prints, takes place 11-19 May at The Clubhouse, Boham's Road, Blewbury OX11 9HF. Open daily 10am-6pm. Part of Oxfordshire Artweeks.
I run a regular Life Class in Blewbury which is open to all levels. You can find out more here. I have also taught life drawing to A Level Fine Art and Graphic Design students. If you would like to find out about life classes for your students please do email me. You can also download my Life Class for A Level information here.

Police found shell casings allegedly linking Hernandez to murder
DANIEL LOVERING • REUTERS
Police investigating a murder allegedly committed by former National Football League player Aaron Hernandez found a spent shell casing in a car he rented that had been fired from the same pistol as five empty shells found near the victim's body, according to court documents unsealed on Tuesday.
Hernandez, 23, last month was charged with killing Odin Lloyd, 27, a semi-pro football player, and fired by the New England Patriots football team. He pleaded not guilty to all charges, including five counts related to illegal firearms possession.
The court documents included an autopsy showing that Lloyd had been shot several times and that two projectiles consistent with .45 caliber ammunition were recovered from his body.
At an apartment rented by Hernandez in Franklin, Massachusetts, police discovered five boxes of .45 caliber cartridges, according to the documents.
During an earlier search of Hernandez's home, investigators found an Hungarian rifle with an attached magazine in a black gym bag on the back seat of a Toyota sedan parked in the garage.
They confiscated video footage from the residence that showed two men in the driveway changing their clothes by the car, a silver 2012 Nissan Altima, apparently rented by Hernandez on the night of the murder. Other footage showed three men entering the house.
Prosecutors said Hernandez shot Lloyd execution-style after becoming upset with him days earlier at a Boston nightclub. Lloyd's body was found June 17 in an industrial area near Hernandez's house in North Attleborough, about 40 miles (60 km) south of Boston.
Two other men have been taken into custody in connection with the case. Ernest Wallace, who is suspected of being an "accessory after the fact," turned himself in to police in Miramar, Florida, last month. Another man, Carlos Ortiz, was arrested in Connecticut on charges of being a fugitive from justice.
Before being fired on the day he was arrested and charged, Hernandez had been a rising star in the National Football League, a tight end with a $41 million contract with one of the league's top franchises.

Radiometric reconnaissance in the Garfield and Taylor park quadrangles, Chaffee and Gunnison counties, Colorado
Report concerns work done on behalf of the Division of Raw Materials of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission
By: M.G. Dings and Max Schafer
During the summer of 1952 most of the mines and prospects in the Garfield and Taylor Park quadrangles of west-central Colorado were examined radiometrically by the U. S. Geological Survey to determine the extent, grade, and mode of occurrence of radioactive substances.
The region contains a relatively large number of rock types, chiefly pre-Cambrian schists, gneisses, and granites; large and small isolated areas of sedimentary rocks of Paleozoic and Mesozoic ages; and a great succession of intrusive rocks of Tertiary age that range from andesite to granite and occur as stocks, chonoliths, sills, dikes, and one batholith. The prevailing structures are northwest-trending folds and faults. Ores valued at about $30,000,000 have been produced from this region. Silver, lead, zinc, and gold have accounted for most of this value, but small tonnages of copper, tungsten, and molybdenum have also been produced. The principal ore minerals are sphalerite, silver-bearing galena, cerussite, smithsonite, and gold-bearing pyrite and limonite; they occur chiefly as replacement bodies in limestone and as shoots in pyritic quartz veins.
Anomalous radioactivity is uncommon and the four localities at which it is known are widely separated in space. The uranium content of samples from these localities is low. Brannerite, the only uranium-bearing mineral positively identified in the region, occurs sparingly in a few pegmatites and in one quartz-beryl-pyrite vein. Elsewhere radioactivity is associated with (l) black shale seams in the Manitou dolomite, (2) a quartz-pyrite-molybdenite vein, (3) a narrow border zone of oxidized material surrounding a small lead zinc ore body in the Manitou dolomite along a strong fault zone.

