While mapping the seafloor some 250 miles off the coast of the Australian island of Tasmania, scientists recently discovered what's being called a "volcanic lost world" deep underwater.
The chain of volcanic seamounts — huge undersea mountains that loom as tall as 9,800 feet, or more than six times taller than the Empire State Building — offer a glimpse into a previously unknown ocean ecosystem.
The seamounts vary in size and shape, with some having sharp peaks and others having plateaus, Tara Martin, a researcher with the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation in Hobart, Tasmania, said in a statement. But even the tallest seamounts were still at least 6,500 feet below the ocean's surface.
The scientists also encountered an unusual abundance of marine animals in the area, including humpback and long-finned pilot whales as well as albatrosses, petrels and other seabirds.
The unexpected discovery, made by scientists aboard the organization's research ship Investigator during a 25-day mapping expedition, highlights just how little we really know about the bottom of the ocean.
The Australian researchers plan to study the seamounts off Tasmania in greater detail during future expeditions over the next two months.
Fisher said he's keen to see the results of these follow-up studies, adding that the discovery suggests that many more of these hidden worlds may be out there waiting to be found.

Economic Considerations
An Advisory Panel of clinicians and researchers expert in the field of women's health and menopause were enlisted to review the NAMS 2012 Hormone Therapy Position Statement (www.menopause.org/PSHT12.pdf), evaluate the literature published subsequently, and conduct an evidence-based analysis, with the goal of reaching consensus on recommendations.
NAMS acknowledges that no single trial's findings can be extrapolated to all women. The Women's Health Initiative (WHI) is the only large, long-term RCT of HT in women aged 50 to 79 years, and its findings were given prominent consideration. However, the WHI employed just one route of administration (oral), one formulation of estrogen (conjugated equine estrogens [CEE], 0.625 mg), and only one progestogen (medroxyprogesterone acetate [MPA], 2.5 mg), with limited enrollment of women with bothersome vaso-motor symptoms (VMS; hot flashes, night sweats) who were aged younger than 60 years or who were fewer than 10 years from menopause onset—the group ofwomen for whom HT is primarily indicated. In general, the Panel gave greater consideration to findings from larger RCTs or meta-analyses of larger RCTs and reviewed additional published analyses of the WHI findings; newer outcomes from smaller RCTs; longitudinal observational studies; and additional metaanalyses.
The 2017 Hormone Therapy Position Statement of The North American Menopause Society is based on material related to methodology, a review of key studies and evidence-based literature, and presentation and synthesis of evidence. It was written after this extensive review of the pertinent literature and includes key points identified during the review process. The resulting manuscript was submitted to and approved by the NAMS Board of Trustees.
A scientific background report supporting the 2017 Hormone Therapy Position Statement of The North American Menopause Society can be found online at www.menopause.org/docs/2017-scientific-background.
Explaining Hormone Therapy Risk
Clinicians caring for menopausal women should understand the basic concepts of relative risk (RR) and absolute risk in order to communicate the potential benefits and risks of HT and other therapies. Relative risk (risk ratio) is the ratio of event rates in two groups, whereas absolute risk (risk difference) is the difference in the event rates between two groups.[1]
Odds ratios (ORs; measure of association between exposure and outcome) or risk ratios of 2 and less in observational trials lack credibility and are difficult to interpret.[2] Therefore, these smaller risk ratios can have little clinical or public health importance, especially if outcomes are rare. In properly performed RCTs, smaller risk ratios may be interpreted as having greater credibility and relevance, but low risk ratios provide less assurance that biases, confounding, and other factors do not account for the findings (Table 1).[3]
Odds ratios or risk ratios less than 2 provide less assurance about the findings.
Smaller risk ratios in RCTs have more credibility than in observational studies.

Júlia Ramalho is one of the most popular Portuguese artists and her work is easily identified by her honey-glazed pieces. Born in 1946 in Galegos, Barcelos, Júlia is the granddaughter of well-known ceramist Rosa Ramalho. She learned with her grandmother how to sculpt the clay figurine pieces before turning 10 years old. You can clearly see in her work her grandmothers' artistic aesthetic notably in the Christs, sarrôncos or cabeçudos and even in other pieces of her own creation.
The value raised with this charity auction will support activities for the children and adolescents at risk helped by the association.


A lot of small businesses start out with no thoughts of branding at all. Wanting to save money and just get their name out there is all they focus on, but if you want to really look professional and look like you've got it all together, branding is the way to do it. Find your colors, those that fit your brand. Remember that fonts can give a great impression, or make it look like you don't know what you're doing. And then there's the artwork, graphics, and photos. We can help, even if you're on a small budget.

