When they had the chance for Mark Carney, Governor of the Bank of England to address their conference delegates, Innovation SuperNetwork didn't need to think twice! However, he was already presenting the same content at a conference across the city as part of Northern Powerhouse Business Summit.
That's when streamGo stepped in. SuperNetwork worked with us to provide a high quality stream between the two venues featuring crystal clear video and detailed slides.
"StreamGo were great to work with – provided a hassle-free reliable service, keeping in constant communication on the run-up.
The live stream was a great solution for our event and I would definitely recommend them as a company!
Our specialist webcast team conducted detailed site visits at each venue to organise and integrate seamlessly with two different AV teams while also organising technical logistics.
Nothing was left to chance – we specialise in high-profile, fully redundant streaming – exactly what's needed with such a flagship event.
Our team were at both venues to cue presenters on stage and ensure complete harmony in timings between both venues.
With Mark Carney being such a high-profile speaker this stream was never going to disappoint – and it definitely didn't! Attendees at the remote conference were both surprised and impressed with such a public figure – little did they realise the work involved.
The client was able to feature an exceptionally senior leader at their event, adding wow and scale at a price that didn't break the bank.

Q: How to handle the refresh in production build using react-router I have an app that's using react router. I have already set up my dev environment to use it and I don't have the problem when I want to refresh the page, or the server do it itself, but when i make a production build. If any user use the refresh button in the app, it will have a 404 error.
I know in the server (my prod build will be in an ISS srv), the route made by react router what the app is trying to access doesn't exist, so how can I fix that problem?
what do I need to do and how to do it?
I'm pretty new on this.
Thanks for your time and help!

A: I will try to explain how react router manages your state of you Application.
Say u have following router
<Router>
   <Route to="/" component={Home}>
     <Route to ="/about" component={About} />
    </Route>
<Router>

Say you are on home page of your application, which would be /. Now say yoy navigate to /about url using Link on your home page. This would be served by your react router. So things work fine.
Now say at this point of time when you are at /about route you refresh the page. Now the web-browser like any page request(irrespective of whether its a single page application or not) would send a request to your backend server to get page. So you need to have routes configured in backend for the first page load.
Now you must be compiling your react components maybe using webpack and getting a bundle output right? This you put in your html file ? Now for all routes serve this html file only.
As you have your compiled JS file, when page renders on react-router renders the page automatically.
Now for configuring routes there are multiple ways to do it. One of them an be add all routes in the backend which render same html file with compiled javascript containing your react code. Another can be use something like nginx and return the html from there only.

A: For your production setup, you'll need your ISS server set up so all incoming URL requests will return the index.html file. I'm not sure how this would be done in ISS, but in something like Apache, you'd use URL rewrites.
The reason why you want to always return your index.html is because index.html is essentially your react app and the react-router component will handle the routing and render what is necessary based on the URL.
You would only not rewrite URLs that point to your static assets (css/js/pngs/etc. files). For convenience, you would probably want to make all your static files available under a, for example, /static/ URL of your site.
So, you'd want your server configured so that (* being a wildcard):
/static/* returns whatever static resource is requested in the URL
/* returns your index.html page
The reason why you don't worry about this when running in your dev environment is because webpack-dev-server is configured to do this all for you.