The Cow, The Castle and The Chug…..
A few friends from the 'Peg came over and we hit the Highlands! Following a cardinal rule of blogging, I am going to throw in a personal post here to keep you interested.
Picture it, Dunvegan Castle on the hill and a Highland Cow in the distance, six city slickers getting caught up in the romanticism (not that kind of romanticism) and the history of the Scottish Highlands…..
There once was a lad named Terrence, who challenged an evil ogre Lindsay to a chugging contest. The air was foul that day, but alas it was only Bryan, who, legend had it, was the true cause of the Highland Clearances.
The prize for the winning chugger was the company of three lovely maidens; Kim, Kathy, and Cheryl of Patienceisavirtueville…. the loser, a night in the field with the Hairy Cow.
All in all a grand old holiday!

First Really Wild West Session — After-Action Report →
Notes for the Really Wild West
(Logo by Perram, pistol art by Jacob Blackmon)
I ran my first actual session of my first full Really Wild West campaign, called "Really Wild West: Doomstone"
Here are some notes from that sessions.
The "New Wild": Due to the Ravages of the brief War of the Worlds in early 1890, the lawless West is much more expansive in 1891 than it was just a few years earlier. While major towns exist, and are mostly as controlled and regimented as one would expect, the entire central area of the United States — from the Mississippi River to the Cascade Mountains — is simply not yet back under government control beyond sight of a major settlement. Wherever an army unit or even US Martial circuit patrol happen to be, it's fairly lawful. Some towns, sheriffs, mutual aid societies and land-owners can also enforce rules within their own demesne (which some do fair-mindedly and others… don't).
But the fabric of society has not yet recovered from either the direct effect of being overrun by alien war machines that destroyed entire cities and killed millions, or the psychological effect of learning aliens exist, want us dead, have better technology than Earth, and that often women and children and immigrants were crucial to slowing their advance and evacuating those in their path despite being often discouraged from such roles by society.
From the Mississippi to the Cascades is the New Wild. Stay alert. Be cautious. Strap iron.
East Hudson Fur Trading Company: Multinational trade and mercantile… and banking, private security, espionage, manufacturing, and land exploitation. They actually call one of the services they offer "land exploitation." Had war declared on them by the Lakota for "Crimes Against Man and Nature." Merciless. Efficient. Profitable.
Fonts & Bismark: A powerful "service company," that handles deliveries, finances, and vault storage. Grew out of an adventuring company in the 1840s. Mercenary, but have tight ethics controls on who they work for… but a contract, once signed, is fulfilled.
Sometimes do government work. Sometimes hired to protect against the government.
Lost Walkers: When the Martians realized they were dying off, many hid their machines (mostly tripods, but also some flying machines and digging machines) and mothballed them. The Central Power Core of these machines, once cold, can only be brought back to life with an active Central Core.
Only walkers that were captured during the war without being destroyed, or the first few grabbed when the earliest Martians succumbed to viruses, had their Central Core taken intact and active. Thus these are among the most valued of artifacts. Most are in the hands of national or state governments, with a much smaller number controlled by the rich and powerful (Edison is smugly vocal about having two. Tesla dodges the question when asked. A young Polish scientist studying in Paris, Marie Skłodowska, is warning anyone who will listen not to stand too close to the things.)
When a Lost Walker is found, there is a "Tripod Rush" as people tear it apart for rare elements, crystals, and circuits, and scour the surrounding territory for any other Martian relics. But if anyone ever managed to repair and restart a tripod with a Central Core, it would immediately become a notable regional power.
Newgauge: Even before the War of the Worlds caused technological advancement to explode, most industrially advanced nations were moving to Newgauge trains — massive mass-transit vehicles twenty feet wide, nearly thirty feet tall, with locomotives and cars each up to 150 feet long. Since the war, Newgauge trains have become rolling battleships, each normally equipped with heat-dispensing armor on critical cars, and with at least one Rail Monitor car with artillery and units of troops.
But you absolutely cannot run Newgauge trains without building entirely-new tracks. While in the densely-populated Northeast and West Coast, that has been done extensively enough to least linked the biggest cities, the Martians did enough damage to the central parts of the country that even old rails are no longer properly transcontinental, and no Newgauge rails to speak of have yet been laid down… or even surveyed to accommodate the additional massive easement needs. Thus smaller "Old Rail" trains must be used, and occasionally have to fend for themselves between cities.
Old No. 7: An 'Old Rail' train with variable-gauge axles, Old No. 7 is a more-than 50-year-old 4-4-0 locomotive and its associated cars that was pressed into service as a military transport during the War of the Worlds (and armored, and equipped with an automaton-operated Combat Caboose with Rail Repair devices), survived numerous hits from Heat Rays and, despite showing buckled plates and grime-caked engine, remains a mobile defensive platform. Its normal run its along an exiting Old Gauge Line from St. Louis to Colby, Kansas and then to Cheyenne, Wy, and then return.
Trustee: The Really Wild West is a world where heroes, monsters, oracles, madmen, and adventurers have existed for thousands of years. Nations, towns, organizations, and businesses have evolved to deal with the fact that sometimes if a wandering hero or expert doesn't save you, no one else can.
Thus it is common for individuals and small bands to be on a path to be considered "trustees" of groups and governments. These are outsiders who have earned the trust of a government or organization of note. Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson are trustees of Scotland Yard. The Spectral Rider is a trustee of the town of Eagle Net, New Mexico. The Kestrel is a trustee of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, and so on.
Bigger organizations have numerous steps of trust that occur before you are a trustee, but a trustee is generally considered to be competent, potent, trusted, and an ally of the group that names them trustee. A trustee does not necessarily agree with all actions of the bestowing group, and individual members of the group might mistrust the trustee (think of Batman as a trustee of Gotham PD), but the organization as a whole formally cuts the trustee considerable slack.

