Just Reduced! This Beautiful and Very Fine two volume set is a descriptive catalog of the Library accumulated by famed collector C.H.Clarke. It is a Privately Printed Limited Edition of 100 copies and and this copy is number 8. The books are gorgeously bound in three-quarter leather over marbled boards with Fine endpapers of marbled design that match the covers.The books are quarto in size. There are sewn in silk bookribbons and the ribbon in volume one is unattached but fully present. The spines are leather and are decorated profusely in gilt with six compartments and gilt decoration in each one. The title lettering on the spine is also in gilt and it is still bright and beautiful. This two-volume descriptive catalog lists hundreds of books that were in one of the most significant collections in history. The catalog is pure enjoyment to page through as well as a very important reference for any collector. This is because it is interesting enough for the casual reader while being the work of a very capable bibliophile. This library is of unique interest and this set is very rare. The books can be used to research points of issue and many interesting pieces of information about the book you are checking. As an example of the thoroughness with which this book was done it is only necessary to quote from the prefatory note what is said of the sub-divisions. "The catalog is divided into three parts: A titular descriptive list of the books in the Library followed by bibliographical and other notes detailing their scope and the date of original publication etc. Then there is a list of the short titles of books arranged under 'subjects'. There is also a general index, so arranged that the reader may readily ascertain what works or portions of works relate to any particular matter". Over all this is an entertaining manner in which the curious information has been conveyed. The notes are overflowing with odd bits of learning which take on an added interest from their place in the context alongside all that is essential to know about the imprint, degree of rareness, binding and history of any given work. It includes the mechanism of books, binding, paper, type, size, edition, and printer. It has a wealth of bibliographical, biographical, and literary description, which makes known every characteristic alike of author and book. Consequentially as a book of reference this set has very special value and interest to the book collector. It covers many of the works of famous bookbinders and includes the best of printing and binding and whatever is of bibliographical value. There is very little wear to the books as some of the corners show a very small worn spot and there is tiny wear to the extreme bottom of the spine of volume two. It is not visible looking at the spine of the books. I include with this wonderful set newspaper clippings of reviews of the catalog when it was first published . They come from an 1888 newspaper and are hardly toned from age. Also present is the original bookbinder's label unattached and in pristine condition. The book-binders were Pawson and Nicholson who were working in Philadelphia and were very well known as they are today. These books look incredible on the shelf and will serve any booklover or book collector or any lover of beautiful binding and presentation. Rare and beautiful. We are pleased to send pictures on request.

Ashton Hagans had a career night in a return to his home state.
The Kentucky freshman guard scored a career-high 23 points to lead the 12th-ranked Wildcats to a 69-49 win over Georgia Tuesday night in Athens.
Hagans, Georgia's Gatorade Player of the Year and Mr. Basketball last season, de-committed from the Bulldogs after a coaching change last spring and chose to sign with Kentucky. The move has produced big dividends for both parties.
As for his most recent performance, Hagans credited his teammates for keeping him on an even keel.
Hagans, the reigning Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Week, added four assists, five rebounds and three steals for the Wildcats, who increased their conference winning streak to three games and notched their 12th consecutive victory over the Bulldogs.
Hagans is the first player in school history to collect at least three steals in six straight games.
Kentucky (13-3, 3-1) trailed by double figures in its last two conference games but never trailed by no more than five points. Overall, the Wildcats led for nearly 31 minutes and limited the Bulldogs (9-7, 1-3) to just 18 points in the second half.
Tyler Herro followed Hagans with 12 points as three Kentucky players finished in double figures. PJ Washington added 10 points for the Wildcats. Kentucky leading scorer Keldon Johnson (15.5 points per game) was held scoreless for the first time in his career. Johnson missed six field goal attempts but grabbed three rebounds and had two assists.
Kentucky got 18 points from its bench, led by Jemarl Baker and EJ Montgomery, who combined for 12. Baker tied a career-high with two 3-pointers and six points, while Richards chipped in with four points and seven rebounds. Richards added three blocks.
Richards said earlier this week, he's been focusing on blocking shots in practice.
Nicolas Claxton paced Georgia with 12 points, followed by Rayshaun Hammonds with 11.

Know Your Meme Credits
The Know Your Meme project started in December 2007 as a limited-run video series created by Kenyatta Cheese, Elspeth Rountree, Jamie Wilkinson, and Andrew Baron. After gaining a large following, the series expanded into weekly episodes and ushered in the creation of the Know Your Meme Database.
The Know Your Meme Database was built in December 2008 by Jamie Wilkinson and Greg Leuch of Rocketboom's R&D team. Since its launch, the website has grown from a niche forum for internet meme enthusiasts to an encyclopedia of Internet cultures, thanks to the hard-working members of our community and staff alumni, including Amanda Brennan, Olivia Gulin, Molly Horan, Chris Menning, Ari Spool, and James Wu. Brad Kim worked at Know Your Meme for 10 years, and was Editor-in-Chief until 2019. For the current staff, please refer to our About page.
The original web series ran from December 2007 through December 2010, during which 65 episodes and an hour-long YouTube Live special were released, with invaluable production support from the Rocketboom Network. Key contributors included Joe Bonacci, Eric Brown, Don Caldwell, Joanne Colan, Patrick Davison, Leah D'Emilio, Bob Geile, Brad Kim, Greg Leuch, Chris Menning, Barry Pousman, and Mike Rugnetta. In 2011, the web series was rebooted with Forest Gibson joining as the new host, followed by Kristina Horner, Sarah Hiraki, Alison Luhrs and Rob Whitehead as co-hosts, releasing 36 additional episodes from June 2011 to October 2012.

Oculus, a company Facebook Inc bought for $2 billion last year, said on Thursday it planned to launch its virtual reality headset Rift early next year in a tie-up with Microsoft's Xbox One gaming console.
The Oculus Rift will work on Windows 10 and Microsoft will allow Xbox One games to stream to the headset as part of the virtual cinema experience Oculus has created, Xbox chief Phil Spencer said at a press conference on Thursday.
"We believe we'll be able to create state of the art virtual reality experiences with the Oculus Rift on top of Windows," Spencer said.
The Rift will come with an Xbox One wireless controller and a standing camera to track the head and body movements of users.
While Oculus has declined to release the price of the headset, executives recently hinted it may cost around $1,500 when bundled with a PC, CNET reported.
"Consumers won't have to wait long for new games, however. The partnership with Microsoft will bring the entire catalog of Xbox One games, including the upcoming sci-fi shooter Halo 5: Guardians, to the Rift through streaming technology built into Windows 10, Microsoft's operating system upgrade due out July 29," CNET reported.
While there are no estimates of the potential size of the market for virtual reality applications in the health care field, analysts say that success in this area would likely spur even broader adoption in a range of industries, such as education, fashion, media and telecommunications.
The potential size of those markets is quite large, possibly surpassing $5 billion over the next three years, according to some estimates, especially as the gadget's uses extend far beyond gaming.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has said he views virtual reality as the next major computing platform, and he is working hard to ensure that it is. While Oculus headsets will not be available to consumers until 2016, the company has made prototypes of the system available to developers since 2013, with the expectation that an array of applications will be available to those buying headsets after the formal launch.
Other companies, including Sony Corp, Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, Microsoft Corp, Google Inc and HTC Corp have either already released virtual reality headsets or plan to do so in the next year.
Oculus, however, has already distributed more than 100,000 units of its developer version. This is more than has been available in the history of virtual reality, giving it early brand recognition among medical researchers, analysts said.
Some headsets, such as Sony's Morpheus, are built exclusively for video games. Oculus, however, allows researchers and developers to create their own software, whether for specialised applications like health care or for video games.