Theatre Art
The production of theatre art continues under the most severe circumstances, even under dictatorships. After the Nazi Party gained power in Germany and established its Third Reich (1933-1945), amateur and professional theatre artists maintained their stagecraft skills as best they could. Not only did German non-Jewish actors continue to work in their professions, but Jewish-born theatre practitioners in Germany also found creative niches for their art-making. The Nazis imposed censorship laws and stipulations on cultural activity, especially by Jews, in Germany and occupied Europe during the Holocaust years. Nonetheless, a wealth of cultural production persisted, even in places one may think impossible for any kind of creativity. Forms of theatre and related musical events endured in a cultural organisation solely for Jews until 1941 – the Jewish Kulturbund theatre in Nazi Germany; in early concentration camps for political prisoners; in transit and internment camps across Western Europe like Westerbork (the Netherlands); in such enclosed ghettos as Warsaw, Łódź, Kraków and Vilna; at the model ghetto known as Theresienstadt and in concentration camps and killing centres like Dachau and Auschwitz-Birkenau. Even after World War II ended, actor-inmates organised Yiddish-language performances in Displaced Persons' Camps like Bergen-Belsen.
Definition of Theatre Art
Theatrical activity, then, did not cease after Hitler took power. It is vital, however, when considering theatre performance by Jews during the Shoah to use a broad definition of 'theatrical activity', given the repressive German state policy which turned to genocide against the Jews. The term 'theatre' implies the presence of an audience in addition to a performer. 'Theatre art' involves the process by which such scripts as opera libretti and play texts result in the performance of song and dialogue. The enactment may take place with or without scenery, costumes, and stage props; or actors may read the script out loud without any stage effects. Puppet theatre, skits (often with music or dance), and the dramatic recitation of poetry, fall under the rubric of theatre art. All of these aspects were essential to the theatrical revues and cabarets performed in nightclubs throughout European capitals before World War II. The ghetto revue theatres of Nazi-occupied Europe in the early 1940s employed many of these elements, which evolved from longstanding pre-war European traditions.
Unlike other forms of art, theatre performance is the most transitory; theatre takes place live in the present while we watch. It exists only in real time. The audience or 'witnesses' experience stories or a series of images that often touch on something recognisably human. This allows for some communion among audience members, engaging them in that which is enacted by the performers. A play's themes and its spectacle reinforce the communal quality that exists in theatre. Theatre artists often rely on the natural cross-over among the arts, collaborating with musicians, writers, and applied or visual artists. A theatre performance, whether in a specifically-designated auditorium, in an outside field or in the corner of a barracks, creates a space in which all present share a bond, however temporary. The flexibility of theatre as a mode of expression and its reliance on the subjunctive realm of 'if' may have made this art form especially conducive to people incarcerated in ghetto and camp settings during the Holocaust years.
A Theatre Within Nazi Germany: The Jewish Kulturbund
Beginning with the early years in Berlin just months after Adolf Hitler became German Chancellor, Jewish theatre artists and musicians were ousted from cultural venues in Germany. Their sole cultural outlet became the Kulturbund (Cultural League) of German Jewry, later renamed the Kulturbund for Jews in Germany. The cultural enterprise was established with the approval of Nazi officials in Joseph Goebbels' Ministry of Propaganda and Cultural Enlightenment. Under the directorship of the musicologist Dr Kurt Singer, a network of cultural leagues across Hitler's Reich, based in Berlin, provided theatres with musical and theatrical events for Jewish subscribers from October 1933 to September 1941. Only Jews could perform in, attend, and review play productions, operas, cabaret and orchestral concerts at Kulturbund-sponsored theatres. The dramatic and musical repertoire was limited mainly to works written or composed by non-German Jewish artists, although exceptions did bypass the ubiquitous system of censorship. A related cultural league, comprised mainly of German-born Jewish émigrés, evolved in the Netherlands at Amsterdam's Joodsche Schouwbourg during the early 1940s. The theatre itself was subsequently transformed into a deportation site for transports (July 1942), as Jews were deported to guarded environments like Nazi-run ghettos and camps. The kind of theatrical activity that developed in those environments differed from that of the Jewish Kulturbund.
Ghetto and camp theatre settings: commanded art versus self-initiated expression
Theatre art during the Holocaust years can be grouped into categories of commanded art and self-initiated expression, depending on the setting in which it occurred. The various settings in which theatre artists sustained their art represented the increasing trend towards the ghettoization – cultural and geographical – of those groups deemed undesirable within Hitler's Reich. The Kulturbund may be considered a legitimate theatre enterprise, condoned by the Nazi leadership, and allowing artists in Germany a creative and economic venue for their skills. Across Nazi-occupied Europe, however, artists and intellectuals of extraordinary abilities also produced theatre art, as well as professionals and amateurs, including adults and children. Numerous artists were Jewish-born, many of them imprisoned in ghettos and concentration camps. Others were non-Jewish political prisoners.
At each ghetto or camp, inmates who had been professional theatre artists and amateur actors gained a special status as entertainers. They often became 'privileged' prisoners; this entitled them to special housing at Westerbork and Theresienstadt for example, or extra rations, and other goods that they could exchange. Privileged actors received some protection from guards, kapos, and even SS officers, but their talents also put them at risk: they were subject to censorship and even severe punishment for their art-making. It depended on whether they received authorisation or an order from an official to perform, or whether they initiated their own performance, which therefore could be secret in nature. Regardless of the setting in a ghetto or a camp, however, cultural activities and programs evolved – some more loosely organised than others: some were clandestine; some developed with tacit approval from the Jewish Council of Elders (in East European ghettos or Theresienstadt) or Nazi overseers (at transit and concentration camps); other theatrical performances were explicitly approved, encouraged – and in some cases, commanded. This was true of the Westerbork cabaret troupe, the programs of the organised Freizeitgestaltung (organised leisure time) and theatre performance at Theresienstadt, and at Auschwitz-Birkenau and its sub-camps, for instance, when Commanders, kapos, and even room elders demanded entertainment from designated 'entertainers'.
