"Awakening" is the third episode of the second season of Stargate Universe.
Destiny docks with a Seed ship, and a team is dispatched to search it. They discover the ship may have enough power to dial the gate back home. However, the team is not the only presence on the ship.
Prologue Edit
A group of people are forced to evacuate to Destiny after an attack on Icarus Base by the Lucian Alliance, and are now trapped there. During the time on Destiny, tensions rise between Dr. Nicholas Rush and Colonel Everett Young, eventually causing a mutiny between the civilians and military. After a Nakai attack, the two groups must work together to prepare themselves for the next attack, for the crew's sake. After Colonel David Telford's brainwashing is broken, he reveals that the Lucian Alliance are coming to take Destiny. After a group of Alliance soldiers led by Commander Kiva and Telford gate to Destiny, they take several sections of the ship. During a skirmish in the infirmary, Lt. Tamara Johansen is shot in the stomach. She has a vision of her daughter being transported to Eden. During Telford's attempt to return control of the ship to Rush, he is caught by Kiva and the two shoot each other. Telford survives but Kiva is killed. Dannic takes control but is shot by Ginn, who returns control to Rush. After the crash of the Ancient shuttle, Sgt. Hunter Riley becomes trapped and Young is forced to sufficate him. Rush breaks the master code and discovers the Bridge. Destiny drops out of FTL on course for an unknown object.
On the Observation deck, Camile Wray joins Eli Wallace, Colonel Everett Young, Dr. Nicholas Rush, and Dr. Lisa Park, who are watching as Destiny closes in on an unknown object. Young orders Dr. Adam Brody and Dr. Dale Volker to ready Destiny's weapons. Rush doesn't believe there will be any need for that. As the object comes within visual range, Wray identifies it as a ship. Eli notes that the design is similar to Destiny, and has to be of Ancient design. The ship isn't slowing down, and Brody determines that they're on a collision course. Young orders Brody to ready the main guns, but Rush states that Destiny is planning to dock with the other ship. Sure enough, Destiny slows itself down and engages a docking clamp on the underside of the hull. Young asks if Rush has any more predictions, so Rush sarcastically "predicts" that Young will be sending a team to the ship.
In the Control interface room, Young questions Rush on how he knew the ship was going to dock. Rush claims he just assumed it from the available facts. The ship is one of the Seed ships, sent ahead of Destiny to seed gates for it to use. Young indicates an active display, and Rush explains that Destiny is exchanging data with the ship. Brody believes that the seed ship experienced some kind of malfunction which has left it dead in space, hence why they managed to catch up with it. Young wants to know what the data pertains to, but Rush says it will take a while to decode, so Young suggests he get started right away. Rush wants to put it off for now, instead wishing to explore the seed ship. Young denies his request; he wants Rush to decode the data as quickly as possible. Young notes the countdown clock isn't active. Volker assumes that the ship is giving them however much time they need, and Eli estimates that it will take about two hours for the download to complete. Young sends Brody and Volker as part of a team to explore the ship with that time frame in mind. Rush tries to protest, wanting to go himself, but is cut short by Young.
Colonel David Telford meets with Wray, who assumed he was busy doing a debriefing with Homeworld Command. Telford is more interested in the ship Destiny has docked with. She tells him about the data transfer and the team sent by Young. Telford quickly leaves, ignoring Wray's attempts to get his attention.
Lt. Matthew Scott and MSgt. Ronald Greer lead the military team sent with Brody and Volker. They meet at the airlock leading to the seed ship. Rush pressurizes it, and Eli informs them that the seed ship has active life support. Greer takes point, followed by Scott. Brody and Volker follow behind them, releasing a Kino for the people in the control room to see through. Young urges caution, as the seed ship is even older than Destiny.
Eli is excited at the prospect of what the data being transferred to Destiny might contain. Rush, visibly annoyed at being stuck in the control room, excuses himself to use the restroom. Rush enters the bridge and begins examining the data on the consoles. The hallucination of Gloria Rush appears behind Rush to comment on the readings his console is showing. Rush confirms that the seed ship has a way of getting the crew home. Gloria knows he won't tell anyone, though Rush figures that they'll likely discover it on their own.
On the observation deck, Chloe Armstrong comes in looking for Lt. Tamara Johansen, who was supposed to meet her in the infirmary about 20 minutes ago. As they begin to leave, Chloe tries to get TJ to open up about the death of her unborn child. TJ doesn't want to talk about it in public. Chloe recommends that she talk to someone about it, though not necessarily Chloe herself. TJ asserts that it's not that she doesn't want to talk to Chloe, but that there's nothing to talk about. Her baby is gone, but she might be in a better place, and that might be for the best. Chloe doesn't think TJ's being honest, but TJ changes the subject, deciding to go to the infirmary so she can check Chloe's leg wound. Chloe tells her that it has almost completely healed. TJ wants to know how that is possible, but Chloe has no idea, either.
On the seed ship, Volker suggests splitting up to cover more ground. Scott denies that course of action. Volker instead suggests setting the Kino to search mode, which Scott is fine with. The Kino moves down an adjacent corridor, leaving the team behind. They eventually come upon a room with several consoles. Brody assumes it to be the ship's control center. Brody and Volker begin bringing systems online despite Scott's misgivings. Scott radios Young to inform them of their progress; Young simply tells Scott to keep him updated. Brody and Volker manage to restore power to the ship, bringing on the lights. Elsewhere on the vessel, a pod opens, from which an alien hand reaches out.
In the control room, Rush finally comes back in, and Young asks where he's been, having been unable to contact him by radio. Rush merely claims he stopped by the mess hall, dismissing the issue of having ignored the radio calls. Telford enters and asks to speak with Young, so they move into the corridor. He is upset that Young did not notify him that a team was being sent to the seed ship. Young asserts that, as the commanding officer, he doesn't have to run everything by Telford. Telford isn't disputing his command, but would like to be kept in the loop. He says he wants to help, but Young claims he doesn't need it. Telford denies this; Young's been working alone since the incursion and it's been taking a toll. It isn't just about Young, but the people under his command, and Telford feels that he hasn't been up to the task of leading them as of late. He suggests that Young either pull himself together or step aside. He knows Young is tired, and again offers his help. Convinced, he jokes that Telford is a "stubborn son of a bitch." Telford feels he owes Young for saving his life. Young points out he had to kill Telford to do it, and Telford assures him that he'd do the same for Young. Young tells Telford about the discovery of the control center, and that the plan is to gather as much information as possible before time runs out.
Young enters the prisoner hold, where he is confronted by Ginn, who wants to go to the seed ship, since she believes she can be of help. Young refuses the request, not intending to let any of them near the ship. Varro, who had asked Young to come, takes over the conversation. He wants to know how long they'll be locked up. Young plans to play it by ear. Varro notes that his people have been cooperative with Homeworld Command by providing information, but Young counters that they would have been left behind had they not. He also brings up Dannic, who they killed to give control of the ship back to the expedition. Young treats this as merely saving their own lives, but Varro adds that the lives of several of Young's people were also saved, in addition to his earlier. Young thanks him for the effort, even though he believes Varro did it because he felt the crew was more useful alive. Simeon slams his hand on a crate, angrily stating that they can't remain prisoners forever. Young retorts that they should have considered the possibility before they attacked, and things could be a lot worse. Varro decides to get to the point: he wants to know what they can do to earn their freedom. Young tells him that they need to prove they aren't a threat, and doesn't think they can do so. As Young leaves, Varro shouts at him that they are no longer enemies. Once Young has left, Simeon simply says, "told you."
On the seed ship, Scott asks if Brody and Volker have made any progress. They have, so he decides to take Greer and do some exploring. Brody is fine with it. Meanwhile, Eli asks if he's reading some data on his panel right. Rush dismissively states that he's probably reading it wrong if he needs confirmation, but he insists that someone check out the power readings he's monitoring. Park comes over to check his findings, surprised by what she sees, and thinks that Rush needs to see it.