I worry about the toll its takes on early childhood teachers, but schoolteachers and principals as well. They wonder if their school's still going to be there in a few years.
Wendy Baldwin has children in her care who have no idea what rain is. She knows of toddlers living on farms who've outgrown mud boots that have never been worn.
"We were talking about Pepper Pig the other day, and jumping in puddles, and one of the children asked what that was," Wendy said.
"It sprinkled for a few moments the other day. A two and half year old boy asked me 'what's that'."
For 27 years Wendy has been a teacher for Gwydir Mobile Children's Service, based in Moree.
She's part of a team of two teachers and nine educators who travel 1000kms in two Land Cruisers each week taking the mobile preschool service to remote farming communities.
Hosted in schools, community halls and tennis clubs, the preschool is a lifeline for isolated families struggling with drought and never ending dust storms.
But Wendy has concerns for the service's future. As families give up and leave the land, attendance is dwindling, and she fears the Department of Education might cut funding.
This would be a mental health disaster, Wendy said, as the service is often the last port of call for the suicidal.
Wendy said she has a number of families who she is "watching very carefully" because of suicide risk.
She has no training in dealing with such issues. "I have been through seven droughts, so I have some skills. But I worry about other teachers out there in mobile service.
"Early childhood teachers are part of the community; they are farmers themselves. Teachers often feel responsible for the whole family, they take on the worry, the guilt. My advice is not to try and take on everyone's problems."
Wendy would like to see the IEU introduce more mental health support for its members in rural and regional areas, in the form of online training on self-care and mental health.
Wendy said city based people have trouble understanding what it is like to live with years of drought and dust, and advice such as 'take a break' does not cut it.
"How do you take a break when you're hand feeding lambs? There is no escaping this. Every day you wake up and it hasn't rained. Everybody is just busted. They shrink into themselves, away from each other, their kids."
In order to get people reconnecting, the service has organised teddy bears' picnics, concerts, working bees and talks to try and get people off the farm. They organised Peter Greste, the journalist, to give a talk recently.
"It was great because people started talking about politics and other countries instead of the drought for once," Wendy said.
Many families who have been on the land for several generations have left because of mental health pressures. Wendy said the physical and mental health problems from the current drought will resonate for years.
"We've been breathing in dust for two years. It's a fine layer on your skin, clothes, house. The Land Cruisers break down. The optician told me 50% of his work is clearing dust out of people's eyes. I reckon we'll be hearing about lung cancers in a few years' time.
"The mums are being broken apart losing their gardens. It's all they have. The plants are dying due to lack of water and starving kangaroos eat them. The school where we meet has a small garden, and it's covered in kangaroo droppings because they come in every night trying to find food and water.
"The kids are bathing in bore water which is bad for the skin. I was talking to the other mobile service out west and she said after years of teaching the kids healthy habits, they've had to start giving them cordial because the water tastes so bad.
"One day people are going to look back at this and fall over in a screaming heap."
Despite the tragedy, Wendy is optimistic about the future of her community, and believes it will bounce back.
"I get angry when I hear talk on the ABC about farmers needing to adapt. Farmers do nothing but adapt and have been adapting for 50 years. As soon as it rains we are ready, we know exactly what to plant and when.
"When it's a good season it makes you weep at how spectacular it is. You drive through paddocks of wheat knowing that it will feed people in Iraq, England, Africa. It's a privilege to be part of that. When the sunflowers are high against the blue sky and the grass is up to the cattle's bellies, it's breathtaking. All we need is rain."