Clandestine attempts at art-making, on the other hand, may be viewed as a protest by prisoners: inmate-artists who initiated unauthorised theatrical performance – a recited poem or a performed skit, for example – subverted repression by openly performing forbidden texts or lyrics. Karel Švenk of the Czech-language cabaret at Theresienstadt exercised this kind of protest and expression with his sketches, as did political prisoners at Sachsenshausen, Dachau, and Ravensbrück, and night-time performers in the infirmaries of Auschwitz, for example. The reasons that theatre artists performed under duress are as varied as the kinds of performances themselves; but despite the risks, the artists' urge to survive often prompted their performances. They could treat their art as a commodity to be bought for physical well-being, respect, protection, a better barracks, or extra food. They could also use their art to preserve a sense of self either through spiritual restoration or a temporary escape from an unbearable situation.
General Theatre Repertoire and its Transfer
Popular songs and familiar comic routines of pre-war music halls lived on in the ghettos and in various Nazi-run camps because some of the deported artists – already established in their art – brought their repertoires (preserved in memory), and sometimes a pencil, a book, or a musical instrument with them. In Nazi Germany and in East European ghettos, Jewish help organisations supplied artistic materials. In camps, official patrons like commanders often provided these materials for the artists. Some inmates had access to books. Inmates also traded or smuggled hand-made books into barracks, as women did in Ravensbrück, for example. A political prisoner there treasured her bartered copy of a play by the seventeenth-century playwright, Molière; Charlotte Delbo had memorised the dialogue and recited it to herself later to get through morning roll call at Auschwitz-Birkenau. Ghetto and camp inmates composed and scored music for instruments and the voice on site. Some prisoners recited poetry and sang in camp barracks. These are some of the ways that actors performed scripted drama and engaged in the dramatic recitation of literary classics. Relying on the oral tradition, artists passed on the Yiddish-language theatre repertoire of the 'spoken word players', professional orators from such Polish cities as Łódź and Warsaw, to ghetto theatre stages, theatre troupes within the camps, Yiddish theatre ensembles in Displaced Persons' Camps after 1945, and into the Jewish Diaspora to places like New York City and Melbourne, Australia.
The performed repertoire at the Jewish Kulturbund and in ghettos and camps included serious drama, comedy, satire, opera, cabaret revues and popular music. The Kulturbund main theatre repertoire consisted of Western classics like William Shakespeare (A Midsummer Night's Dream, A Winter's Tale); Sophocles (Antigone), Henrik Ibsen (Pillars of a Society); Molière (The Imaginary Invalid); drama by German-speaking Jews, imported comedies, and two to three Yiddish-language dramas a year (all in German translation). Theresienstadt's separate German and Czech-language theatre troupes performed work by Chekhov (Courtship and The Bear), Gogol (The Marriage), and Jean Cocteau (The Human Voice); and operas like Smetana's The Bartered Bride, Krása's Brundibár, and Bizet's Carmen. German-language play-reading performances at Theresienstadt included classics by Goethe, Lessing and Gerhardt Hauptmann, writers whose work was eventually forbidden to Jews in Nazi Germany.
Ghetto variety revues in Vilna provided spectators with witty insight into their everyday life in 'living newspapers', while Westerbork cabaret skits portrayed camp protocol. At Theresienstadt, the cabaret poked fun at new inmates, poor food and hygiene, and the ghetto's elders. The Czech-language troupes in particular relied on satirical and allegorical dramas, which often bypassed the ghetto censors. Stefan Zweig's 'Jeremiah' (censored at the Kulturbund), work by Hugo Hofmannthal, and newly written drama was performed for Theresienstadt audiences, who drew direct parallels to the Nazi government. For example, Švenk's 'The Last Cyclist' (1943) turns on the persecution of all cyclists by a government ruled by the 'Rat-dictator'. The Jewish Council banned the revue because of its anti-Nazi message. The Jewish Council also banned Viktor Ullmann's allegorical opera about a dictator, The Emperor of Atlantis (1944), after the dress rehearsal.
Reconstructing Theatre Activities: Documentation and Materials
Even under normal circumstances, theatre performance – like a music concert – is difficult to reconstruct as it was lived. Traditional performances usually derive from play texts or directors' notes. Eyewitness reviews become essential for documenting performance. Such reviews never existed in many of the settings described. War and Nazi attempts to destroy Jewish culture, as well as Europe's post-war division, make it nearly impossible to recreate a performance history of theatre from the Holocaust years. Some original play scripts, production photographs, theatre memorabilia, and official Nazi correspondence exist from these years, however, particularly from the Jewish Kulturbund.
Polish Jewish newspapers from the early 1940s list the plays performed in the Warsaw ghetto. Cultural reports and diaries by Jewish ghetto administrators describe entertainments in other ghettos like Vilna and Łódź. Photographs of 'amusements for the ghetto elite' photographed by German army reporters may be useful to researchers. Meanwhile, photos documenting Westerbork cabaret revues reveal props, scenery, and costumes; and diary entries and typed programs suggest the content of those revues. Cabaret critiques written in Theresienstadt survived the war, as did remnants of libretti, music, set designs and costume sketches from the ghetto's cultural department. A secretly written opera libretto from Ravensbrück was published six decades after its creation by a prisoner who wrote in a cardboard packing crate, guarded by barracks' mates. Arts scholars may examine these varied resources when researching theatre performance during the Holocaust.
Perhaps most compelling are the voices of those performers who created theatre art amid the horrors of deportation and death. Their motives for creating art were varied. But their expression of purpose attests to a singular human need to preserve one's sense of self and to survive. Dovid Rogow was one of the first actors to organise a touring Yiddish-language theatre troupe for the DP camps at the end of World War II. He has made it clear that, 'In a terrible time, the actor himself forgets his surroundings and the audience forgets for a half an hour where they are'. The former master of ceremonies for an authorised cabaret troupe at Auschwitz I speaks about his art-making differently. Each Sunday afternoon for a month on the top floor of a barracks, Max Rodriquez Garcia performed for an audience of elite prisoners and the SS. With his quintet of jazz musicians, Garcia told jokes in German and sang songs by Charles Trenet, Maurice Chevalier and Zarah Leander. Garcia voices the necessity, but also the contradictions, of performing at a camp like Auschwitz:
You have been privileged … Your life is pretty damned good – under the circumstances. But it is absurd. Because really what it says in a certain way is you're ignoring the misery that's outside. But then the next question comes, 'Why would I be involved in it? Because it's not yet me who's there. I don't know these people'. But you're part of humanity and what you're doing there is pure self preservation. You sing and dance for the devil because you will not let him kill you.
Performers who lived through the Shoah, like Garcia and Rogow, confirm that the creative process was significant to their survival. Their testimony demonstrates the need for us to situate the 'cultural heritage' of the Holocaust years within twentieth-century music and theatre history, despite the atrocity that co-existed with this heritage.