In the Hydroponics lab, Wray is watering the plants. Young comes in, having determined that she informed the prisoners of the seed ship. She claims they had a right to know, but he responds that, as prisoners who attacked the ship, they have no rights. Wray states that they have to live with them, but Young doesn't think so. She notes that there are only a handful of them left, and that they made a deal to provide Intel to Homeworld Command so they would get to stay on the ship. Young counters that Homeworld Command doesn't have to live with the deal. Wray believes that this is why they should be treating them better, since many of them aren't dangerous and had no choice but to work with the Lucian Alliance. Young doesn't care; his first concern is to the crew, and he doesn't want to risk their welfare for the sake of these prisoners. Wray notes it's not just their lives at risk; the planned attack on Earth by the Alliance has been confirmed, and the prisoners may have information to avert it. Young thinks they could be supplying false information, but Wray believes it's worth the risk. Wray tries to talk about the how the last few days have been hard on him, but Young interrupts, simply asking her to be more careful with what information she gives the prisoners. Wray tells him that a funeral service will be held for Riley later in the week. Young agrees to say a few words.
On the seed ship, Scott is taking guesses at who Greer has been involved with on the ship. His first guesses are Chang and Ramirez, the latter a red-headed civilian contractor. Greer tells him that he was involved with Park, noting that a hamstring injury he said he got doing squats in fact happened during his time with her.
Young walks into the control room, having been called by Eli. Eli informs him that, after checking and rechecking their findings, they have discovered that the seed ship has a sizable energy reserve, enough to dial the gate back to Earth. Rush tells Young that he needs to open certain conduits to set up a transfer, which can only be done from the seed ship. Young lets him leave. As Rush makes his way to the airlock, the Kino feed is suddenly cut off. Leaving it to Park, he moves to Rush's console so he can open the airlock.
At the airlock, Rush is met by Scott, who has something he believes Rush will want to see. Rush doesn't believe he'll be impressed. Scott brings him to the ship's gate factory, which houses many Stargates the ship had yet to launch before it stopped functioning. Rush takes a moment to admire it, then asks to be taken to the control center now that they're done with the "distraction"; Scott merely chuckles and obliges him. Meanwhile, Brody leaves Volker in the control room alone, as there is a damaged power relay on the next level which he wants to repair. After a few minutes, Volker hears something behind him and assumes its Brody. Turning around, he finds himself staring at an alien, who is merely staring back. Volker holds up his hands in surrender, trying to placate it, only to be confused when it collapses in front of him. He radios Scott to inform him of the alien's presence.
TJ is treating the prisoners for any remaining injuries. Simeon is first. She warns him that his cut will reopen if he's not careful. He responds that he can't help it because he likes to play rough. He asks her if she does, too, and tries to grab her arm. TJ quickly twists his arm and motions to the guard that she has everything in hand. She tells him that she does like to play rough, and asks if he can handle her while further twisting his wrist. Over the pain, he simply says "no." She responds, "I didn't think so," then releases him. Varro is next. She notes that his wound is healing nicely. He jokes that he was hoping for a manly scar, then apologizes for the loss of her child. He tells her about how he lost his wife when a shelter collapsed on her and six others. He finds it ironic that for all the risks he's taken and lived through, she would die simply for getting caught in the rain. He got over the grief by coming to the understanding that "life is loss." Over the radio, Young calls for TJ's assistance on the seed ship, not explaining exactly why.
Young informs TJ that the alien Volker found appears to be alive but unresponsive. He offers to have someone come in using the Long-range communication device, but TJ wants to examine the alien herself. Telford meets them at the airlock, wanting to join her. Young notes that she already has an escort, but Telford wants to do something, so he gives the go-ahead.
Scott and Greer have the alien under guard. TJ comes in and moves to examine it, but it suddenly wakes up, surprising her. Everyone trains their guns on it. After looking around, it moves to a sitting position and begins speaking in an incomprehensible language. Telford asks Rush for assistance, as the resident alien expert, but Rush notes that he works with different aliens. All he can recommend is to lower their weapons. Slowly, the alien stands up. Scott takes the initiative and tries to open a limited dialog, but the alien doesn't comprehend what he's doing, instead just sitting down again. Scott decides to try giving it some food. Volker has a piece of dried fruit, which Brody thinks tastes horrible, but Scott takes it anyway. He takes a bite to demonstrate, then hands the rest to the alien. It takes the piece of fruit, but it spits it back up, which Brody notes is because it tastes horrible. Rush recommends that they search for others of its kind. Scott, Telford, and Greer split up to search, leaving Rush and TJ with Airman Dunning and one other soldier. Scott and Telford eventually end up running into each other, while Greer finds about a dozen more open pods in another room. He radios Scott and Telford to inform them of the discovery.
In the control room, Eli follows Rush's instructions for diverting power from the seed ship to the gate. His efforts go smoothly, and they are ready to dial. As everyone packs up to leave through the gate, Wray orders everyone to gather in the gate room over the intercom, as they don't know how long they can hold the connection to Earth.
As Young heads for the gate room, Telford informs him of the alien presence. Rush assumes them to be some sort of research team left to study the ship. Unwilling to risk staying when their friends might come back, he recalls the team to the gate room. Rush refuses to go, since he needs to monitor the power transfer. Young is concerned about the alien, not accepting Rush's assessment that it is docile, but Rush insists that he has to stay. Young decides to send reinforcements against Rush's recommendations, so Rush compromises and offers to leave once the wormhole has connected. Dunning is left to guard Rush while everyone else is ordered back to the ship. Young wants the alien brought with them.
With most of the crew gathered in the gate room, they begin dialing Earth. Eli calls Rush to inform him that the dialing has begun, and is told to call again once a connection is made. However, the gate shuts down. Young calls Eli, who notes that the power transfer has been interrupted. He calls Rush, who can't offer an explanation. Dunning is suddenly stunned by an energy weapon, and Rush turns slowly to regard the attacker. Power then fluctuates throughout the ship; the power transfer has been reversed, drawing power away from Destiny, and if it continues Destiny will be drained beyond any ability to recover. Eli cannot reach Rush to correct the problem. The aliens have stunned him, and are operating the consoles. Telford, Scott, and Greer are already on their way to investigate. Young comes in to check on Eli and Park; their efforts to stop the drain aren't working. Young suggests cutting the connection, but they don't know how.
On the seed ship, the alien being escorted by TJ's group suddenly runs off, avoiding gunfire and crawling up a nearby ladder. TJ reports this to Young. Telford, Scott, and Greer arrive in the control center, which is now empty save for Rush and Dunning, both still unconscious. He radios Young to inform him of their condition. Young wants to disconnect the two ships, and orders Telford back to Destiny. Telford, however, sees this as their one way home and wants to fix it. Young doesn't want to risk the lives of the crew for a chance to dial home, but Telford just asks him to put Eli on. He thinks that he can reverse the transfer from the control center, which Eli believes is possible, and tells Eli to walk him through it. Telford orders Scott and Greer to evacuate Rush and Dunning, ignoring the threat the aliens still pose. He has 15 minutes to correct the problem.
TJ's team makes it through the airlock, only to have the door seal behind them. Elsewhere, Scott and Greer continue to drag Rush and Dunning when the path to the control center is sealed by another door. Scott tells Greer to ignore it and keep moving. At the airlock, the soldiers are unable to open the door when it suddenly opened from the other side. They train their weapons, but it's Scott, Greer, Rush, and Dunning, the latter two having regained consciousness. Scott orders everyone to fall back, and Rush immediately leaves the group behind.
Telford is making progress in reversing the power drain, but time is running out and Young wants to know if they can break the connection. Park tells him that they need Rush. He asks Scott to get Rush for him, but Rush is nowhere to be found. Eli convinces Young that disconnecting is not an option with so little time, and so their only hope is Telford. Telford is nearly finished rerouting power, but the ship begins shaking; Destiny is disengaging from the seed ship. Young looks to Eli and Park, but they aren't responsible. From the bridge, Rush has undocked the two ships. He tells Gloria that he had no choice. She asks if he did it to save the crew or to save his dream. With Destiny preparing to jump to FTL, Young informs Telford that they have no way of retrieving him. Telford tells him to take care of the crew and himself. Destiny jumps to FTL, and Telford calls over the radio to see if they're still there. Now alone, he is confronted by the aliens.
TJ delivers some blankets to the prisoners in gratitude for Varro making sure she was cared for during the incursion, even though he didn't have to. Varro responds that he did have to. She thanks him, and leaves. Simeon watches from the back wall. Eli sits alone in his room, sulking. Young gets a bottle of Brody's liquor. Wray and Greer pack up Riley's belongings. Chloe writes on a notepad, stopping to examine her leg. Rush sits alone on the bridge.