For the past year and a half, Bazzaz has served as engagement editor for Education Lab, a Seattle Times project that spotlights promising approaches to persistent challenges in public education. Ed Lab produces solutions-oriented stories, as well as guest essays, live chats, events and more. Learn more about it here.
Recently, Bazzaz set aside her long to-do list to answer a few questions about her role at The Seattle Times.
Q: You're Education Lab's engagement editor — what does that mean?
A: Engagement is a nebulous term, so I usually tell people what I do, rather than what my job title is. Essentially, I help promote public voices in our reporting and the projects we do. I identify stories for members of the public to share in their own ways, whether through speaking at an event or writing an essay, and I help them craft that voice that they have.
Q: You edit Student Voices — essays by high-school and college students about their lives. How did that get started?
Q: How did you get interested in journalism?
A: In my family, we're always talking about politics and foreign affairs. I think it's because we're Iraqi and I grew up during the war on terror. Every dinner was like a U.N. Security Council meeting. I would try to keep up by watching the news or picking up a newspaper whenever I could. I always liked being able to have pieces of knowledge and information available to me to take to the table and be a part of the conversation.
Q: What kinds of misconceptions do you think people have about journalists?
A: People often think about journalists as very opportunistic. (Look at film portrayals of journalists; they're not great — starting with Rita Skeeter in Harry Potter!) Sometimes people think they shouldn't say anything to me because I'm just trying to get a big scoop or a big story. But journalism is about much more than that; it's about documenting humanity. Sure, humanity screws up a lot, and we have to write about that. But there are also triumphs, and we try to tell those stories too.
FAQ: Where will Washington state's 7.3 billion education dollars go?
Are 'nudge' letters a good way to improve school attendance?
A soon-to-be grad asks, can I help ease the Washington state teacher shortage?