Q: Compute basis for nullspace by inversion and transpose A known technique to compute a basis for the nullspace of a matrix $A^T$ is to extend $A$ with arbitrary columns $V$ so that $B = [A V]$ is nonsingular. After computing $B^{⁻T} = [Y Z]$, $Z$ is a basis for the nullspace of $A^T$.
Does this hold also when $B$ is not as clearly partitioned into $A$ and $V$?
Example: Let $A = \begin{bmatrix}a_1 & a_2 & a_3\end{bmatrix}, V = \begin{bmatrix}v_1 & v_2\end{bmatrix}$ with $a_i, v_i \in \mathbb{R}⁵$. Let $B = \begin{bmatrix}a_1 & v_1 & a_2 & v_2 & a_3\end{bmatrix}$. Is a basis for the nullspace of $A^T$ given by the 2nd and 4th column of $B^{⁻T}$?
Example:
$A^T = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 3 & 4\\ 1 & 0 & 1\end{bmatrix}$.
Choose $V = \begin{bmatrix}1\\1\\1\\ \end{bmatrix}$.
Then $B = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 1 & 1\\ 3 & 0 & 1\\ 4 & 1 & 1\end{bmatrix}$, $B^{-T} = \begin{bmatrix}-0.5 & 0.5 & 1.5\\ 0 & -1 & 1\\ 0.5 & 0.5 & -1.5\end{bmatrix}$, and $Z = \begin{bmatrix}1.5\\ 1\\ -1.5\end{bmatrix}$ is a valid basis for the nullspace of $A^T$.
If instead $V$ is injected inbetween the two colums of $A$, $B = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 1 & 1\\ 3 & 1 & 0\\ 4 & 1 & 1\end{bmatrix}$, $B^{-T} = \begin{bmatrix}-0.5 & 1.5 & 0.5\\ 0 & 1 & -1\\ 0.5 & -1.5 & 0.5\end{bmatrix}$. The second column, corresponding to $V$, is now a valid basis of the nullspace of $A^T$. Is this a general result?

A: To begin with, let's deal with some unstated assumptions in your question. Obviously, $A$ must have more rows than columns. In addition, it must have full rank. If the columns of $A$ are not linearly independent, then there's no way to fill it out so that the resulting square matrix is nonsingular. So, we'll assume that $A$ is an $m\times n$ matrix with $m\gt n$ and $\operatorname{rank}(A)=n$.
With that, let's examine why the method works. The null space of a matrix is the orthogonal complement of its row space, or equivalently, the orthogonal complement of the column space of its transpose. Now, for any appropriately-shaped matrices $M$ and $N$, the $ij$-th element of the product $MN$ is the dot product of the $i$th row of $M$ with the $j$th column of $N$. When $MN$ is a diagonal matrix, this implies that for every column $[N]_j$ of $N$, all of the rows $[M]_i$ of $M$ with $i\ne j$ are orthogonal to $[N]_j$. The columns of $B$, and so also the rows of $B^{-1}$, are linearly independent, which means that for each column $[B]_j$, the $m-1$ rows $[B^{-1}]_i$ $(i\ne j)$ form a basis for the orthogonal complement of $[B]_j$. If we take a subset of columns of $B$, it should be evident that a basis for the orthogonal complement of their span is formed by the complementary rows of $B^{-1}$—this is just a matter of intersecting the individual complements. Thus, if we choose the columns that correspond to those of $A$, then the complementary rows of $B^{-1}$, i.e., those with the same indices as the "extra" columns in $B$, are a basis for the null space of $A^T$.
Nowhere in the preceding paragraph did we require that the columns of $A$ appear in any particular place in $B$, so, as you've conjectured, this method still works if the additional columns are placed anywhere in $B$.

A commitment to collaboration
China and TWAS have a long history of cooperation in science and science policy for the developing world. A visit to China by TWAS Executive Director Romain Murenzi raised hopes for future joint efforts with potential for significant impact.
At a series of high-level meetings, TWAS Executive Director Romain Murenzi held talks with Chinese Minister of Science and Technology Wang Zhigang and other top Chinese science and education leaders to explore joint efforts to advance science in the Global South.
In addition to visiting the Ministry, Murenzi met with officials from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), the China Association for Science and Technology (CAST) and Zhejiang University. During his five-day visit to Beijing and Hangzhou in late May, talks focused on the Academy's future collaboration with Chinese institutions.
"China's commitment to scientific research and to international cooperation is so impressive – it is a true reflection of global leadership in science and technology," Murenzi said. "Meeting with Minister Wang and the other leaders, it was clear that we share high ambitions and many common goals, including the advancement of science in Least Developed Countries, with special attention to Africa and women. I look forward to advancing the long-standing, productive partnership between TWAS and China."
During the visit, Murenzi also met with CAS President Bai Chunli, who served six years as TWAS president before his term ended in December 2018. TWAS Treasurer Yang Wei played a crucial role in organising the meetings. Yang served as president of NSFC from 2013 to 2018 and as president of Zhejiang University from 2002-2013. Murenzi also met with TWAS Fellow Wang Shouyang, a distinguished economist who serves as dean of the School of Economics and Management at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences and chairman of the Committee for the TWAS Siwei Cheng Prize for Economics.
China and TWAS have a cooperative relationship that extends to the Academy's early days more than 35 years ago. Under Bai's leadership, the CAS-TWAS President's PhD Fellowship Programme admitted hundreds of promising young scientists from the Global South into PhD studies in China. In addition, six CAS-TWAS Centres of Excellence were founded and focus on key areas for scientific development.
Wang, who leads the Ministry of Science and Technology (MoST), noted the long cooperative history in his discussions with Murenzi. MoST will continue joint efforts with TWAS, he said. He emphasised the importance of working within the framework of China's Belt and Road Initiative and the value of possible collaboration in areas relevant to the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
At NSFC, Murenzi met with Li Jinghai, president of the Foundation and a vice president of the Paris-based International Science Council (ISC).
At CAST, Murenzi met with a group led by Huai Jinpeng, executive vice president and chief executive secretary, and including Liu Yang, director-general of the CAST Department of International Affairs. CAST is a non-governmental organisation representing 210 national member societies and local branches all over the country. CAST agreed to support the meeting of the TWAS Council in Hangzhou in November.
Huai and Murenzi discussed improving scientific exchanges and cooperation with the Academy. Huai said CAST, a major driver of Chinese science diplomacy, and TWAS, which is globally active in science diplomacy, can carry out in-depth collaboration on academic exchanges, science communication, international cooperation, science education and talent cultivation.
CAST, Huai said, cultivates young professionals in science and technology through such initiatives as its Young Elite Scientist Sponsorship Program and the Science & Technology Award for Chinese Youth and Future Women Scientists. Huai said he hoped the two organisations could collaborate on nurturing early-career scientists through a bond of common values and goals.
Murenzi also met with Wu Zhaohui, president of Zhejiang University, and discussed the university as the site of the TWAS Council meeting.
Wu said the university is focused on research and innovation and that it welcomes extensive exchanges and cooperation with international science organisations like TWAS. Murenzi said he hopes the Academy will explore opportunities to promote scientific development in the Global South alongside the university, and they reached a consensus on co-sponsoring international collaboration and strengthening cooperation with private enterprise.