Awakening Outtake
The title was revealed by Joseph Mallozzi's weblog on January 10, 2009, where the first draft has been written. He came up with the original title "The Awakening" as it fit the description of what the episode is about. However, it has since changed to "Awakenings", before settling with "Awakening" (without the "s" at the end).
Upon docking Destiny downloaded a large amount of data from the Seed ship's database.
This episode takes place approximately nine months after the events of "Air, Part 1".
Before the attempt to dial Earth, Colonel Everett Young says that Homeworld Command is expecting them. This may suggest that the Stargate now resides at Homeworld Command. However, it is more likely that the gate is still at Stargate Command under Cheyenne Mountain and that Homeworld Command expecting them just means the people of the government agency in control of the Stargate are expecting them.
Spoiler: As seen in "Twin Destinies", this galaxy had been seeded with Stargates over 2,000 years ago. This indicates that this Seed ship has been stranded there for over 2,000 years.
When Lt. Matthew Scott and MSgt. Ronald Greer reveal the Stargate manufacturing room of the Seed ship to Dr. Nicholas Rush, the musical accompaniment was somewhat reminiscent of the Stargate SG-1 theme music. Likely symbolically linking the discovery and the genesis of the Stargates being manufactured with the discovery of Earth's gate and the genesis of the television franchise.
The song that played at the end of the episode was "Sort Of Revolution" by Fink.
The cost of the special effects for this episode was larger than expected, and thus parts of the episode were trimmed to bring it down to a more reasonable, but still large cost.
During the initial set up for the first five episodes, the episode (written by Mallozzi) is the third episode in the second season, but would be the fourth to be filmed with "Pathogen" filming first to give director Robert Carlyle time to prepare.
Goofs Edit
When the crew begin dialing the Stargate, the gate starts producing the spinning sound effect before it even begins spinning.