Historic Sites of Manitoba: Winnipeg Law Courts Building (391 Broadway, Winnipeg)
The construction of this monumental court house between 1912 and 1916 by the National Construction Company (formerly Kelly-Simpson Company), on a design by architect Victor Horwood, marked the peak of a period of dramatic growth for Winnipeg. Its classically-inspired design complemented the nearby Legislative Building and provided an impressive symbol for Manitoba's court system. The high quality of craftsmanship evident throughout the building reflected the extensive capabilities of the local construction industry at that time. The Law Courts illustrate the importance Canadians have long attached to a strong judicial system, as well as the pride and optimism of the people who conceived and built it. A plaque was erected by the Law Courts building by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada. In 2016, a renovation project in the building received a Conservation Award from Heritage Winnipeg.

After such an amazing wedding and honeymoon, I'm back to reality! I will be posting very soon my wedding pictures, just waiting to get the USB with the zillion pics from the photographer in Spain.
I am a fan of all kind of accessories, specially hats and sunnies (I think I have over 20 pairs of sunglasses… ups!) and I am so happy berets are back! I love the European vibe they create! So chic! Do I look Parisian? Bonjour les filles J I especially love wool-felt berets. I feel like those are the original berets… and when paired with a wool- felt jacket they look even more stylish.
Animal print is literally everywhere this fall. From leopard to snakeskin and zebra, the options are endless… At first I wasn't too crazy, but the otherday when I went shopping I decided to give it a try and OMG I love how it looks! In my opinion, animal print is something that looks better on than on the racks… so I suggest you actually try it on even if you don't like it at first and take your look to the wild side this fall!
I decided to go for a maxi cardigan as I feel they are a great layering piece that you can combine in so many ways to create so many looks! This cardigan is perfect for work or play. You can wear an all black look, throw this cardi on and you are ready for a day at the office. Or you can just pair with your favorite tee and denim for a casual look. I decided to wear with a skirt and over the knee boots for a night out with my hubby!
Sandal is officially over and it´s time to rock those over-the-knee boots. Not only they keep you warm, but also look super stylish and make your legs look super long. I would literally buy every single pair of boots in stores… they are all so pretty! But instead I invested in a pair that is good quality and it´s good for every day, for dressing up or just for a casual kinda day. I went for these leather ones because the pointy shape makes them look more dressy, and since they are flat, I wanted them to look put together.
I got these ones last week at the Luxury Designer Warehouse in Toronto last week, but I have linked below similar ones that will look just as good.
I hope you like these looks! Let me know below which one is your fave. And don´t forget to follow me on the Instagram for my daily looks and on the @liketoknow.it app where you have shopping links to most of the looks I post on my Instagram.
so excited to get your posts in my inbox!!!
aw thanks babe!!! you are so sweet!
I love boots! These are a must during the fall season for me!
I am loving this bucket bag! I think I am going to get it in black too!
I love all of these trends!!!
Thanks babe! I am so happy berets are back too!


HMAS Creswell College Building Works is a construction project based in Jervis Bay Territory ACT within the Defence sector. The project has an approximate budget of $5m - $10m, and quotes closed on 11th of December, 2018. To find out more, please read below.


Note: The Consul team released 1.4.2 shortly after the 1.4.1 release to fix a regression that impacted Nomad users. Please refer to the 1.4.2 mailing list announcement or the changelog for more details. At this time we recommend upgrading directly to 1.4.2.
We are excited to announce the release of HashiCorp Consul 1.4.1. Consul is a service mesh which provides service discovery, runtime configuration, and secure service-to-service communication for distributed applications and infrastructure.
Consul 1.4.1 is a minor release that includes a number of important bug fixes for Consul Connect and our newly released ACL system.
TLS commands and improved guide. A new subcommand consul tls was added to make it easier to bootstrap TLS for Consul agents. As part of this, our TLS guide was updated and improved.
Expanded transaction API support. Common catalog operations for nodes, services, and checks have been added to the transaction API. This can increase safety for integrations that manage the lifecycle of services in the catalog. consul-esm will be released following 1.4.1 with support for these new APIs.
Local agent health queries. A new API /v1/agent/health/service/name/:service_name was added, enabling queries of the health catalog against the local agent rather than querying the Consul server directly.
CIDR allow list for HTTP. A new allow_write_http_from configuration can be configured to allow CIDR network ranges that can make non GET/HEAD/OPTIONS HTTP requests.
Gossip performance improvements for very large clusters. Bootstrapping time for large scale gossip clusters should be greatly improved in this release. More details on the changes and performance impact can be found here. Thanks to critical feedback from the community in making these changes possible.
Prepared query support in Envoy. When utilizing the Envoy proxy for Connect, prepared queries now work as upstreams.
CSR rate limiting. Connect related certificate signing is now rate limited during certificate rotations across large clusters to ensure servers aren't overwhelmed.
This release also included many smaller bug fixes. Full details can be found in the 1.4.1 changelog.
In December 2018, we determined that there was a misleading statement in our documentation and issue in implementation for TLS configuration for agent-to-agent TLS in Consul. This vulnerability affected versions 0.5.1 - 1.4.0 of Consul, both OSS and Enterprise. This issue was able to be remediated by modifying agent configuration and restarting agents. We notified the community of this issue, updated our documentation, and in this release corrected the underlying behavior.
This can be remediated on all affected versions of Consul by following the instructions here, or by upgrading to 1.4.1.
Support for Consul and Kubernetes continues to improve with releases of the Consul Helm chart and consul-k8s. This includes support for syncing ClusterIP services and improved RBAC support. Full changelogs are available with more detail: consul-helm and consul-k8s.
We continue to invest in making Consul and Kubernetes easy to use together, and have some short-term improvements planned for easier ACL and TLS configuration via Helm.
Our recently formed dedicated education team released new training content for learn.hashicorp.com. This release is focused on education for operators and has been placed in two tracks; Day 1: Deploying Your First Datacenter learning path and Day 2: Advanced Operations track.
Some existing guides for Consul have been improved and migrated to this new Learn site. This process will continue in the coming months.
Please review the v1.4.1 changelog for a detailed list of changes. If you are upgrading the ACL system, refer to the 1.4.0 upgrade guide for more information.
As always, please test in an isolated environment before upgrading. Consul 1.4.1 is also available in Consul Enterprise.
Thank you to our active community members who have been invaluable in adding new features, reporting bugs, and improving the documentation for Consul in this release.