Charles River overhauls PCS, sales organisation
Peter Mansell
US-based contract research organisation (CRO) Charles River Laboratories is restructuring its Preclinical Services (PCS) business and realigning its sales functions in response to the tougher economic climate and the evolution of its clients' business models.
"In today's challenging economic environment, we are continually identifying new strategies to enhance customer satisfaction, improve efficiencies and strengthen business operations," said chairman, president and chief executive officer James Foster. "Our clients are transforming their business models, and in order to continue to provide the superior client service which they have come to expect from us, we must evolve with them."
According to Foster, the organisational changes in the PCS segment will enhance the CRO's ability to provide customers with a centralised, integrated global approach to their drug development programmes across all business segments, while the sales realignment will give clients access to "the full breadth of Charles River's extensive product and service portfolio through a central point of contact".
The company has created a dual accountability structure in Preclinical Services, with both global functional teams and site-level management. The objective, Charles River explained, was to "elevate the harmonisation and integration of all services across the PCS organisation", so that service delivery to clients worldwide would be "seamless and consistent".
Services will also be tailored to individual client requirements, mustering expertise from various facilities to support client programmes "regardless of the specific site at which the programme is resident", Charles River noted.
Another significant benefit of the initiative is expected to be "the ease with which we are able to leverage our Lean Six Sigma and other process harmonisation efforts to standardise on best-in-class processes across the PCS organisation", the CRO added. "This will enable us to deliver increasing value to our clients in support of their efforts to reduce drug development cycle time and cost."
The realignment of Charles River's sales organisation has already begun and will extend through to the end of the year. The aim here is to "migrate from a sales approach which focuses on our portfolio of products and services to one focused on value-based solutions by customer segment". As with the organisational changes in the PCS segment, the CRO expects the new approach to facilitate interaction with clients and improve its ability to address specific client needs.
Charles River is establishing a three-pronged sales organisation directed at, respectively, global biopharmaceutical companies, small and medium-sized pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, and the academic and government sector. Dr Christophe Berthoux, corporate executive vice-president, global sales and marketing, described the move as "the next step in the evolution of our sales organisation from locally to globally focused".
In February Charles River said it would cut its workforce by around 3% company-wide during the first quarter, as part of a wider effort to "align our infrastructure for enhanced operating efficiency".
The majority of the job losses were destined to fall in Charles River's Preclinical Services (PCS) segment. The company has faced softening demand in its PCS business, where net sales dropped by 8.3% to US$158.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2008 and by 17.2% to US$140.0 million in the first quarter of 2009.
First-quarter sales in the RMS business were down by 4.2% year-on-year, to US$161.5 million
RMS succession
The CRO has also announced a succession plan for its Research Models and Services (RMS) segment, where Real Renaud – corporate executive vice president and president, Global Research Models and Services – has announced his intention to retire by the end of 2010.
In the initial phase of a 12- to 18-month transition, Dr Davide Molho has been promoted to corporate senior vice president, North American & European Research Models and Services. In his new role, Molho assumes responsibility for North American RMS in addition to his leadership of the European Research Models and Services business.