German terrorist 'killed by drone'
7 Oct, 2011 Updated Fri 7 Oct 2011 09:39 CEST
A German terrorist who helped found a group dedicated to attacking Germans and Americans has been killed by an US drone in Pakistan, according to media reports.
According to Die Welt newspaper, Islamist sources say the 27-year-old Berliner named only as Fatil T., a and co-founder of a group called the "German Taliban Mujahideen" was killed recently by a US drone missile strike, although authorities say they cannot confirm it.
Fatil T. is said to have travelled to the Pakistan-Afghan region in 2009 after becoming radicalised as a university student. He changed from being a fun-loving teenager who drank alcohol and chased girls, to spending most of his time in mosques, according to Die Welt.
Although the young man sent relatives emails several months ago begging for financial help, he has not been heard from since, the newspaper reported.
Die Welt said Fail T. has appeared in propaganda videos in the past, including one in which he is seen gloating about allegedly shooting down a Pakistani helicopter.
A number of Germans have travelled in the past to Afghanistan and Pakistan to take up fighting against Western forces.
In September 2009, the British newspaper The Daily Telegraph reported that officials had even found a "village" of extremists made up entirely of white Germans on the Pakistan-Afghanistan frontier.

Blogger Awards 2019
Mira Rajput Reacts to Her Former Classmate's Open Letter Slamming Her...
...over that controversial puppy-analogy.
By Nitya Kanoria
Shahid Kapoor and his family have taken the world by storm! Fans can't get enough of Mira Rajput, and their adorable baby, Misha. Ever since their grand wedding, Mira has been making headlines for various reasons–from being one of the hottest couples in Bollywood, to her famous 'puppy analogy'.
If you've been living under a rock and have no idea what we're talking about. Here's the low-down:
Mira made quite an 'insensitive' comment on Women's Day, earlier this year, that disappointed a lot of fans.
In an interview the new mother had said, "I love being at home, I love being a mother to my child, I wouldn't want to spend one hour a day with my child and rush off to work, why did I have her? She is not a puppy...I want to be there for her as a mother."
"Feminism isn't woman versus man. It's about equality. A new wave of feminism has come that is aggressive...I feel it's destructive.
"There's a new term called 'feminazi', which is the female equivalent of a chauvinist. I think there should be harmony between the two sexes and equilibrium," she explained.
Her bold statement did not go down well with the public, and she received a lot of social-media backlash–including an open letter from working moms, and even her old classmate.
Mira's former college batch-mate took to Facebook and slammed her notion of feminism with this brutal post:
Dear Mira,
Having watched your interview, I feel extremely enraged today. I've spent three years in the same college and batch as you. I can say today with confidence that your idea of feminism is extremely flawed. Seeing you walk around with your posse in college, belittling women who were not skinny enough or did not subscribe to your fashion 'standards' makes me wonder what you ever did to have a moral high ground over anyone at any point. Your narrow world view is astounding to say the least. And not to forget, how your statement about working mothers takes us years back in reaching actual empowerment of which you seem to know nothing.
With lots of aggression,
An informed feminist
Ever since, we've been waiting for Mira to clear the air about this anonymous classmate, and now she finally has!
Speaking to a leading tabloid, Mira said, "I don't even know that person. It was an open letter [the post]. I had a great set of friends in college. When there is an opportunity, people raise their hand and speak. But I am who I am."
Well said Mira, let the haters hate.

Why might some students convert their political interests into activism when others do not? There is a strong need to understand the changing dynamics of contemporary youth participation: how they engage, what repertoires are considered efficacious, and their motivations to get involved.This book uses the 2010/11 UK student protests against fees and cuts as a case study for analysing some of the key paths and barriers to political participation today. These paths and barriers – which include an individual's family socialisation, network positioning, and group identification (and dis-identification) – help us explain why some people convert their political sympathies and interests into action, and why others do not. Drawing on an original survey dataset of students, the book shows how and why students responded in the way that they did, whether by occupying buildings, joining marches, signing petitions, or not participating at all. Considering this in the context of other student movements across the globe, the book's combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, and its theoretical contribution provide a more holistic picture of student protest than is found in existing studies.

Mirena is a prescription-only intrauterine delivery (IUD) system progestogen contraceptive.
Mirena is a reversible levonorgestrel-releasing contraceptive that works by changing the lining of the uterus, altering cervical mucus and making it difficult for sperm to enter the uterus. It is particularly helpful for women with idiopathic menorrhagia (heavy menstrual flow) and can also protect against endometrial hyperplasia during oestrogen replacement therapy in postmenopausal women.
Mirena is inserted in the uterine cavity of women of a fertile age, within seven days of the onset of menstruation. Women using Mirena should be encouraged to give up smoking.
Mirena contains levonorgestrel 52 milligrams and releases approximately 20 micrograms each day. Mirena should only be inserted by a healthcare professional.
Mirena is contraindicated in women with impaired liver function or various cervical/uterine conditions. Mirena should be used with caution in postmenopausal women with advanced uterine atrophy and although it can be used in diabetics, it is important that blood sugar levels are carefully monitored.
Mirena should not be used in women who are pregnant. There are no known effects of Mirena on driving ability.


← SCI/TECH: Does privacy exist in the digital age?
For years, Progress Festival has occurred during the Virginia Tech spring semester. This year the festival will take place on May 18-20, after final exams and graduation. This schedule change could result in a smaller share of the student population attending the festival, which has roots in the student community.
Food supplies also factor into the schedule shift. Clockwood envisions the festival as a place where you can get everything, including sustenance. According to him, moving the festival back further into harvest season means the festival can rely on locally sourced organic foods.
Additionally, Clockwood believes turnout would be hurt by the crowded Spring Semester this year. He says that the festival would have to contend with the Virginia Tech Spring Football Game, Radford University final exams, and Virginia Tech final exams.
Final exams, graduation, and numerous high profile Blacksburg events have forced Blacksburg DIY Music organizers to adjust their normal plans. They just hope that the gamble pays off.

Q: Advantages of using service in a remote process in Android
*

*What are the advantages of using remote service over Local Service?

*If we run service in remote process does this have any special priority when Android kills process due to memory constraints?

*Does service running in remote process have special capabilities than service running in the same process?

*If remote process uses more CPU and memory this would be a disadvantage. So in what case/requirement we MUST go to remote process?

A: Local service can be accessed only with in the application in which it is present.
But Remote service can be used in other applications also.
Remote service is more stable in the sense even if the service is crashed, it would not affect the application.

Hammer Series expands to Colombia and adds women's event
by Sonia Blair
The Hammer Series is expanding in 2020 with the team-vs-team series adding a Colombian leg and its maiden women's event.
The inaugural Hammer Colombia will take place on February 7-9 in Pereira, the capital of the Risaralda department and part of the so-called "Coffee Triangle" of Colombia. The first ever women's Hammer Series event will run on the same days as the new men's event. In 2021 and 2022, the series will explore the Quindío and Caldas regions respectively to show off more of the "Coffee Triangle".
Colombian cyclist Esteban Chaves said he is excited about the event coming to his home country in 2020. "The Colombian coffee area is one of the most beautiful ones we have — bringing together cycling and coffee is a fantastic mix," said Chaves. "I can't wait to show off my culture, my people, my country, my food and everything beautiful about this place."
Fellow Mitchelton-Scott racer Annamiek Van Vleuten also said she was looking forward to racing in Colombia next year at the first women's event in the series' history. "I'm very happy we can race the Hammer Series, especially with live broadcasting and streaming online," she said. "It's very good for women's cycling."
Velon CEO Graham Barlett echoed Van Vleuten's sentiment, saying a women's Hammer Series had long been on the cards. "Hammer racing goes from strength to strength and we're particularly proud to announce a women's race in addition to the men's," he said. "For a long time we've wanted to offer a Hammer race for women and with such strong backing from our hosts in Colombia we've finally been able to achieve that."
Each Hammer Series event consists of three races where teams compete against one another to determine a winner, rather than individual riders racing against each other. The three Hammer disciplines — the Climb, Sprint, and Chase — all take place on short circuits which are covered multiple times.
Organised by Velon, the Hammer Series was first raced in 2017 with one event (in Limburg) before expanding to a three-race event (Stavanger, Limburg and Hong Kong) in 2018. The initial event was won by Team Sky while Mitchelton-Scott claimed the series victory in 2018.
Two races have already been held in the 2019 series, with Jumbo-Visma winning Hammer Stavanger (in Norway) and Deceuninck-QuickStep wining Hammer Limburg (in The Netherlands). The final race of the year will be held in Hong Kong in October. Deceuninck Quick-Step is leading the series overall so far.