World Trade Organization shutting down India's massive solar project is what's wrong with the world
Posted by Jeffrey Phillips | Mar 2, 2016 |
The Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission was launched on the 11th January, 2010 by the Prime Minister of India. The mission was to deploy 20,000 MW of grid-connected solar power by 2022 and reduce the cost of solar power generation in the country. Once completed, the mission would have made the country a global leader in solar energy.
Last week, the World Trade Organization delivered a heavy blow to the mission at the wish of the United States.
What started as a U.S. complaint led the WTO dispute panel to rule that several provisions of India's National Solar Mission were "inconsistent" with international trade norms. The main inconsistency was that the mission did not meet a requirement that a certain percentage of cells and panels must be manufactured locally.
The U.S. argues that the Solar Mission's domestic content requirements have led to a 90 percent decrease in its solar exports to India since 2011. This led to the WTO complaint, one that many U.S. environmental groups are opposing for its anti-climate cooperation stance.
Grist puts it well, stating, "The ruling is a particularly harsh kick in the gut to climate cooperation, coming so soon after the (quasi-)promising results reached in Paris last December. "The ink is barely dry on the U.N. Paris Climate Agreement, but clearly trade still trumps real action on climate change," said Sam Cossar-Gilbert, a program coordinator at Friends of the Earth International, in a statement.
Once again, business and economic interests have thwarted progress in combating climate change. U.S. companies finding loopholes in trade agreements in order to minimize competition, unfortunately, is the American way and it is stunting what should be a priority in the progression of energy consumption.

Kleptoprotein Bioluminescence: The origin of the luciferase of luminous fish Parapriacanthus ransonneti
Friday, January 18, 2019 - 15:00
Center bldg. C210
Dr. Manabu Bessho

The Golden sweeper Parapriacanthus ransonneti is a shallow water fish that lives in Indo-Western Pacific coasts. It has two types of light organs projecting from the digestive tract at the ventral side of the body. This fish uses luciferin 'vargulin' obtained from the luminous crustacean Vargula hilgendorfii prey as a substrate for its bioluminescence. More than 200 genra of fishes are knwon as bioluminescent but no fish luciferase gene have been reported to date. Here we report a luciferase from fish for the first time. We purified the enzyme responsible for the luminescence by vargulin and identified the luciferase by mass spectrometry. The luciferase was detected only in the light organs by Western blotting and immunohistochemistry, which corresponding to the tissue specificity of luciferase activity. Based on the sequence, we further sought the evolutionaly origin of P. ransonneti luciferase.
Dr. Manabu Bessho-Uehara is a Postdoctoral Fellow, working with Steven Haddock at Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI). He worked for 10 years on "bioluminescence", a light from a living organism, from aspects of biochemistry, molecular biology, genome, and transcriptome in order to uncover the evolution of the bioluminescence. Dr. Bessho did his Ph.D. in Bioagricultural Sciences from Nagoya University (Japan) into the characterization of luciferase in fireflies -an enzyme for light emission- description of its isoforms and uncovered its evolution by analyzing the genomes. In addition to his work on finding of a luciferase from shallow water luminous fish, Dr. Bessho is currently working on important questions in deep-sea bioluminescence at MBARI.