A report of a man standing near a restaurant drive-thru with a firearm Sunday night in Concord led an officer on a foot pursuit that ended in one arrest, police said.
Multiple officers responded to the Burger King on Hall Street for a suspicious person call shortly before 11 p.m. Dispatch said the man with the firearm was wearing a black bandanna on his face; however, the first responding officer found nothing of the sort, according to a sworn police affidavit.
A 911 operator determined the caller was in the area of the McDonald's on Fisherville Road, prompting Concord police Officer Kristopher Begin to check out that restaurant to ensure everything was okay.
Once inside the McDonald's, Begin observed a man approach the register to order two McGriddle breakfast sandwiches. The man said he couldn't pay for them, but that his girlfriend was on her way, the affidavit says.
The man, whom police later identified as Chad Belleville, 34, of Barnstead, had a bandanna tied around his neck matching the description of the one provided by the 911 caller, Begin said.
When Belleville walked away from the register, Begin asked if the two could talk outside. Belleville agreed but "broke out into a full sprint" once he reached the door, the affidavit says.
Begin gave chase while repeatedly asking Belleville to stop. Once in the area of a mulch bed near the Oak Bridge Condominiums on Fisherville Road, Belleville slowed down and reached toward the area of his waistband, Begin said.
Near the entrance, Belleville lost his footing and fell.
With the assistance of another officer, Begin took Belleville into custody. Inside the front pocket of his sweatshirt, officers said, they located a pair of white gloves and a screwdriver. They also said they found a New Hampshire driver's license in Belleville's possession that belonged to another man.
Although Belleville insisted he was someone else, police confirmed his true identify through fingerprint analysis.
Police charged Belleville with false report to law enforcement and resisting arrest. He was arraigned Monday in Concord's district court, where a judge ordered bail set at $6,000 cash.
A trial management conference is scheduled for Oct. 10.


Great olde world pub with great locals!
Lunch was absolutely perfect (cheese & ham bagette, salad & crisps, Guiness & Prosecco) contemporary surroundings (including canal side location) would most certainly recommend & would not hesitate to re-visit if in the vicinity, try it yourself, don't think you would be disappointed.
Walked up the canal to this pub for lunch. I have never heard such happy staff. Singing coming from the kitchen was really funny. Very good steak and Stilton pie and great value.
Get quick answers from dog and doublet staff and past visitors.
Is there much to do in the area by the pub?
If you like country & canal walks, along with lakes & nature reserves then you will not be disappointed. Probably around a comfortable hours walk is Kingsbury village. Interesting church & out buildings alongside river (didn't find much else). En-route you pass a really nice Tea house, have fun.
can i book a table??

The endangered Amazon rainforest is not just lovely and lush to look at—it's critical to life as we know it. The region provides 20 percent of the world's oxygen and 20 percent of its fresh water. Humans would feel the loss of that terribly, in real-world ways.
But it isn't all about us.
The great Amazon basin, home to more than half the world's rainforests, is also home to millions of species—80,000 higher plants, 2.5 million insects, 1,500 birds, 430 mammals, 1,000 amphibians, 450 reptiles, 3,600 arachnid species (spiders!) and more than 5,600 freshwater fish—whose magnificent ecosystem is being destroyed. I first witnessed this while on plant trade expeditions with my husband, ethnobotanist Chris Kilham, and now, with Cosmic Sister advocacy work, I'm still seeing more of the same. For nearly a decade, I've watched barges laden with giant old growth trees pass us by on the river on the way to the timber market. I've seen thousands of acres of palm oil plantations, careless gold mining ravaging riverbeds and virtually every living creature for sale in the market—dead or alive. I believe that compassionate people can counteract this callous hostility towards nature. Our numbers are growing but we're up against enormous, corrupt global powers—and we're losing. We need more people to take a stand.
Being on the environmental frontline means bearing witness to the best and worst of what we're capable of as a species. When my heart hurts, I meditate on the miracle of life in these interconnected rainforest beings, and their spirit medicine leaves me renewed, refreshed and inspired to keep up the fight.
My husband, the Medicine Hunter, travels the world searching for medicinal plants and develops sustainable, plant-based remedies that provide indigenous people with economic opportunities that also help to preserve their culture and the natural environment. "The rainforests provide medicinal plants, fruits, nuts and oils." Chris says. "They're much more valuable alive than clear-cut or burned."
Chris is awed by the diversity and resilience of the Amazon, still home to the most plant species on Earth despite the human assault. "We should cherish rather than destroy this precious environment," he says.

Medicinal plants from the Amazon, including cat's claw, dragon's blood and ayahuasca, provide scientifically proven health benefits, and more and more cosmetics include rainforest-derived ingredients. Probably the best-known example is annatto (Bixa orellana), a natural red dye in makeup and hair color that can replace potentially toxic industrial dyes.
Cocoa (Theobroma cacao). Photo by Chris Kilham / medicinehunter.com
And what would life be without Theobroma cacao (literally means "food of the gods") a sacred plant that originates from the Amazon? Cocoa is derived from this sensual rainforest plant—and we use it to make chocolate. Beyond the flavor that billions adore, cocoa is beneficial for health. "Cocoa, one of nature's many miracles, is the healthiest food in the world," Chris says. Research shows that cocoa can significantly benefit the cardiovascular system, reduce cognitive decline in old age, and enhance the natural production of serotonin and dopamine, the brain's "feel-good chemicals."
Medicines inspired by Amazon amphibians and insects also show a great deal of promise.
Amazonian bee propolis is a potent antimicrobial resin that bees make to protect their hives. "Propolis is yet one more tremendous skin protector," Chris says. "Its resinous nature creates a thin barrier on wounds, providing anti-infective power and sealing the wound from further invasion."

And medical researchers have been studying amphibians like the brightly colored Amazonian red-backed poison dart frog (Dendrobates tinctorius) to synthesize venom in drug design, including use as a natural painkiller. Synthetic is critical in this case, so that no frogs are captured or bred and killed to make medicine.
In the rainforest, plants, insects and other pollinator species need each other to survive. If one specific insect is a plant's only pollinator and the insect goes extinct—well, that's extremely bad news for the plant. According to the Rainforest Foundation, deforestation can cause rainforest extinction rate to soar three or four times higher than the natural extinction rate of about one species per year. All sorts of critters are pollinators—including hummingbirds and butterflies.