Harry Wilson sets sights on Man United scalp after first goal of Derby loan
Derby's on-loan Liverpool winger Harry Wilson has thanked fans for comparing him to Fernando Torres and expressed his desire to emulate him on the pitch.
Wilson scored the opener in the Rams' 3-1 win against Brentford and was only denied a second goal by a fine Daniel Bentley save as Derby climbed back into the top six.
Having received lots of messages from Liverpool fans, Wilson said he was flattered by the comparisons.
When asked about being called the Scouse Torres, Wilson said: "To be fair I've had that quite a lot on social media.
"I don't see it personally but I think a lot of fans do.
"I'd be delighted if I could achieve half of what he has done, his goalscoring record, the trophies he has won as well."
Torres has won the World Cup and two European Championships with Spain and in a glittering club career with Atletico Madrid, Liverpool, Chelsea and AC Milan added the Champions League, two Europa League wins and the FA Cup.
Wilson, by comparison, has a handful of goals in loan spells with Crewe, Hull and Derby but did become the youngest ever Wales international in October 2013 aged 16 years and 207 days when he won the first of his four caps to date.
Wilson has played at Old Trafford for Liverpool U23s but if he gets selected to face Jose Mourinho's side in the League Cup on Tuesday, he would love to put a smile on the faces of Liverpool fans.
He said: "I'm really looking forward to going there in a first-team game and putting in a good performance.
"I think if we play the way we have in the last couple of games we can go there, put in a good performance and get a positive result.
"Every Liverpool fan and Liverpool player would love to go to Old Trafford and win every time we go there but we know they are a good team and we will have to be on top of our game."

Olive has had a long history of strong and healthy service by the deacon body. There is a special bond between the Pastor, staff and the deacons in the serving, shepherding, and leading of God's church. Olive is Pastor led and deacon served and the deacons serve in a multitude of ways, such as providing affirmation of the Pastor's leadership, giving counsel in decision making, assisting with the widow ministry, serving during the Wednesday night meals, and helping to provide a secure environment for the worship and activities of the church. Additionally each individual deacon is expected and has been found to be active in serving in specific areas of the church.


I've taken these courses and very recently, and I got an A in all of them. I'd be glad to help you in any way I can!
I'm a Broadcast & Digital Journalism major. I'm a freshman with sophomore standing and a 3.94 GPA. I'm involved with different radio stations on campus, I love sports and movies, and some day I hope to be able to broadcast sports. I acted in plays and musicals throughout high school, and actually received an award for my acting.
My availability varies from day-to-day, but I'm free from 1:00-4:00 Tuesdays and Thursday. I'm also free most of the day Fridays.


My 2-year-old grandson nearly died when he ate some aspirin tablets. I'm wondering whether you would address this topic, for many people have young children to care for.
Many medicines purchased over the counter can be fatal if taken in overdose amounts or by young children. The flavoring and color of some liquid medicines can make them attractive to small children, particularly if they resemble the appearance of candy.
Aspirin can prove lethal to small children by causing severe acidosis and metabolic disturbances. Iron tablets and, of course, sleeping pills or medicines prescribed for high blood pressure or diabetes also can be acutely poisonous to children.
Children will taste and swallow strange substances. I will never forget a 2-year-old boy who died of arsenic poisoning just as he crossed the threshold of the hospital. His father had been laying a patio and was sprinkling an arsenic-containing compound on the prepared pad as he laid each flagstone. The little boy walked up behind him, and before the father realized what was happening, took a swig of the solution. The father called the doctor, who ill-advisedly told them to "watch" the lad. The parents did, but only to see him become gravely ill. Then, in a frantic rush, they brought him to the hospital—but it was too late to save him.
Children have been know to drink kerosene or gasoline, or sometimes they just cough and inhale the liquid and succumb to what is called "liquid pneumonia." Highly corrosive substances that are used to unplug clogged drains can cause severe damage to the esophagus and stomach, and may severely damage, if not kill, a child. Alcohol—especially methylated spirits—can cause blindness, and carbon tetrachloride causes acute liver necrosis.
If a person swallows something poisonous, it's vital to call a local medical emergency number immediately. Make sure you can give the person's age, the name of the substance ingested, how much was taken, when it was swallowed, whether the person has vomited, and how long it will take to get to the nearest medical facility.
In the United States a call to 1-800-222-1222 will reach the regional poison control center; a call to 9-1-1 will connect you to emergency services. Be aware of your region's poison control center, and keep contact information readily available. Follow the instructions of the poison control center. They have much more precise information at their fingertips than does the average family doctor.
Inducing of vomiting should be done only on medical advice, because some substances—such as gasoline or kerosene—may be dangerous when vomited. Never induce vomiting in an unconscious patient. If a person stops breathing, maintain an open airway and breathe for them with artificial respiration. Take the poison container and any vomitus to the hospital.
Keep poisoned persons with their head down, lying on their left side, while transporting to the hospital, so as to avoid inhalation of any vomitus.
Poison-proofing the house is necessary when there are small children who either live in or visit the home. Closets should be fitted with childproof latches or locks. Dangerous substances must be stored out of the reach of toddlers. This means a serious reappraisal of substances kept beneath the sink, such as chlorine bleach, dishwasher detergents, rust remover, strong acids, and alkali. The medicine cabinet should be high and locked.
The garage is another dangerous area for the storage of substances such as gasoline, paint thinner, and charcoal lighter fluid. Never place poisons in bottles that have held fruit drinks or soda, as children may easily confuse them with the real thing.
Being extremely careful with anything that can cause harm to children is the key to prevention.


Wolf Alice have won the 2018 Mercury Music Prize for their second album, 2017's 'Visions Of A Life'.

The band collected the winner's trophy and cheque for £25,000, and then performed a song from the winning album 'Don't Delete the Kisses' to a standing ovation from the audience.
Radio 1 DJ Annie Mac hosted the ceremony, which featured performances from many of the 12 nominees including Wolf Alice.
Other artists performing included Everything Everything, Lily Allen, Florence + The Machine, Jorja Smith, King Krule, Nadine Shah, Novelist, jazz group Sons Of Kemet, and Everything Is Recorded – the project by XL Recordings boss Richard Russell each played one track from their shortlisted album.