Blindspot continues its Second Season themes of painting the terrorist organization which tattooed most of Jane's (Jaimie Alexander) body in enigmatic clues, wiped her memory, locked her in a trunk, and dumped her in Times Square as the more likable and trustworthy organization between themselves and the FBI. Brought further into the fold, Jane learns a bit more about Sheppard (Michelle Hurd) and the events which led her to become involved with Sandstorm. Meanwhile everyone at the FBI seems inexplicably blind to the fact that their actions and attitudes (torture, distrust, anger, contempt, revulsion, etc.) towards Jane could be pushing her further into the welcoming bosom of dangerous, but at least accepting, individuals they are relying on Jane to take down.
The case of the week based on one of Jane's tattoos sends the FBI after a government agent using his clearance to create perfect crimes and selling step-by-step walkthroughs of government agencies, embassies, and safe houses in the form of seemingly innocuous video games. The latest job, a hit inside a museum, leads the FBI to capture a burned CIA agent (Karen Pittman) who it turns out has some very good reasons to be killing off her former compatriots. The episode also continues the B-story involving Reade's (Rob Brown) repressed memories which get the agent into trouble.

Ecomorphology or ecological morphology is the study of the relationship between the ecological role of an individual and its morphological adaptations. The term "morphological" here is in the anatomical context. Both the morphology and ecology exhibited by an organism are directly or indirectly influenced by their environment, and ecomorphology aims to identify the differences.  Current research places emphasis on linking morphology and ecological niche by measuring the performance of traits (i.e. sprint speed, bite force, etc.) associated behaviours, and fitness outcomes of the relationships.

Current ecomorphological research focuses on a functional approach and application to the science. A broadening of this field welcomes further research in the debate regarding differences between both the ecological and morphological makeup of an organism.

Development of ecomorphology

The roots of ecomorphology date back to the late 19th century.  Then, description and comparison of morphological form, primarily for use in avian classification, was focal point of morphological research. However, during the 1930s and 40s morphology as a field shrank. This was likely due to the emergence of new areas of biological inquiry enabled by new techniques. The 1950s brought about not only a change in the approach of morphological studies, resulting in the development of evolutionary morphology in the form of theoretical questions, and a resurgence of interest in the field. High-speed cinematography and x-ray cinematography began to allow for observations of movements of parts while electromyography  allowed for observation of the integration of muscle activities. Together, these methodologies allowed morphologists to better delve into the intricacies of their study.  It was then, in the 1950s and 60s, that ecologists began to use morphological measures to study evolutionary and ecological questions. This culminated in Karr and James coining the term "ecomorphology" in 1975. The following year the links between vertebrate morphology and ecology were finally established creating the foundations of modern ecomorphology.

Ecomorphology

Ecomorphology and functional morphology

Functional morphology differs from ecomorphology in that it deals with the features arising from form at varying levels of organisation. Ecomorphology, on the other hand, refers to those features which can be shown to derive from the ecology surrounding the species. In other words, functional morphology focuses heavily on the relationship between form and function whereas ecomorphology is interested in the form and the influences from which it arises. Functional morphology studies often investigate relationships between the form of Skeletal muscle and physical properties such as force generation and joint mobility. This means that functional morphology experiments may be done under laboratory conditions whereas ecomorphological experiments may not. Moreover, studies of functional morphology themselves provide insufficient data upon which to make conclusions regarding environmental adaptations of a species. The data provided from these studies can, however, support and enrich the understanding of a species' ecomorphological adaptations. For instance, the relationship between the organization of the jaw lever-arm system, mouth size, and jaw muscle force generation and the feeding behaviour of sunfish has been investigated. Work of this variety lends scientific support to seemingly intuitive concepts. For instance, increases in mouth size correspond to an increase in prey size. However, less obvious trends also exist. The prey-size of fish does not seem to correlate so much to body size as to the characteristics of the feeding apparatus.

Behavioural studies
The work above is just one example of an ecomorphology based behavioural study. Studies of this variety are becoming increasingly important in the field.  Behavioural studies interrelate functional and eco-morphology.  Features such as locomotory ability in foraging birds have been shown to affect dietary preferences by studies of this type. Behavioural studies are particularly common in fisheries and in studying birds. Other studies attempt to relate ecomorphological findings with the dietary habits of species. Griffen and Mosblack (2011) investigated differences in diet and consumption rate as a function of gut ecomorphology. Indeed, gut volume was found to correlate positively to increasing metabolic rate. Ecomorphological studies can often be used to determine to presence of parasites in a given temporospatial context as parasite presence can alter host habitat use.

Other current work within ecomorphology focuses on broadening the knowledge base to allow for ecomorphological studies to incorporate a wider range of habitats, taxa, and systems. Much current work also focuses on the integration of ecomorphology with other comparative fields such as phylogenetics and ontogenetics to better understand evolutionary morphology.