Hummingbirds, which are considered to be divine messengers in Amazonian shamanic traditions, dine mostly on flower nectar and must consume half their body weight each day to survive. "Hummingbirds have inspired some of the best names in ornithology," says photographer-adventurer Noah Strycker of National Audubon Society's Birding Without Borders, "What's not to love about a bird called a crowned woodnymph?"
Populations of the jewel-toned crowned woodnymph (Thalurania colombica)—which looks like a cross between a tiny dragon and a shimmering fairy spirit—have fallen by 30 percent over 10 years, the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (iucnredlist.org) reports. Eco-tourism can help. Amazon Birding , for instance, provides wild sanctuary for 22 hummingbird species at the Hummingbird Garden in Peru.
Blue Morpho Butterfly (Morpho peleides). Photo by Can Stock Photo
Of the 7,000 butterfly species in the Amazon, the bue morpho (Morpho peleides) stands out. With a wingspan from five to eight inches, it is one of the world's largest butterflies. But size isn't the thing. Camouflaged with shadow-toned eye spot patterns, the butterflies seem to disappear when their wings are closed but flash a brilliant iridescent blue—an affect created from microscopic scales that reflect sunlight—as they open their wings and fly. In the jungle, they appear to move in and out of the spirit realm. But deforestation, habitat fragmentation and collectors drawn to the butterflies' otherworldly beauty are all threats.
Every year at the Sensational Butterflies exhibition's hatchery, thousands of visitors watch blue morpho butterflies emerge from chrysalises under the expert care of lepidopterist Luke Brown, director of The Butterfly Gardener. "Metamorphosis is one of nature's greatest wonders," Brown says.
Baby Two-toed Sloth (Choloepus hoffmanni). Photo by Sam Trull / slothlove.com
The Amazon basin is also home to wonderful mammals, including funny little creatures like sloths, anteaters, giant river otters, capybaras (sort of a giant guinea pig) and the pigmy marmoset—the world's smallest monkey at only 5 inches. Sam Trull, a wildlife rehabilitator and author of Slothlove, has raised many orphaned baby sloths. She studies and advocates for both the two-toed sloth (Choloepus hoffmanni) and three-toed sloth (Bradypus torquatus). "Sloths are such loving creatures," she says, "They melt the hearts of all who see them."

Two of the most mystical mammals of the Amazon are the beloved pink dolphins, known as the boto (Inia geoffrensis), and the lesser-known but equally endearing tucuxi (Sotalia fluviatilis), depend on healthy rivers to survive. Extractive industry such as logging, petroleum, gold mining and commercial fishing are all threats. Through his nonprofit Solinia, Cédric Gilleman teaches thousands of local children about wild dolphins—known as shapeshifters, or encantados—in their native habitat and asks them to pledge to help protect "their" dolphins and rivers.
Jaguar (Panthera onca). Photo by Frans Lanting / lanting.com
Jaguars (Panthera onca), a major power animal in Amazonian shamanic tradition, once ranged as far as Northern California, but early European settlers wiped them out. During the 1960s and 1970s, as many as 18,000 jaguars were killed each year for their spectacular "rosette" spotted coats. In 1973, the Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species attempted to stop pelt poaching, but it's still all too common to see stacks of jaguar skins for sale in Amazonian markets. Deforestation and habitat fragmentation also threaten jaguars, which roam extensively and don't recognize political borders.
Panthera creates corridors where wild cats can pass safely across 18 Latin American countries. "Their spirit is indeed indomitable, and it calls forth the same in us," says Chief Development Officer Rebecca Bowen.
The black market pet trade is also a serious threat. "If you go to the market and ask for a pet orphaned jaguar cub, within a few days you will have one," says Gudrun Sperrer, founder of the Pilpintuwasi Amazon Animal Orphanage in Peru. "But the cub will be an orphan because the hunter killed the baby's mother."
Amazon Basin Emerald Tree Boa (Corallus batesii). Photo by Zoe Helene / zoehelene.com
Amazon Basin emerald tree boas (Corallus batesii) can grow up 10 feet long and have remarkable "lightning bolt" zigzag color patterns. By day they're docile, but at night they can become fierce predators with sophisticated heat sensors that scientists are studying for new ways of locating tiny tumors. Habitat destruction and the exotic pet and skin trade threaten snakes—though we don't know how severely because their populations aren't monitored, says Melissa Amarello, co-founder and education director for Advocates for Snake Preservation. "It's interesting that animals whom many would describe as hideous are traded in great numbers for skins and pets."
Humans are the Amazon rainforest's primary threat. Like a snake sheds its skin, we must shed cultural programing that leads to extractive and exploitative industries and move beyond this age of arrogance to take our position intelligent, noble stewards. The following simple choices can influence how our species evolves:
Choose natural products that support Amazon rainforests and indigenous people.
Do not buy into "sustainable palm oil" propaganda; there is no such thing.
Reduce meat consumption. Cattle ranching is responsible for up to 70 percent of deforestation in Brazil, the world's second-largest beef exporter.
Be mindful when purchasing wood products, especially rosewood, mahogany and ebony, and be wary of wood products marketed as "exotic," even if it they're also labeled "sustainable."
Boycott exotic animal products and exotic pets.
Buy jewelry with ethically sourced precious metals.
Consume fewer fossil fuels—70 percent of the Peruvian Amazon is leased by oil companies.
Donate to nonprofits that protect and defend the Amazon rainforest.
Most importantly, love deeply and courageously. Compassion, respect, humility and a sense of wonder remain key drivers in creating positive change.

Messy? Maybe. Worth it? Yes. The secret to fully loaded nachos that won't fall apart in your lap? A mixture of salsa and refried beans acts like the "glue" to help the toppings stick to the tortilla chips.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Cook chorizo and onion in a large nonstick skillet over medium, stirring often with a wooden spoon to crumble, until chorizo is well browned and onion is tender, about 8 minutes. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Stir together refried beans and 1 cup of the tomatillo salsa in a small saucepan. Cook over medium-high, stirring often, until hot, about 3 minutes.
Line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Arrange chips in a single layer on foil. Top chips evenly with chorizo mixture, bean mixture, and cheeses.
Bake in preheated oven until cheeses melt and just begin to brown in places, about 8 minutes. Remove from oven, and top with avocado, jalapeño, sour cream, cilantro, and remaining tomatillo salsa. Drizzle with hot sauce, if desired.

Racraquin proves unstoppable for streaking San Beda spikers
byLance Agcaoili
In Photo: San Beda's Aurea Francesca Racraquin does what she does best against San Sebastian College's Julie Ann Tiangco and Daurene Santos.
MOST Valuable Player (MVP) race front-runner Cesca Racraquin pulled off another all-around performance as San Beda trounced San Sebastian College, 25-14, 25-22, 22-25, 25-18, to return to the semifinals for the second straight year in Season 93 National Collegiate Athletic Association women's volleyball action on Tuesday at the Filoil Flying V Centre in San Juan City.
Racraquin, last year's top rookie, unloaded 20 points off 17 attacks and 19 digs and 13 receptions, while twins Nieza and Ela Viray chipped in 12 and 10 hits, respectively, as the Lady Red Spikers notched their seventh win in eight outings.
San Beda shared the lead with early semifinalist and defending champion Arellano University, which missed a sweep of the eliminations after absorbing a 21-25, 20-25, 25-19, 12-25 defeat to College of Saint Benilde last Monday.
"Our motivation is to bounce back because we were coming off a frustrating loss to Arellano University last week," said San Beda Head Coach Nemesio Gavino, referring to their 17-25, 10-25, 17-25 defeat to the Lady Chiefs. "This win is a big boost to our morale before entering the Final Four."
With Arellano University and San Beda inching a win closer from securing two twice-to-beat advantages in the Final Four, San Sebastian saw its four-game winning streak snapped and its semifinals chances in trouble as it slid to No. 4 with a 5-3 win-loss record.
The Lady Stags must beat the Lady Chiefs—a rematch of last year's finalists—tomorrow to stay in contention of the next round.
Bianca Tripoli, Lourdes Clemente and Jowie Verzosa, meanwhile, scored 11 points each to lead University of Perpetual Help past hapless Mapua University, 25-18, 25-23, 25-12, to regain solo third place with a 5-2 record.
The Lady Altas need to sweep Letran on Friday and College of Saint Benilde on Tuesday next week to keep the third spot in the Final Four. The Lady Cardinals remained winless after eight outings.
In men's action, San Beda turned back San Sebastian, 25-19, 26-28, 26-24, 25-13, to jump to solo third with a 6-2 mark. The Stags went down to 2-6.