Calls with Paul: The Kitchen Design Podcast. Episode 1
Call in to our kitchen cabinet and design helpline Fridays 2-4 pm Eastern Standard Time at 610-500-4071.
Paul talks with Michael who has a kitchen design just a little too tight. Or as Paul says "ten pounds of sausage in an eight pound wrapper." Paul also talks about The IKEA Effect which is a common psychological delusion that all kitchen designers must face daily from their customers. For those curious:
The IKEA effect was identified and named by Michael I. Norton of Harvard Business School, Daniel Mochon of Yale, and Dan Ariely of Duke, who published the results of three studies in 2011. In these studies, researchers found that consumers valued their own work product far above what would be considered reasonable or rational. For example, the majority of people attempting origami for the first time irrationally rated their own creations above those of origami masters.
Listen Below:
Paul's bio from the magazine Kitchen and Bath Design News:
Paul McAlary possesses a voice that resonates far beyond the boundaries of Philadelphia's western suburbs and the city's prestigious Main Line – the location of his well-established Delaware Valley design firm. McAlary, president and senior designer of Bala Cynwyd, PA-based Main Line Kitchen Design, is an internationally recognized kitchen design authority who has won more than a dozen local and national design awards, including being named a 2017 Viking Appliances Designer of Distinction.
Beyond his achievements as a designer, McAlary has also forged a burgeoning reputation as the creative force behind the "Main Line Kitchen Design Blog," a unique online forum and social media resource that is read by more than 40,000 people each month and has been honored as one of the top kitchen design blogs in the world. Main Line Kitchen Design's videos and blogs address a wide range of kitchen/bath-related topics aimed at sparking a constructive exchange of ideas among both consumers and design professionals.
McAlary, whose kitchens and comments often appear in trade magazines and on social media sites, is sometimes at odds with the kitchen design establishment, but he maintains a distinct sense of humor and is known as a fierce advocate for design standards, ethics and transparency in the kitchen design trade.

What Temp Should I Grill Chicken? (Best solution)
The temperature of your grill should be approximately 350 degrees Fahrenheit in its whole. This ensures that your chicken will be juicy and tasty from beginning to end! Check the temperature of your chicken breast while it cooks by inserting a good internal thermometer into the thickest section of the breast.
How hot should the grill be for chicken?
For chicken breasts, preheat your grill to between 425 and 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
How long should I grill chicken at 400?
Every cut should be grilled to perfection.
Boneless and skinless chicken breasts are available. Per side, allow 5 to 6 minutes of preparation time. Temperature: rather hot (400 degrees Fahrenheit)
Cook over direct heat until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Does chicken really need to be 165?
Chicken Breasts that have been deboned and skinned Per side, allow 5 to 6 minutes of cooking time. (400 degrees Fahrenheit) Medium-high temperature 165 degrees Fahrenheit is the ideal temperature to cook at.
Is chicken done at 165 degrees?
When the internal temperature of the chicken hits 165 degrees Fahrenheit (75 degrees Celsius), it is finished cooking. 165oF is the safe internal temperature for all cuts of meat, including white meat such as chicken breasts and wings and dark meat such as drumsticks and thighs. This temperature is consistent independent of cooking method, cooking temperature, or cut of meat.
How long do you grill chicken at 350 degrees?
According on the size of your chicken, this should take around 20-25 minutes if you can keep your grill temperature at 350 degrees F.
See also: How Long To Grill Hot Dogs? (Perfect answer)
The temperature of 375 degrees is a decent rule of thumb. Not all chicken breasts are made equal; some are larger and thicker in comparison to other types of chicken. However, an 8-ounce chicken breast should be cooked for around 30 minutes at 375 degrees. The juices from your chicken breast will flow clear when it is fully cooked through.
How long do I grill chicken?
In conclusion, the average grilling time for all chicken cuts is 10 to 12 ounces bone-in chicken breast, cooked for 30 to 40 minutes over indirect medium heat (350 degrees Fahrenheit). 30 to 40 minutes over indirect medium heat (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for a bone-in leg or thigh 4 ounces of boneless, skinless thigh cooked for 8 to 10 minutes over direct high heat (450 – 650 degrees Fahrenheit).
Is chicken OK at 160 degrees?
It is the most accurate method of determining when the chicken is done. The ideal internal temperature for dark meat is 165 degrees Fahrenheit, whereas for white meat it is 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Alternatively, if you don't have access to an instant-read thermometer, you may always make a little incision into the centre to ensure that it is just about opaque in the middle.
Is chicken at 145 Safe?
When heated to 145 degrees, the harmful bacteria will still be eliminated; however, it will take a longer time. If the temperature remains at 145 degrees for at least 9 minutes, the chicken should be considered safe to consume. Salmonella, in fact, may be killed at temperatures as low as 136 degrees Fahrenheit.
See also: How To Clean Outside Of Grill? (Solved)
Is chicken done at 165 or 180?
When heated to 145 degrees, the harmful bacteria will still be eliminated; however, the process will take longer. It should be okay to consume the chicken if the temperature remains constant at 145 degrees for at least 9 minutes. Even at temperatures as low as 136 degrees, salmonella is killed off.
Can you eat chicken at 150 degrees?
The simple answer is 150 degrees Fahrenheit for at least 3 minutes for white meat and 175 degrees Fahrenheit for dark flesh for juicy, thoroughly cooked chicken.
Is 140 degrees OK for chicken?
As long as the chicken remains at this temperature for at least 26 minutes, the temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60 degrees Celsius) is COMPLETELY TOLERABLE. 165 degrees Celsius is the temperature used by the FDA and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency since it does not need core temperature monitoring and timing.

See also Vitruvian module on Wikipedia; module on Wiktionary; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
MODULE (Lat. modulus, a measure), in architecture, the semi-diameter of the column at its base; the term was first set forth by Vitruvius (iv. 3), and was generally employed by the architects of the Italian revival to determine the relative proportions of the various parts of a columnar ordinance. The module was divided by the revivalists into thirty parts, called minutes, allowing of much greater accuracy than was thought necessary by Vitruvius, whose subdivision was usually six parts. The tendency now is to adopt the whole diameter instead of the semi-diameter when determining the height of the column or entablature or any of their subdivisions. The term module is also applied in hydraulics (q.v.) to a contrivance for regulating the supply of water from an irrigation channel.