Applications of ecomorphology

An understanding of ecomorphology is necessary when investigating both the origins of and reasons for biodiversity within a species. Ecomorphology is fundamental for understanding changes in the morphology of a species in which subsets occupy different ecological niches, demonstrate different reproductive techniques, and have various sensory modalities.  Studies conducted on species with high biodiversity frequently investigate the extent to which species morphology is influenced by their ecology. Bony fishes are often used to study ecomorphology due to their long evolutionary history, high biodiversity, and multi-stage life cycle. Studies on the morphological diversity of African cichlids conducted by Fryer and Iles were some of the first to demonstrate ecomorphology, . This is largely due to cichlids having great biodiversity, wide distribution, the ability to occupy various ecological niches, and obvious morphological differences. Ecomorphology is also often used to study the paleohabitat of a species and/or its evolutionary morphology.

Paleohabitat determination from ecomorphology

The history of how a species has undergone morphological adaptations to better suit its ecological role can be used to draw conclusions about its paleohabitat.  The morphologies of paleo-species found at a location help to make inferences about the previous appearance and properties of that habitat. Research using this approach has been widely conducted using bovid fossils due to their large skeletons and extensive species radiation. Plummer and Bishop conducted a study using extant African bovids to investigate the animal's paleoenvironment based on their habitat preference. The strong correlation found between bovid phylogeny and habitat preference suggests that linking morphology and habitat is taxon dependent. Evidence also suggests that further study of the ecomorphology of previously existing habitats may be useful in determining the phylogenetic risk associated with species living in a specific habitat.

Evolutionary morphology
The study of evolutionary morphology concerns changes in species morphology over time in order to become better suited to their environment. These studies are conducted by comparing the features of species groups to provide a historical narrative of the changes in morphology observed with changes in habitat. A background history of a species features and homology must first be known before a history of evolutionary morphology can be observed. This area of biology serves only to provide a nominal explanation of evolutionary biology, as a more in depth explanation of species history is required to provide a thorough explanation of evolution within a species.

Ecomorphology versus habitat preference
Suggestions have been made that the correlations between species biodiversity and particular environments may not necessarily be due to ecomorphology, but rather a conscious decision made by species to relocate to an ecosystem to which their morphologies are better suited. However, there are currently no studies that provide concrete evidence to support this theory. Studies have been conducted to predict fish habitat preference based on body morphology, but no definitive distinction could be made between correlation and causation of fish habitat preference.

Thanks for joining me this week for Hebrews 9! Come on and jump right in, here and now. Read about truth, about grace, and about our amazing Jesus.
Last week, we covered some amazing points found in Hebrews 8. Some, we'd already discussed in previous weeks, which I linked to. But don't be afraid of repetition – so many times, the things that are repeated the most are what we really need to pay attention to.
So here's last week's recap.
*All this is written to show us that we do, in fact, have One – Jesus – who is the ultimate High Priest.
* This New Covenant we have is our remedy for sin.
*The New Covenant involves the Holy Spirit, and not stone tablets. It involves becoming cleansed from our sin, once and for all.
Last week's takeaway: Jesus is the One that makes us who we are. He defines our identity, saves our souls, and mediates the New Covenant between God and His People.
This morning's study is taken from Hebrews 9; it's one of my favorite chapters in the entire book. Click here to read it instantly.
One thing about Hebrews is that, as a writer, I appreciate the imagery and writing style so much.
It's so straightforward – yet profound.
Truths that we probably had read in other parts of the Bible are retold in this book, piecing together the covenants and transgressions and promises and sacrifices of the Old Testament with the fulfillment and salvation and overwhelming grace found in Jesus.
So much of today's Christian thinking is improperly rooted in the Old Testament, because the New Testament is never fully understood.
For example, just as the Israelites sacrificed animals for their sins and repented so ritualistically, so many of us repent over and over and over again to cleanse our consciences, for that is what the Old Covenant required.
The Blood of Christ purifies our conscience. The Blood of Christ makes us clean. The Blood of Christ forgives us and washes us and sanctifies us and makes us whole again.
It's not about repenting over and over again, once we've already been forgiven. We are clean, and we are new, and we must set our minds upon this.
We can live guiltlessly because of what's been done for us – and not what we have made of ourselves.
We can live in freedom – because we have been forgiven.
So many times we try to be tolerant of all, and say that Jesus isn't the only way, that other ways can save too. That whether we believe in Jesus, or just that a "Higher Power" exists out there, we're all set, or at least if we believe in goodness and some sort of afterlife, we'll be good.
But if Jesus died for us, being one of many ways to find God, it'd be in vain. Utterly, completely pointless.
Verse 22 tells us that without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sins – the very same sin that separates us from God.
That Jesus is the only way – and that His one-time death for us was enough to remove every blemish and impurity from us in the sight of God.
We're not hopeless because Jesus is the only way; we have more hope than we ever could have if He was only an option on a ballot of religious candidates.
He wants to save all of us.
And He desperately wants us to know and experience the very essence of what He has done for us.
He has made us clean.
Because of the faultless nature of Jesus, we can place our faith in Him to fully take away all of our sin.
Not just the sin that happened before we got saved.
Not just the sin that we did unknowingly.
Not just some sin for some of the time, but all of it.
Christ died once and for all, and He will never have to die for our sin again – and neither will we.
In short? Jesus' blood paid for all of our sin. We need not keep confessing, because He's already done all the forgiving – and now, with clean consciences, we can stand guiltless before God.
How have you seen evidence of a clean conscience in your own life?
Have you ever been told to continue in repentance, after already having been forgiven?
What verse in Hebrews 9 speaks to you the most?
Thank you, guys, for all of your fabulous support. It means so much to me, especially when I see on the sidebar that nearly 400 of you are reading my blog. FOUR HUNDRED! You guys are amazing and kind and generous and I have no idea where I'd be without you all.
I've been meaning to ask all of your input on this – do you enjoy the weekly Bible study? Would you be interested in it continuing after the summer's up? I'd definitely be open to going back to the regular posts, or continuing with a new book of the Bible, just let me know your thoughts. I want this blog to be more about YOU than ME.
Sure, I could write exactly what I wanted to and ignore everyone else – but that's not how a blog grows and thrives. So tell me what you're interested in next!
And also, don't forget about August's Purposeful Pages Link-Up! Join anytime; we'd love to have you!
Amanda, this is one of my FAVORITE posts that you have written! You have unique, refreshing insight and understanding. Thank you for your faithfulness to writing. Your wisdom from studying God's word blesses numerous people, including me!
Eeeeeep, thank you, Ashley! Oh yes, me too. It's such a beautiful beautiful thing to know, isn't it?