Home/World/New Secretary General of UNIW elected in Istanbul Conference
New Secretary General of UNIW elected in Istanbul Conference
June 29, 2022 World Comments Off on New Secretary General of UNIW elected in Istanbul Conference 208 Views
Fai highlights duplicity of world powers towards conflicts concerning Muslims
Istanbul, June 29 (KMS): The 9th Ordinary Elective General Assembly Meeting of the Union of Non-Governmental Organizations of the Islamic World (UNIW) was held in İstanbul, Turkey. The UNIW has around 400 members from 69 countries of 6 continents.
The UNIW was established on May 1, 2005, to work for global peace, human rights, freedom, and justice. It goal is to cooperate, collaborate and coordinate the activities of the Muslim NOGs of the world. UNIW's mission is to play effective role at the UN, OIC and other world forums to seek their understanding towards the issues of the Ummah. Its strategy has been to have global networking of Muslim NGO's all over the world.
Attorney Ali Kurt, a graduate of Istanbul University, Faculty of Law, was the Secretary General of UNIW until June 5, 2022. He has been the founding partner of Faisal Finance Institution.
On June 25, 2022, the General Body elected Mr Eyup Akbal as the new Secretary General of UNIW. Eyup Akbal is the Chairman of the Board of Fuzul Holdings. He has featured on Forbes Magazine as one of top-notch businessmen in Turkey. Fuzul Group deals with real estate development, tourism, insurance, finance, property management, electronic payment systems. He is a very modest, courteous, and humble personality.
Dr Ghulam Nabi Fai, member of the Board of Directors of UNIW since its inception in 2005, highlighted the duplicity of the world powers towards Muslim conflicts. He cited the example of the people of Ukraine who are suffering, and world powers feel their pain and rightly so and so do the Muslims all over the world. The question arises why do the world powers turn their blind eye when it comes to the pain and suffering of the people of Palestine and Kashmir?
Dr Fai highlighted that the world powers have proved to be selective when it comes to the implementation of the UN Security Council resolutions. He asked: Is not it true that the United Nations intervened in Namibia, East Timor, Southern Sudan, implemented UN resolutions, held the elections and gave these countries total independence from the occupation of South Africa, Indonesia and Sudan respectively? How can the world body justify that the UN Security Council resolutions remain unimplemented in the case of Palestine and Kashmir?
Dr Fai added that the nightmare of the people of Kashmir began in 1947 and it is no tribute to international justice that it continues as I speak today. The community of nations must seize the opportunity to promote an initiative towards bringing about conditions necessary for settlement of the Kashmir dispute. Should not the international standards and principles play a commanding role in the settlement of international conflicts including that of Kashmir, Fai asked?
Later, Dr Fai addressed the students of various Turkish universities at the main auditorium of Recep Tayyip Erdogan Anadolu Imam Hatip Lisesi, Istanbul. It was also addressed among others by Mr Shakeel Ahmed, Nazim-e-Aala, Islami Jamiaat-e-Talaba, Pakistan, Hafiz Uzair Ali Khan, President Pak-Turk Students Group, Ms Sanaa Rafique, Ms Nousheen, Abdullah Zubair and Anas Awan.
When asked if Kashmir was an integral part of India, Dr Fai categorically said no. Under all UN resolutions, agreed upon by both India and Pakistan and adopted by the Security Council, Kashmir does not belong to any member state of the UN. If Kashmir does not belong to any member state of the UN, then the claim that Kashmir was an integral part of India does not stand?
To another question, Dr Fai told the student audience which was dominated by female scholars that the situation in Kashmir is not frozen. It may seem to you have frozen from a distance but the facts on the ground say it loudly that it will not stay frozen any longer. Has it been the case then Yushwant Sinha, leader of BJP and former foreign minister of India would not have said on December 28, 2018 during an interview with Shekhar Gupta, "We have made one mistake after another in Kashmir. There is no question of losing Kashmir, we have lost Kashmir."
Dr Fai also met with the delegation of Islamabad-based independent think-tank "Center for Discussions and Solutions," and "Global Dialogue for Peace." They were invited by Istanbul based think-tank, "Insan ve Medeniyet Hareketi. Asif Luqman is the head of this think tank. He also met with Ameerul Azeem and other dozens of friends there whom he knows from America to Saudi Arabia and else.
Dr Fai also had detailed discussion with the leadership of Kashmir House, Istanbul, Dr Mubeen Shah and Dr Asif Dar, both of them have sacrificed a lot for the cause of Kashmir. The nation of Kashmir is proud of them. Kashmir House, Istanbul's objectives include: advocacy, political engagements, research, documentation, financial aid to deserving students, media scape, and business enterprise.
Dr Fai had a pleasant meeting with 18 Kashmiri students at a hotel in Istanbul. They came not only from Istanbul but beyond. They discussed issues of common concern for more than two hours.
Dr Fai also spent few moments with Ustaaz tugray Rvren who has become the "Poet of Kashmir." He has given the voice to the pain and suffering of the people of Kashmir. The song, "I am Kashmir" is dedicated to Kashmir and "We will not betray" is dedicated to both Kashmir and Palestine. These songs have millions of views on Tweeter and YouTube. Dr Fai thanked Tugray Evren for his friendship with the people of Kashmir.