The group of death it was billed, but it's Gaoth Dobhair who, with one game left, are cleaning the blood from their sword and looking forward to the quarter-finals.
Gaoth Dobhair are heading for the last eight after muscling away from a wasteful Naomh Conaill at windy Magheragallon.
Picture: Dáire Ó Baoill on the attack for Gaoth Dobhair against Naomh Conaill.
When Naomh Conaill led by two points after three minutes of the second half, the natives were becoming restless.
Naomh Conaill kicked it away, registering a staggering 15 wides in all. Martin Regan's side scored only once in the second half and nothing at all in the last half-an-hour of the action.
When they trailed by two, Gaoth Dobhair needed inspiration and they got it from Odhrán Mac Niallais.
With the wind in his sails, Mac Niallais soared over a free from beyond 60 metres and it was just the spur Gaoth Dobhair needed.
If anyone was unaware of what this one meant, the welcome to Gaoth Dobhair said it all. Green and white flags were erected all over the parish in the lead-up to this one and a statement of their intent, taken from the lyrics of The Two Brendans, lay neatly placed on the approach road to the pitch.
They were up for this one, alright.
Gaoth Dobhair hurt long and hard following a 2017 semi-final defeat to the Glenties men. Six up at half-time, Gaoth Dobhair were almost punching their tickets for the final, but they were broken down and beaten by Naomh Conaill's second-half comeback in Ballybofey.
The memories of that soaking Ballybofey night lingered in the minds beneath Errigal since.
The teams were level for the fifth time in the 38th minute as Cian Mulligan wormed his way through to fist over.
Eamon McGee's influence was growing and he set up Mulligan to put Gaoth Dobhair into a lead they would hold until the end.
Substitute Eamon Collum sneaked over a point with his first touch after McGee and Kevin Cassidy combined well and by the time an absorbing contest came to a close, Gaoth Dobhair had double scores to spare.
Gary McFadden superbly curbed the influence of Ciaran Thompson, keeping him scoreless from play and Gaoth Dobhair had big contributions all over the park. In the dying moments, Anthony Thompson attempted to burrow his way through, but the again-excellent Odhrán McFadden-Ferry stopped him in his tracks with an excellent intervention.
Mac Niallais swung over a glorious point and captain Niall Friel raised the decibels from the home followers in a big crowd with a fine point.
Gaoth Dobhair showed two changes from the side that eked out a narrow win over St Eunan's in a sometimes ill-tempered contest last Sunday. Michael Carroll and Gavin McBride were restored to the starting XV, in place of Dan McBride and Collum, while Naomh Conaill returned their captain, Brendan McDyer, taking the spot of Dermot Molloy in the visiting attack.
Eoghan McGettigan, who has missed last weekend's destruction of Dungloe in Glenties, was a late entrant to the Naomh Conaill team-sheet, as Ethan O'Donnell dropped out.
The teams were level three times in a cagey opening 20 minutes and it was a time when Naomh Conaill were left cursing their profligacy.
Space was at a premium and Naomh Conaill, playing with the stiff breeze at their backs, kicked three wides in a row, all of them from positions where they'd have expected to raise white flags, but Anthony Thompson found a pocked to manoeuvre and fired over. It was a moment when a goal seemed on, but Thompson went for power over precision.
Kevin Cassidy popped Gaoth Dobhair back in front, but it was short-lived.
Eoin Waide tucked over after McLoone forced a way through and corner-back Aaron Thompson nailed a long-range effort.
Naomh Conaill led 0-5 to 0-4 at half-time, but the lead ought fo have been greater as Ciaran Thompson was off target from a free that was the final kick of the opening half.
It was a seventh wide of part one for Naomh Conaill; a statistic that will have gnawed at Martin Regan as he headed to rally his troops for the second instalment.
Thompson slotted over a free, against the gale this time, to put Naomh Conaill 0-6 to 0-4 in front.
Remarkably, it would be Naomh Conaill's final score of the afternoon and Gaoth Dobhair hit the next eight to march into the quarter-finals.
Their's will be an ominous and formidable presence for the knockout phase.
Gaoth Dobhair: Christopher Sweeney; Gary McFadden, Neil McGee, Christopher McFadden; Niall Friel (0-2), Kieran Gillespie (0-1), Odhrán McFadden-Ferry; Dáire Ó Baoill, Odhrán Mac Niallais (0-4, 3f); Cian Mulligan (0-2), Naoise Ó Baoill, Eamon McGee; Gavin McBride (0-1f), Kevin Cassidy (0-1), Michael Carroll. Subs: Eamon Collum (0-1) for McBride (45), Peter McGee for E.McGee (56), Seaghan Ferry for Carroll (60).


Singly charged buckminsterfullerene anions, C60−, are subject to a strong intramolecular T [circle times] h Jahn–Teller (JT) effect. When such ions interact with other C60− ions in a solid through a cooperative JT effect, they will be subject to an additional interaction. There are a number of different mechanisms that can cause this interaction. However, in the molecular field approximation, all can be modelled phenomenologically in terms of a symmetry-lowering interaction written in terms of a linear combination of electronic operators for the h modes involved in the intramolecular JT effect. We will consider the combined effect of this distortion and the intramolecular JT effect. We will analyse the lowest adiabatic potential energy surface, and calculate the energies of the resultant vibronic states. The results are shown to have a complicated dependence on the particular combination of h modes chosen, and the energies of the resultant vibronic states cannot easily be deduced from the form of the potential alone.