As we grow we are finding that we are getting requests to loan/provide equipment to fellow 'Lary's'. We are most certainly out to help our fellow sufferers but our main goal is to help laryngectomy sufferers through the provision of the vital equipment requested by ENT departments nationwide.
However, we have decided that we can help our fellow Lary's who go travelling as we will be suggesting various bits & pieces of equipment essential to 'lary travel'; ie, holidays/short breaks etc.
For instance we now have purchased a lightweight, portable nebuliser (battery operated & pocket sized) for travelling purposes (http://www.evergreen-nebulizers.co.uk/omron/microairu22.html) as recommended by our friends at NALC and we definitely suggest that all Lary's purchase one of these. They are lightweight, easy to assemble for action (under 2 mins) and certainly 'hit the spot!
As these items are in the region of between £80.00 – £100.00 it free's you from the worry of carrying around a larger, plug in type nebuliser.
This little beauty is ideal for travelling anywhere as it runs quite happily on a pair of AA Batteries and if used twice per day for approximately half an hour per session, will last 7-8 days. No need to worry about finding plug sockets, simply keep a spare pair of AA batteries handy!
An additional major benefit of the U22 is its discreet, virtually silent operation which is perfect in the early hours, or for those trips to the cinema, theatre and shops. In fact, we have a couple of members that can quite easily talk on the telephone whilst the "U 22″ is actually running, that's how quiet & discreet it really is!
May we be so bold as to suggest that you lay out about £40 and have your own plug-in nebuliser at home 'just in case'. I never bothered but I wish I had! When my nebuliser suddenly conked out it was a mad dash to get to the hospital before 5pm and the weekend started-not nice. We have since purchased 6 of these little beauties for our local hospital and very grateful they were too!
The "AirMed 1000" is a cracking little nebuliser that works on plug socket type power but does not deafen you when using. It provides a powerful jet of vapours straight into the stoma which keeps 'the tubes' clear. In my book one of these is essential for survival. We found that 'Williams medical Supplies' were most accomodating and therefore have no qualms whatsoever in putting their name forward as a trusted supplier. Browse their website, you would be amazed at the number of thins they actually provide!


A lightweight jersey maxi dress is the perfect way to save my hot and bothered arse in un-air-conditioned Orange County this summer (hence, an extensive collection in my closet), and an oversized bow adds a fun little punch to the back of this one. From the front, this basic black maxi is the perfect canvas for layered statement jewelry, and easy sandals and a go-to favorite clutch finish the look. Hope everyone has an amazing weekend!
What an amazing dress and it looks fabulous on you. Also loving your clutch.

Kedarnath Controversy: Director Abhishek Kapoor & Producer Ronnie Screwvala BREAK Their Silence
The political parties have brought some issues as they feel the film promotes Love Jihaad.
Sneha Hiro
Kedarnath Controversy: There are some films which become talk of the town right from its inception, and Kedarnath is one such film. Be it, its earlier producer Prernaa Arora or the current controversy about the ban on film; the film has faced a lot of issues. Directed by Abhishek Kapoor, Kedarnath stars debutant Sara Ali Khan and Sushant Singh Rajput in the lead role.
Since the story revolves around Sara, who plays a Hindu, and Sushant, who plays a Muslim character, there has been a lot of objections being raised on it. The political parties have brought some issues as they feel the film promotes Love Jihaad.
Today, the whole team of Kedarnath was present at the trailer launch event where the producer Ronnie Screwvala and director Abhishek Kapoor made the clarifications on the same. Speaking about it, Ronnie said, "Firstly, I would like to clarify that till date nobody has approached us. Secondly, our role is to get the film censored. Thirdly, we all are creative people, we all are Indians first and I don't think there's anything in the movie. If anyone has a point of view, like most of the films get into controversy it only starts before watching the film. So I don't know how after watching a 60 seconds of watching something, somebody has made an opinion. We haven't heard about it, our job is to get it to the censors. As far as we are concerned, let somebody comment after they have seen the film, we will be happy to get a feedback."

Further adding to this, Kapoor said that there's nothing controversial in the film. He said, "When everyone will watch the film, they will know that there is nothing controversial in it. It's all about love and faith. I don't think it will hurt anyone."
Well, the makers have now made it very clear. Hope the people decide what's right after watching the film. Kedarnath is slated to hit the theatres on December 7, 2018.

Our 2015 installation of the Chinese-themed legacy garden at the Cairns Botanical Gardens is looking great.
The works included turf, porphyry cobble stone paving, stepping stones, concreting, garden beds, garden edge, tree planting, sourcing and installing ornamental bamboo species and large imported marble boulders.
The logistics of sourcing and installing mature ornamental bamboo and large marble boulders proved to be a challenge, but we think you'll agree that the results are well worth it!
Overview: Install Chinese-themed legacy garden in public botanic garden space.

'Cars 3' Cast Adds Nathan Fillion, Kerry Washington, and Lea Delaria
March 9, 2017 by Samad Rizvi Leave a Comment
Cars 3 has been in development for a few years now but there is much that we still do not know. We do not know much about the story other than that the film focuses on Lightning McQueen coming to terms with how the next generation of cars are faster and more technologically advanced. We have met some of the new characters in the film, which was only a tease because a few more characters have just been unveiled. Find details and images after the break, along with a new poster that has made its way online.
Firefly. Orange Is The New Black. Scandal. All three of these series have dedicated fanbases. Each of the shows have ensemble casts with actors who have become fairly well-known in the world of television. An actor from each of these shows has now joined the cast of the upcoming Cars 3 – Nathan Fillion, Lea Delaria, and Kerry Washington. Fillion is no stranger to Pixar, as he previously voiced Johnny Worthington in Monsters University.
Below are images of the characters these three actors will be voicing:
Sterling (voiced by Nathan Fillion)
Sterling is a brilliant businesscar who runs Rust-eze Racing Center—one of the most successful elite training facilities in the country. Despite his dapper appearance and obvious wealth, Sterling comes across as unassuming and laid back. But business is business, and Sterling is driven to ensure all of his investments pay off. ©2017 Disney•Pixar. All Rights Reserved.
Natalie Certain (voiced by Kerry Washinton)
Natalie Certain is a highly respected statistical analyst who knows her numbers. Book-smart and mathematically gifted, Certain is a fresh voice in the racing world. While she may earn top marks in her ability to evaluate a racer's stats, she could be underestimating the importance of determination. ©2017 Disney•Pixar. All Rights Reserved.
Miss Fritter (voiced by Lea Delaria)
Miss Fritter loves the smash-and-crash life of demolition derby. A local legend at the Thunder Hollow Speedway, Fritter's formidable school-bus size is intimidating, but it's her smoke stacks of doom, razor-sharp stop sign and crazy collection of her victims' license plates that usually steers her opponents in the other direction. ©2017 Disney•Pixar. All Rights Reserved.
A new poster for the film also made its debut (via Oh My Disney!):
As the poster indicates, Cars 3 races into North American theaters on June 16th.

WHY? European Elections 2019 are drawing nearer and during the last EP elections only 28 % of 18-24 year-olds cast their ballot! How can we encourage young people to get involved in the political process?
WHAT? This day-long conference will consist of four interactive workshops and a panel discussion.
2019 European Election : What place for youth ?
Divided into a workshop part in the morning and afternoon and a panel discussion in the late afternoon, this interactive event aims to engage dialogue with young people on Political Campaigning in order to encourage them to get involved in politics as statistics show that our youth is generally unrepresented but at the same time the most affected in our society.
We want to familiarize youth with the challenges and hot topics of the 2019 EU elections and we aim to show ways how the next generation can engage in this process. Hence, we want to pay special attention to topics, such as the special challenges and opportunities of the digital era in electoral Campaigning, the myth of "fake news", how to make political communication more "bottom-up" through youth engagement etc.