""A good head and good heart are always a formidable combination. But when you add to that a literate tongue or pen, then you have something very special…. It is not beyond our power to create a world in which all children have access to a good education. Those who do not believe this have small imaginations."
We dream of an Africa where every child, woman and man can read and write, where universal human rights education means exactly that. We envision an Africa where every child, woman and man understands his or her rights and can claim it
The Centre's mission is to support a rights-based approach to education in Africa by creating, storing and distributing Human Rights Education (HRE) resources via electronic and print media. We also produce news, entertainment, in-depth documentaries, expert analysis, commentary, interviews, reports and training for the media.
Tasked with producing the most innovative work in the field, the unit addresses important gaps in scholarship and provides analysis of the work of the AU.
About the Human Rights Resource Centre
The Human Rights Resource Centre is an integral part of the Judicial and Human Rights Department of AU Watch. It works in partnership with AU Watch Institute For AU Studies and Legacy Universityin The Gambia to:
Create, store and distribute Human Rights Education (HRE) resources via electronic and print media. We also provide unique images and stories about human rights across the Africa;
Design human rights curriculums and syllabuses for primary and secondary schools;
Train activists, professionals, and students as human rights educators;
Build advocacy networks to encourage effective practices in human rights education;
We provide spokespeople for television, radio and press concerning the range of training and pedagogical work covered by the AU. Whether it's social and economic policy analysis, human rights, conflict and peace, development, security, education governance and more we have the experts who can articulate the issues clearly;
Exhibitions and awards are also distinctive elements of our work. We shall promote (young) human rights activists, and annually award our prestigious Young Persons Inspirational Prize. Our scholarship programs help young human rights journalists by offering them projects specifically geared to their needs. We award prize for excellent in local human rights journalism.
We also engage with a broad-range of local, national and international organizations, think tanks, by organizing events and hosting face-to-face briefings, interviews and lectures. Our conferences and eventsattract people who 'have something to say'. In countries where there is an AU organ, we offer more thousands of events per year which attract hundreds of thousands of participants;
We Influence people and Institutions.AU Watch believes that education is the key to the future of Africa. Too many of Africa's youths cannot read and write. The Centre works to achieve universal reading, writing and IT proficiency for all our youths. The Centre is collaborating with school of AU Studies to rum the "No Child Left Behind" program to get Africa's youth into the 21st We offer every student hands-on computer science and math classes that make them job-ready on day one This includes helping them to engage solidly with the Fourth Industrial Revolution that is now with us.
Our publications and advocacy are another plank in the armory of AU Watch to ensure accountability of our state's manager. We produce:
On-line commentaries
On-line articles on topical issues
On-line news letter
Collaborative work / publications with organizations like:
-The Court
-The Commission
-Other sub-regional bodies / recs
-AUC
-UN etc
-ICC
-Ecowas
Print and Publications Unit. Access to relevant, accurate information is a vital complement to our work especially our litigation and training work. We work with AU Watch's Print Unit to produce and disseminate a range ofpublications, keeping lawyers, judges and NGOs abreast of developments in 'AU law' which affect their work. These are both hard copy and online publications.
Develop and roll out a regional program for Human Rights Educationacross Africa:
-Phase 1 (2020-2022): Human Rights Education in the Primary and Secondary School Systems;
-Phase 2 (2023-2025): Human Rights Education in Higher Education, Training for Civil Servants, Law Enforcement, Military and Correction Officers.
Human rights are universal, that is, they are the same for all human beings in every country. They are inalienable, indivisible and interdependent, that is, they cannot be taken away – ever; all rights are equally important and they are complementary, for instance the right to participate in government and in free elections depends on freedom of speech.

Amy Schumer Will Try to Win Michelle Williams's Respect in I Feel Pretty
By Tolly Wright

After receiving several Oscar nods for parts in Manchester by the Sea, Blue Valentine, and Brokeback Mountain — and starring in at least a dozen other equally depressing yet respected projects — Michelle Williams is trying on a new look. According to Deadline, Williams has been tapped to co-star in Amy Schumer's upcoming comedy I Feel Pretty. Williams will reportedly play Schumer's boss at a cosmetics company, where the comedian's character believes that she is unattractive. After banging her head in an exercise-related incident (how else?), Schumer believes she is under a magic spell that has made her beautiful, which, in turn, gives her the confidence at work to win Williams's respect. As you might have guessed, there's a lesson about inner beauty trumping outer beauty also thrown in there.

The first season of Travelers has a score of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes based on nine reviews with an average rating of 8.0/10.[9] Neil Genzlinger, writing for The New York Times, described the first season as "tasty", and "enjoyable science fiction", with "some attention-grabbing flourishes and fine acting".[10] Hanh Nguyen, writing for IndieWire, describes the series as "fun and freaky," finding the series' appeal "in how the core group of five travelers adjust to life in our present," noting the "human nature in the travelers".[11] Lawrence Devoe, of TheaterByte.com, called the series "tautly paced and suspenseful" with "well-developed characters", declaring that "Brad Wright has a real knack for creating futuristic series".[12] Evan Narcisse, reviewing the first five episodes for io9, appreciated the moral dilemmas offered by the series premise and the awkwardness presented by the characters' interactions with their hosts' friends, colleagues, lovers, or caretakers: "This is a superhero show in double disguise, offering up clever explorations of the secret identity concept that touch on the guilt and contortions that come with living a double life."[13] Netflix announced that the series was one of its "most devoured" series in 2017.[14]
Continental islands are bodies of land that lie on the continental shelf of a continent.[10] Examples are Borneo, Java, Sumatra, Sakhalin, Taiwan and Hainan off Asia; New Guinea, Tasmania, and Kangaroo Island off Australia; Great Britain, Ireland, and Sicily off Europe; Greenland, Newfoundland, Long Island, and Sable Island off North America; and Barbados, the Falkland Islands, and Trinidad off South America.
Last summer, the museum expanded its artistic footprint by over 130,000 square feet, making it the largest contemporary art space in the country. The new Building 6 houses long-term installations by artists like James Turrell, Louise Bourgeois, and Jenny Holzer. Two new museums are still in the works for North Adams, both spearheaded by former Guggenheim director Thomas Krens. At the Global Contemporary Art Museum, curators will work directly with artists to acquire and commission site-specific pieces, while the Extreme Model Railroad & Contemporary Architecture Museum will showcase works by the likes of Frank Gehry and Zaha Hadid, all built in miniature as part of an elaborate model train system. Design is also top-of-mind at Tourists, a modern take on the roadside motel that's set to open this summer. The resort — situated on 55 acres at the convergence of the Appalachian and Mohawk Trails — will have 48 rooms, each with floor-to-ceiling windows that put the focus on surrounding vistas. —Fiorella Valdesolo
Saint Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Co. was founded March 5, 1853, in St. Paul, Minnesota, serving local customers who were having a difficult time getting claim payments in a timely manner from insurance companies on the east coast of the United States. It barely survived the Panic of 1857 by dramatically paring down its operations and later reorganizing itself into a stock company (as opposed to a mutual company). It soon spread its operations across the country. In 1998 it acquired USF&G, known formerly as United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company, an insurance company based in Baltimore, Maryland, for $3.9 billion in stock and assumed debt.[5][6] By buying USF&G, they went from the 13th to the eighth largest property and casualty insurance company in the United States. Through economies of scale between the two companies, and a difficult business environment, they downsized the company substantially over the coming years by selling certain business units to focus on more profitable business units.[7][8]

The Pigeon Creek National Recreation Trail is located in Pigeon Creek Park, a Corps of Engineers 'Day-Use' area on Lake Norfork. This trail system is open to bicycle and hiking use only.
From Mountain Home, take Hwy 201 North approx 5 miles. Just across the Pigeon Creek Bridge, a small parking area and trail head are on the left (west). This is the trailhead for the '200' series, and the 'Lost Mine Trail' that connects to the Wolfley Hole system. Less than 100 yards further north on Hwy 201, is the entrance to Pigeon Creek Park on the right (east). Here you will find the trailhead for the '100' series. A picnic table and kiosk with map are on the left, just inside the park.
From Missouri, take Hwy J south from its intersection with Hwy 160 near Hardenville ( just East of Gainesville). Hwy J becomes Hwy 201 at the State line. Approximately 6 miles from State line, look for Pigeon Creek Park on the left. If you cross the Pigeon Creek Bridge, then you've gone too far.

Also keep in mind that I don't have any mics that cost more than $150. I use a Phonic FireWire Helix 12, and I record in a mostly untreated basement. I'm sure there is a limit to the greatness that can be achieved.
I'm high on cans and I think it sounds great man... Good work!

New York City Just Sued 5 Oil Companies. Could Chicago?