The term butterfly effect is a popular term that was coined in the 1970s. We will examine the definition of the expression butterfly effect, where it came from and some examples of its use in sentences.
The butterfly effect is the idea that a minute, local change in a system can precipitate large effects in another part of the system. The proposition is a founding idea of chaos theory, a mathematical theory that has been applied to other sciences and even everyday life. Most people understand the butterfly effect as a random small event impacting the outcome of a situation, though the scientific understanding of the butterfly effect is that small differences must occur at the beginning of an event, to have a large impact. The phrase the butterfly effect was first used in a scientific paper presented by Edward Lorenz in 1972: Predictability: Does the Flap of a Butterfly's Wings in Brazil Set Off a Tornado in Texas?
Indeed, chaos theory surmise "butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions in which a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state." (The Latin American Herald Tribune)
Of course, if they'd kept him and he played like this, they might be looking at a decent return package in a return trade, but the baseball butterfly effect is a dangerous game to play. (The McCovey Chronicles)
A single spelling mistake can cause a butterfly effect worth millions — a lesson these companies and individuals learnt the hard way. (The Economic Times)
The resulting wave can be quite influential, creating a kind of "butterfly effect." (The Tallahassee Democrat)

IELTS vocabulary: Crime and Punishment
October 29, 2020 July 22, 2020 by Ray IELTS Focus
In IELTS writing task 2 there are various topics that come up, such as The Environment, Family, Society, Work, Technology, Robotics, Education, Food and Diet, Health, Sports and sometimes Crime. The topic of crime is difficult for many students as there is so much vocabulary surrounding this.
When learning new words you should always learn how the words collocate in a sentence. Research has shown that when learning a new language the best method is to learn set phrases and 'chunks of language' not single word lists. When learning new phrases practice making sentences with them to see how they look in context.

Some people think that the best way to reduce crime is to give longer prison sentences. Others, however, believe there are better alternative ways of reducing crime. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
Some argue that longer jail terms are the most effective way to lower the crime rate, while others think that it is possible to reduce criminal offences using different methods. This essay argues that serious criminals should serve longer prison time because society needs to be protected from dangerous criminals.
On the one hand, some people believe that prolonged incarceration is necessary for people who commit terrible crimes in order to reduce the crime rate, and I completely agree with this view. This is because serious criminals such as murders, rapists or violent offenders need to be kept away from society for as long as possible. If they are released early they will most likely re-offend and go on to commit terrible acts. For instance, data from a London police think tank showed that crime rates of developed countries, which have very long prison sentences or the death penalty for murder, are considerably lower than those with lenient sentences.
On the other hand, there is an argument that relying on sentencing to longer incarceration periods is not effective in lowering crime. In other words, society should find ways to tackle the issue of re-offending. To illustrate this, a recent study from the UK Government indicated that most ex-inmates tend to re-offend because they cannot integrate back into society. Hence, they need support such as education and job training to rebuild their life rather than spending years behind bars. I believe that helping them is essential to stop them re-offending, however, heavier penalties for serious crimes must not be overlooked.
In conclusion, although there are differing views on reducing crime, I believe keeping hardened criminals in jail for extended periods is essential to deter them from going back into society and endangering public safety.