First comic book about Kazakh superhero "Ermek batyr" was presented in Taldykorgan. The author of the ancient legend, a young artist Madibek Mussabekov, is quite popular among teenagers. His graphic work that incorporates mythology and historic facts promotes traditional culture. Table games championship was also organized as part of the festival. Teenagers took part in the first traditional game titled "Kazakh khanate." It allowed young people to learn the history of the ancient state.
- Teenagers liked the game very much. They were playing it nonstop till the end of the event. They also found "Ermek batyr" comic book very interesting. We can see the young generation's fascination with the Kazakh hero and history. Madibek has a dream that one day a film will be made based on his comics.


Released last week is the newest Webmap-based application and the latest NYC Simplicity initiative, ZoLa. Done in collaboration with the Department of City Planning (DCP), ZoLa provides New York City residents up-to-date information on zoning and land use. Information that is critical to community groups, developers and property owners to better understand their properties and their properties relationship to its surroundings.
DoITT's GIS unit developed ZoLa in collaboration with DCP. The effort was completed entirely in house utilizing existing infrastructure and DoITT's in-house developed Webmap. Automated procedures were written to ensure the data is kept fresh, with a monthly update of most critical data including zoning and land use. To date the Bloomberg Administration has adopted 112 rezonings and has more in the pipleline, further underscoring ZoLa's importance of making this information available in a timely and visually understandable means (i.e., a map).

Review by Joseph Anthony
It will come as no surprise that Tom Cruise is a convincing hero as title character JACK REACHER. Cruise plays an ex-Army, no-nonsense justice seeker drifting on the fringeS of society turned homicide investigator. He is a ghost by most societal standards – no driver's license, no phone, no address, and just one outfit.
JACK REACHER, based on the novel One Shot by Lee Child, tells the story of an investigation after five civilians are shot by a sniper in broad daylight in downtown Pittsburgh. When the main suspect, Barr (Joseph Sikora) – also ex-Army – is detained and charged, Reacher shows up in the DA's office as if by tough-guy magic (he saw the report on the news). Reacher sets out to prove the suspect is guilty, but is hired as the lead investigator by the defense attorney Helen (Rosamund Pike).
Aside from a handful of tense moments and longing looks, there's no love story here. The movie is all investigation, clues, and action. The film harkens back to action movies of the 70's with fewer stunts and effects and more nitty-gritty car chases, suspense and chasing down bad guys. Plus a few lines so bad, they're good! There's a zany quality to the opposition which feeds the larger-than-life persona of Jack Reacher and provides a few good laughs in the theater.
There's a little lacking in the story behind the bad guys – what were they so upset about again - but as the film unveils their motive, it all feels a little silly and unconvincing. It's clear Cruise isn't pushing his acting anywhere he hasn't before, but the entertainment value is still there. The film rests on Cruise's shoulders, who has playing cool down to an art.
Writer and director Christopher McQuarrie has worked with Cruise before, as a writer on VALKYRIE (2008) and he's been tapped to write MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 5 which is scheduled to arrive in 2015. In what has to be the boldest casting choice of 2012, McQuarrie called on Werner Herzog (famed German filmmaker) to play the movie's cold-blooded leader of miscreants, "The Zek," which translates to "the prisoner" in Russian. His character is spooky and alarming, if underdeveloped. Robert Duvall, always a sure bet, plays an old-fashioned, ex-Marine gun shop owner, Cash. He is as likable of a sidekick as you could ever hope for, humor and all. David Oyelowo – who we saw in LINCOLN recently – plays Emerson, investigator for the DA. Much like Herzog, Oyelowo's character is played convincingly, but the character seems only half written.
JACK REACHER is a satisfying adventure with no real dead air. And it's a good reason to cheer for truth, justice, and a little ass-kicking and muscle car racing.