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio speaks with reporters about preparations for an upcoming snow storm and remarks on New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's state of the state address on Wednesday, Jan. 3, 2018, in Albany, N.Y.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio authorized a lawsuit against five major oil companies yesterday, hoping to recoup the costs imposed on the city by climate change. In 2012 New York's streets and subways flooded during Hurricane Sandy, and rising sea levels have strained ocean infrastructure around the city.
"Sandy taught us how destructive weather events exacerbated by climate change can be," a statement from de Blasio's office said. The city is also divesting pension funds from the fossil fuel industry.
While climate change's acute effects like rising sea levels aren't as immediately threatening to Chicago, we're going to see what the city can do to fight climate change with Howard Learner, executive director of the Environmental Law & Policy Center. We'll also discuss President Trump's statements yesterday on U.S. dependence on fossil fuels.


There isn't too much to say about the Buffalo Bills' 41-7 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. The Bills dominated every facet of the game on their way to the most convincing Bills win since the 2003 opener.
Ryan Fitzpatrick was efficient under center and made some serious throws on his way to a four touchdown performance. Just think, he is 26 touchdowns away from Jerry Sullivan strolling down Hertel in his underwear.
Scott Chandler looked like Pete Metzelaars while hauling in a pair of TDs. For the first time it looks as if the Bills have a valuable target at TE since Jay Riemersma left for Pittsburgh. The receiving corps didn't miss Lee Evans as David Nelson proved to be an excellent slot compliment to Steve Johnson. Nelson's size creates mismatch problems all over the field, I see him continuing to grow and sharing a similar skillset to Aaron Hernandez in New England.
Roscoe Parrish and Donald Jones weren't particularly effective, despite Jones' touchdown grab. I wonder if Nelson coupled with C.J. Spiller as a slot threat will reduce targets for the two wide outs. I can safely say Jones will likely lose touches, I doubt Parrish will be factored out of the offense.
Fed Jackson was stupendous as the primary back, it is too bad that he didn't get a touchdown to cap his 112 yard day. Still, it is obvious he has the exact skill set to be an every down back in the NFL. It will be criminal if the Bills allow him to leave. They need to pay him the money he deserves and it needs to be done yesterday. Meanwhile Spiller still doesn't know how to hit a hole, he had two good slashing runs (one for a TD) but was rendered useless otherwise. He still has quite a bit to learn in terms of finding lanes and utilizing his blinding speed. If he had the same vision that Jackson has he would be a 1,500-yard running back.
Despite the offensive explosion, it was the defense that impressed me. They surrendered only one long scoring drive and managed to force three turnovers (one on special teams). Shawne Merriman was sound but not a difference maker, hopefully his apparent shoulder injury is a non-issue (UPDATE: It seems as if all is well with the linebacker).
What was nice to see was the fact that Merriman really wasn't needed. The entire linebacking corps played a good game and the revamped line controlled play. Whether it was Merriman, Danny Batten or Alex Carrington in the game they Bills received a good pass rush and great run support. Even Chris Kelsay looked the part in his second season playing from a two-point stance. To the credit of the defensive staff, Kelsay had his hand on the ground quite a bit, right where it should always be.
Only a handful of runs reached the second level along with only a few big pass plays. Of course, being the NFL, that will happen. Nothing resembled the beating the Bills suffered last year on the ground. That is really what showed me that this is an improved team. Outside of the touchdown drive and the missed field goal, the Chiefs never threatened. Sure, Jamaal Charles found some holes, but it is to be expected. This isn't a video game.
It is important for fans not to assume the Bills are destined for greatness. Not yet, at least. They showed serious promise and a certain amount of dominance against KC. The Chiefs did seem pretty out of it and I fear that the win may diminish if KC continues to flounder. A win against Oakland would do a lot for this team's stock.
Even though there were few weak points, the offensive line needs to continue to improve. They played a great game yesterday and that type of play needs to continue. If that happens the Bills will certainly threaten to break .500 and even sniff a wild card berth.
Until week four or five I find it hard to definitively say where this team is headed. It just isn't a fair assessment. Although, a successful season would be more than welcome for the fans who have suffered through such a terrible decade of football.


Sister Sledge is an American musical group from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania originally composed of sisters Debbie Sledge, Joni Sledge, Kathy Sledge and Kim Sledge. With Kathy leaving in 1989 the group have since operated as a trio (with Kathy occasionally re-joining for one-off performances and several releases in the 90s). Having formed in 1971 and enjoyed marginal success in Europe during the middle of the decade, mainstream success was achieved when breakthrough album We Are Family was released in 1979. Symbolizing strong family values, the siblings became global superstars at the height of the disco era. The group is mostly known for the anthem, �We Are Family� and hit songs �He�s the Greatest Dancer�, �Lost In Music�, their version of "My Guy", and �Frankie�. Still performing energetic stage shows and producing music today, Sister Sledge have won in excess of 100 awards and have performed in 6 of the world's 7 continents.

Mohawk Valley Cruises to 16-3 Victory vs. Glens Falls
LITTLE FALLS, N.Y. – There was supposed to be a fireworks display after the game at Veteran's Memorial Park on Sunday. Who would have thought the Mohawk Valley DiamondDawgs would treat the 1,472 fans in attendance to two displays?
The DiamondDawgs rocked the Glens Falls pitching staff for nine runs in the fourth inning and were on cruise control the rest of the way, winning 16-3 in a romp over the Dragons.
Russ Olive (Chelmsford, MA/UMass Lowell) proved why he is heading to the Prospect Game in Amsterdam on Tuesday just two pitches into his first at-bat in the first inning, as he smacked a long fly ball that bounced off the wall. His 2-RBI double scored Tim Zeng (Lumberton, NJ/Fairfield) and Dan Deely (Sonoma, CA/Sacramento State).
Johnny Mayer (Suffolk, VA/Norfolk State) extended the lead in the bottom of the second. His RBI double scored Bronson Grubbs (Elk Grove, CA/Sacramento State).
In the top of the third, the double steal between Brian Uliana (Bethlehem, PA/Rider) and Matt Hamel (Gansevoort, NY/Siena) completely bamboozled Mohawk Valley starter Tyler Ksiazek (/Monmouth) and catcher Clay Koniencki (Schwenksville, PA/Monmouth). Uliana would score on the stolen base attempt.
Grubbs started off the scoring in the bottom of the third on a sacrifice fly to center field. That ball would allow Koniencki to score. Alexis Monge-Rodriguez (Pembroke Pines, FL/Barry) would get into the scoring column as well. His two-RBI double would score
The Dragons got two back in the top of the fourth. Three straight hits: a triple by Ryan Beamish (Brentwood, TN/Lee) and singles by Dan Lowndes (Poughkeepsie, NY/Siena) and Phoenix Hernandez (Brooklyn, NY/Southern New Hampshire) would score Beamish and Lowndes.
Unfortunately for the Dragons, the fourth inning came around and Mohawk Valley broke the game wide open. Two pitchers (one of which was thrown out for arguing a fly ball), 14 batters and nine runs later, the DiamondDawgs had a 15-3 lead heading into the fifth.
Another Mohawk Valley (23-8) run would come in the bottom of the fifth, when Koniencki knocked an RBI single to score Russ Olive.
From there, that would be all relievers Jonathan Sell (Charlton, NY/Herkimer) , Josh Arnold (Petersburg, NJ/Fairfield), Douglas Molnar (Toms River, NJ/Wagner) and Quenten Thomas (Chesterfield, VA/Norfolk State) would need. They baffled the Glens Falls (12-24) bats the rest of the way to put the game away for the DiamondDawgs.
Sell picked up the win for the DiamondDawgs, while Will Van Beusekom (Albany, NY/Marist) was saddled with the loss for Glens Falls, who have yet to win a game away from East Field.
After the All-Star break on Monday and Tuesday, the DiamondDawgs head up to the Robert Smith Sports Complex in Boonville to face the Adirondack Trail Blazers for the fourth time in two weeks on Wednesday. The Dragons will head back to the friendly confines of East Field that same day, where they will face the Oneonta Outlaws.