Honing a Life-Saver for Aerospace Component Maker
Sonic Industries, part of the Sargent Aerospace & Defense Company, uses Sunnen SV-1000 to achieve performance-critical ID tolerances and finishes on life-saving fuse pins, reducing cycle times by 75%
Knowing when to "hold 'em," and when to "fold 'em" takes on new meaning when referring to the fuse pins designed to hold a jet engine on a wing, but to break away in emergency situations, allowing the engine to separate from the wing to prevent catastrophic structural failure and fires.
That is the performance dilemma faced by the highly engineered, precisely manufactured aerospace components produced by Sonic Industries.
To achieve this delicate "hold-or-fold" balance, Sonic relies on a new Sunnen SV-1000 honing system to produce the 5-to-7-micron ID tolerance and proprietary finish critical to the part's performance. The CNC-controlled SV-1000 also allowed Sonic to meet increased customer demand when it replaced a manual honing system, reducing cycle times from 40 minutes to 10 and increasing productivity from nine to 40 parts per day.

The Fiji National Rugby League says NRL needs ample time to get all the details in place for the Vodafone Fiji Bati 2017 World Cup semi-final payment.
This after Bati Captain Kevin Naiqama continued to show his frustration about their delayed payment and says they will continue to boycott any planned Tests until the pay dispute is resolved.
FNRL Chief Executive Timoci Naleba says he met with Rugby League International Federation manager Tas Baitieri last week in Australia and says they are finalizing their payments.
Naleba adds the Fiji Bati players will just need to cope with the situations as they are working tirelessly with NRL to sort it.

Hi everyone. My name is Yishan Wong, and this week I'm starting a new job. It turns out that this job is the CEO position at reddit.
At first, I didn't really quite believe I was a serious candidate. It didn't seem real, and I knew that I didn't match the profile of what you might consider (or so I thought) a CEO candidate. I don't have the polish and the poise and the schmoozing, and I don't play golf.
Instead, I'm an engineer and a leader of engineers and I play Starcraft (poorly). But as I continued the conversations, I came to understand that reddit wasn't looking for a conventional CEO candidate, because reddit is not a conventional company.
Yishan: Cats are good. But, as it happens, I am a rabbit person. I used to have three pet rabbits (though one by one, they each passed on, but not before having lived a happy and carrot-and-raisin-filled life). I'll try to find some pictures somewhere.
I think you ought to dress the rabbits up as cats. Just to be safe.


Thank You Montgomery County for Keeping Sinclair Strong!
With 74% support, Montgomery County voters passed Issue 4 on November 7 to renew Sinclair's levy. The levy, which was first brought to voters in 1966 and has been continuously approved, currently provides 20% of Sinclair's annual budget with the remaining funds coming from student tuition and state subsidies.
More than 1,000 students, employees and community members visited Sinclair October 6 & 7 to formally dedicate and celebrate the opening of the Sifferlen Health Sciences Center. Named in honor of former Sinclair president Ned J. Sifferlen, the center consolidates nearly all of Sinclair's 53 Health Sciences degree and certificate programs in one building, promoting daily collaboration and inter-professional training opportunities. VIEW THE SLIDESHOW.
Open to the young and young-at-heart, these performances will feature an innovative method of interpretation. GET YOUR TICKETS!

I asked my students what I should write my last poem of the month about and one kid suggested I go all meta. Write a poem about writing a poem about writing poems, he said. It was a pretty good idea. But instead, I took the prompt from the last prompt of the month from the NaPoWriMo website, not quite so meta: a farewell poem.
see how long I can stay away.
an itch that smells like gasoline.
not because of a monkey, no.
the black crow calls for peace in our time.
On my way home today I will rob a bank.
and he will not, I predict, serve any time.
not just from the right-wing.
$10-million-plus Cover Oregon ad campaign.
to a group of hungry Oregon sea lions.
dragging my friend and my eight year old son along.
and there he is, Colin Meloy, making a purchase.
and he says, yes, and I say, are you signing books?
He points to a table of freshly signed copies of Wildwood.
I shake his hand, tell him my name, that I'm a fan.
He thanks me, walks out, and I buy his books and that's the whole story.
Meloy was somehow monumentally important.
eternal teenage rock and roll fan club?
This is not a poem, but a message.
This is not a poem, but an explanation.
and so easy to write.
an abandoned psych hospital for new town homes.
an inmate shot for dangerously wielding a pencil.
digging, pounding, whistles and beeps.
and the aforementioned psych ward.
way for 32 single-family homes.
tenants could ever dream of living.
in their own back yards.