Harebrained Schemes seeks a versatile UI Artist, specializing in computer games, to create a complex set of menus and interactions for BATTLETECH. This work will be focused around the "management" part of the game. The ideal candidate is already familiar with comparable experiences, such as the base management elements of XCOM or the management elements of Stellaris, and is excited about the prospect of creating clean, concise, and polished UI for a similar experience. If this sounds like you, please review the job description below and get in touch!
This is a 4-6 month, 40 hrs / week contract position. Because of the highly-collaborative nature of the work involved, the ability to work on-site at Harebrained Schemes' offices in Kirkland, Washington at least 20 hrs / week is required for consideration for this position.
The graphic design eye and software skills (Photoshop, Illustrator) to take good UX and turn it into polished, visually-pleasing vector UI based on the game's established UI art direction.
Enough working knowledge of Unity (or comparable technical aptitude) to accurately position and organize the various elements of each UI layout and prefab within the Unity Editor.
An end-to-end production mindset – your job is done when the game experience is working and polished, not when your mockup has been handed off.
An attention to, and passion for, all the little details and special case considerations that can take a user experience from acceptable to great.
You love working with others – 'cause you'll be stuck working with us, and we're a highly-collaborative bunch.

Update, April 3, 2011: You can now listen to this 30:00 radio show here.
The Artiness of Naughtiness, hosted by Toby Amies, aired on BBC Radio 4 on Friday, April 1, 2011. Until April 7, 2011, you can listen to it here.
As April Fools jokers hatch their plans, what's the secret to a perfect prank, asks broadcaster Toby Amies. And how far do the very best tricksters go in preparing their practical jokes?
This article is not a hoax. I promise you. It's a serious work about the practical joke.
How far would you go to pull off a prank? The dole queue? In 1987, a young British broadcaster called Chris Morris let off helium into the BBC Bristol studio, causing the newsreader's stories to reach a higher and higher pitch. Chris lost his job. And started his career in satire.
Would you risk prison? Pranks are often protests, against unfairness or authority or reality. And protest is increasingly risky in the 21st Century.

Keep it above the belt, stop short of total humiliation and, if possible, mix in some irony, some drama, maybe even a bogus call from the person"™s old flame or new boss. A good prank, of course, involves good stagecraft. But it also requires emotional intuition.
Psychologists have studied pranks for years, often in the context of harassment, bullying and all manner of malicious exclusion and prejudice.

Judge Leo Hart today jailed Barnett for 15 months, with 12 months suspended for 15 months.
He said it was a "bizarre" case and that Barnett had the dual aim of getting recognition for his work and sending an anti-terrorism message.
"You're an artist and believe yourself to be a good artist," Judge Hart said.
Judge Hart said Barnett's motives were not malicious but his behaviour was stupid and reckless.
He ordered Barnett to pay $6319 compensation to the police.

Hey all OB members, a little greeting from the french Pyrenees where we had a 3 days trip, mostly on vintage bikes. Note to myself : sleeping in the mountain by -6° when you only have a +10° sleeping bag is not clever, go buy some gear!
Nice nice man, which one is you?
nice one. Liked it in my motorcycle days much. Even as I was more of a naked bike kind of guy.
Very nice. I miss adventure riding.


Everyone's wondering who will be the first person to spot a whale.And where. And when. It's that once-a-year moment that's got all of southcentral Alaska buzzing.
Today, there are three harbor seals in the water just outside the Kenai Fjords Tours office. Staff can see them from their desks.
"Sea otters, sea Lions and seals are constant visitors to our waterfront and harbor, and I can observe them all winter long out of my office window," says Eric Simpson, Marine Operations Manager for Kenai Fjords Tours.
It's a quiet scene, but there's a hint of the excitement to come. This view is only going to get busier and busier as springs creeps towards Alaska.
PHOTO: The view from the Kenai Fjords Tours office in Seward.
The annual migration of dozens of species of wildlife is happening right now. Birds and whales—lots of them—are en route.
Out in the Pacific, humpback whales are heading north from Maui. Gray whales are off the coast of Vancouver Island coming from Mexico. They've all spent the winter in warm waters mating and giving birth, and getting their calves ready for the trip. Now they're hungry. And so they head north.
Longer, warmer days with more sunlight lead to large blooms of plankton in the waters of Resurrection Bay. The water color starts to change from blue-gray to brown-ish as the plankton grow. Bait fish come first to eat the tiny organisms floating and drifting in the bay. The bait fish are chased by migratory birds like Arctic terns, puffins and Murres. Then, come the whales.
Gray whales will be passing Kenai Fjords National Park starting in late March, on their way to the Bering and Chukchi seas. They're bottom feeders, so they like shallower water to be found further north. Millions of birds will pass by Kenai Fjords in the spring as well, making their way to the north slope of Alaska to feast, breed and give birth.
Loads of species will stick around the Gulf of Alaska for the summer. Humpback and Fin whales will even take up summer residence in area. But in spring, the action is intense.
On the land, Eric says he has his eye out for the birds.
"Rafts of hundreds of Murres begin forming up off of their nesting locations on some of the remote island and headlands," he says. "Kittiwakes begin building nests. Arctic turns appear in the harbor, having flown up from the Antarctic. Puffins are spotted in ever increasing numbers."
So the arrival of such abundant bird life is a precursor to the marine wildlife and the excitement to come.
"Finally, humpbacks whales appear and begin feeding up at the head of the bay when the hooligan begin running."
On land, the Kenai Fjords Tours team is busy getting its fleet ready. Boats have been cleaned, maintenance to-do-lists checked off. Captains are migrating too—booking their flights back from places like Maui where they spend the winters watching the whales.
Days are getting longer, and restaurants in town—many of which shut their doors for the winter—are starting to open.
What's Eric most looking forward to about springtime?
"Drying my boots out!," says the Alaskan. "That, and riding my bike to and from work without a headlamp.
Bring on the spring in Seward!
Springtime in southcentral Alaska is a season of anticipation. Few of the world's ecosystems can match the stark seasonality.
For Alaskans, it often feels like spring is just for them. Seward is an amazing weekend get-away from Anchorage—it's a great day trip or weekend get-away.
Eric says Seward is starting to see the annual influx of seasonal residents and tourists. "The population of the town is growing right now," he says.
In April and May, there are fewer tourists, hardly any 'traffic' on the highway and lots of natural excitement to witness once you get here. It's an amazing time of year in an amazing place.