LOCAL INFORMATION∨
Valletta, the capital of the Maltese Islands and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a 16th century fortified city built on a headland and adjoined by two busy ports, the modern port of Marsamxett to the north and the Grand Harbour to the south. La Falconeria Hotel is located on Melita Street, which is adjacent to Republic Street, Valletta´s central pedestrianised main-street. Various Bourgeoisie Cafés, Restaurants, Eateries and Bars line most of Valletta´s streets and alleyways alongside numerous museums, palaces, pjazzas, churches and theatres.
At less than a kilometer squared, the historical significance of the city is second to none. The city itself was built through funds from the Vatican and many Noble European houses as monument to the triumph of the Order of St.John over the Ottoman Empire. With Malta situated in the centre of the Mediterranean, between Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, Valletta was at the centre of most major trade routes across the Mediterranean, and in the path of most expanding naval and military empires throughout modern history, each of which left its own mark on the city and its culture, and in some cases, threatening the city´s very existence.
The Order´s insignia is visible around the city. The eight-pointed cross can be seen on most buildings, a trademark of their architectural marvels most notable of which are the Auberge De Castille, St.John´s Cathedral and the Grandmaster´s Palace. However, walking through Valletta´s grid network of streets, one can see evidence of the Napoleonic army´s short stay, the British Colonial period and Valletta´s resilience in the face of Italian and German bombings during the Second World War.
A lively mature night scene has also sprouted out of the city´s side-streets with themed bars offering live music in a unique setting. Valletta is also a Mediterranean centre for the arts, with the Manoel Theatre, a 17th century Baroque Theatre showcasing various Pantomimes, plays, Operas and Orchestral recitals. St.James Cavalier serves as a modern home to cult cinema and contemporary art exhibitions while the Mediterranean Conference Centre and The Open-Air Theatre accommodate larger audiences. The City´s streets and its pjazzas serve as a location for events on a grand scale such as Notte Biance, Science in the City and Valletta Capital of Culture 2018.


One fact about Homebrewers is that they love to make life more complicated than it needs to be. I know, I'm a homebrewer; and I'm as guilty as anyone on this account. For this reason I really try to separate the necessary from the unnecessary – especially when I'm teaching a beginner how to brew.As I lurk around a few of the homebrewing forums out on the Internets, one topic that often comes up is the issue of secondary fermentation.
Experienced homebrewers often like to scare beginners with horror stories of all the nasty things that will happen to their beer if they don't use a secondary. My opinion is that this step is unnecessary for most beginners, and is more likely to cause infections for inexperienced brewers.
That said, they can be very useful under certain circumstances.
A yeast starter is a way of taking a small yeast culture and making it larger and more active prior to "pitching" it into your wort on brewing day.
A lot of people ask whether you really need to do a yeast starter, and does it really help anyway?
The short answer is that if you are only brewing 5 gallons at a time, and you are using White Labs pitchable yeast (or Wyeast Smack Packs, or something similar), then you probably don't NEED to do a starter. If, on the other hand, you are brewing larger batches, or you are culturing yeast up from a slant, then you definitely need a starter.
You will know for a fact that the yeast is viable and active because it is fermenting and you see bubbles in the airlock. Even store-bought yeast vials can go bad, and you really never know if the yeast is alive or dead until you see it fermenting.
A starter will give you a larger inoculation. This decreases the likelihood of an infection, and increases your yeast's ability to overcome the hardships of going into the beer.
By starting the yeast in a wort that is similar to the beer you are going to make, the yeast will already be acclimated to the environment in which it will be fermenting. This improves the time frame that it takes to get a real fermentation started.
Creating a yeast starter does increase the amount of time it takes to brew since you essentially need to have two brewing sessions instead of one. That said, creating a yeast starter is usually easier than doing a full brew because it doesn't take nearly so long to start the boil, or to cool the wort prior to pitching the yeast. It is also easier to clean small equipment than larger, so you will find that the whole process of creating the starter is something you can easily do in the evening while you are watching TV.
There are three methods to making a yeast starter. Each has its benefits.
Take two cups of wort and a quart of water. Stir them in a saucepan, and bring it to a boil for 15 minutes. If you feel inclined, you can add a small amount of hops to this, but it isn't necessary. Let it cool to room temperature, and then pour the simplified "wort" into a sanitized wine bottle. Put an airlock (sanitized also, of course) on top, and put it in a dark place to ferment.
The best starters are actually just small versions of the larger beer. The reason is that this method gets the yeast acclimated to the environment it is going to be fermenting in. For most Ales this is probably overkill, but if you are making a high-gravity barelywine or some other "exotic" beer that might be on the edge of what the yeast would normally tolerate, then it's a good idea to use this method to acclimate the yeast.
So, you can easily make your starter by simply scaling your beer recipe down. Boil it just as you would for a full batch. Then, just as with the "Bare Minimum Method", you cool it, put it into an appropriately sized (sanitized) container like a wine bottle, and put your (sanitized) airlock on it.
Another option is to make 5 gallons of wort all at once – just as you would if you were making a full-size brew – and then break it up into individual "starter-size" packages. You can freeze them in 1 quart containers, and use them for future brews.
The size of your starters depends on how large your batches are, but thinking in terms of at least a pint, but ideally a quart or more per 5 gallons is a good rule of thumb. My starters are usually two quarts per 5 gallons.
The idea is to have your starter fermenting at full krausen by brew day. Usually, this means making the starter a day or two ahead. I do mine two days before.
Keep in mind that the starter will not produce as many bubbles through the airlock as a full batch will – even when it's at full krausen – simply because it is smaller. This is one of the great reasons to use a clear container for your starter. That way you can see the thick foamy head on the top of your fermenting beer and know it's ready to pitch. Keep in mind that if you use a clear container, you should make sure to keep it out of the sunlight, but in an area that will be the same temperature as you plan to ferment. I put mine in my closet.
When you are ready to pitch your starter into your final brew, place some plastic wrap over the mouth of your starter container, and stir or shake it up really well. Be prepared for the starter to foam up. You want to make sure the yeast sediment on the bottom is nicely suspended before you add it to your final beer.
Finally, just pour the starter into your final wort. You will find that your fermentations will take off in a matter of hours, and you will be much more confident that your yeast are healthy and active on brew day.
Good luck with your brews!

RAPID CITY, S.D. – The demand for transportation and manufacturing workers is rising, and Western Dakota Technical Institute is looking toward the future.
High schoolers participated in a camp put on Wednesday by Western Dakota Tech for a hands-on look at the manufacturing and transportation careers available to them.
Among the different demonstrations, students were able to learn about careers in computer-aided design, drafting and machining technology, and welding.
Doyle Bouzek, program director for automotive technology for Western Dakota Tech, talked about the importance of this program.
Between now and 2026, automotive service technician and mechanic jobs are expected to grow by 6 percent, with diesel service and technician mechanic positions growing by 9 percent.
Students are encouraged to register now for upcoming camps, as space is limited. You can find out more at wdt.edu/camps.