The Amazing Hindu Milk Miracle
Our eyes sometimes show us something that is very hard to believe. Just like the Hindu milk miracle that happened in India where people claimed that the statues of Hindu gods began to drink milk. It is a phenomenon that happened in September 1995. The news that Hindu god statues were drinking milk spread like wildfire through telephones, televisions, and word of mouth. It caught the attention of a great number of people specifically in the media. In fact, giant news company such as the BBC and the New York Times even covered the strange phenomenon. But how did it start? Is it really true? Let's find out.
How Did the Hindu Milk Miracle Start?
The Hindu Milk Miracle started at the dawn of September 21, 1995, when a worshipper at a temple in south New Delhi offered milk to a statue of Ganesha. The worshipper held up a spoonful of milk from the bowl to the trunk of the statue. That's when the miracle happened because the milk miraculously disappeared and the worshipper assumed that it was taken by the statue. The word about the milk drinking statue started to spread quickly and when mid-morning came, people claimed that all the statues of the entire Hindu gods in temples all throughout India were drinking milk.
Noon came and the news of the statues drinking milk has spread beyond India and Hindu temples in Canada, the United Kingdom, Nepal, UAE, and several other countries successfully copied the strange phenomenon. It even came to a point that the Vishva Hindu Parishad announced that the phenomenon that is happening is indeed a miracle.
The Hindu Milk Miracle became so hyped that it had a significant effect on the areas where the temples are located. It caused a pedestrian and vehicular traffic in New Delhi that was dense enough it started a gridlock that lasted until the wee hours of the evening. Stores and supermarkets said that there was a massive demand for milk that day, in fact, the overall milk sales in New Delhi skyrocketed over 30 percent more than the regular basis. Small temples even struggled to accommodate the surprising increase of visitors because the lines spilled out into the streets. However, despite a large number of people lining up outside waiting to witness a miracle, the popular Sidhi Vinayak temple decided to close its gates because a lot of people started to notice that the Ganesha idol in that temple refused to drink milk.
What is the explanation behind the Milk Miracle?
One expert from India's Ministry of Science and Technology know that there is an explanation behind this strange phenomenon. That is why he decided to go to a temple in New Delhi to make an offering of milk that has food coloring in it. it showed that the level of the milk in the spoon dropped, however, after the milk disappeared from the spoon, it coated the statue beneath where the spoon was placed. That is why they concluded that the phenomenon is caused by capillary action it happens when liquid flow without the assistance of external forces like gravity. In this case, the surface tension of the milk was pulling the liquid up and out of the spoon and they even demonstrated how the Hindus were persuaded to believe that it is a miracle.
But to those who firmly believed that the phenomenon is indeed a miracle, further proof was shown when the statues refused to drink more milk by the end of the day. Skeptics also believed that the world famous incident is just an example of another mass hysteria where people believe the same phenomenon whether it is real or imaginary.
Despite all the scientific explanations, believers still accept the strange phenomenon as a miracle. There is even a website called milkmiracle.com where it contains videos, a guestbook, and even a FAQ page about the Hindu Milk Miracle.

The taco is the quintessential Mexican sandwich. It's a major part of Tex-Mex cuisine and is first cited in English (1901) in a book about Mexico City.
A taco is a traditional Mexican dish comprised of a rolled or folded, pliable maize tortilla filled with an edible substance. According to the Real Academia Española, the word taco originally meant (and still means) a plug (as in rolled paper used plug a hole) or paper or cloth patch for musket balls. Care should be taken when using the word taco outside of Mexico, as the RAE lists 27 possible meanings for the word. A taco is normally served flat on a tortilla that has been warmed up on a comal; since the tortilla is still soft, it can be folded over or pinched together into a U-shape for convenient consumption. In the variant known as the taco dorado (fried taco), flauta (Flute in English, because of the shape), or taquito, the tortilla is filled with pre-cooked chicken or barbacoa, rolled into a cylinder and deep-fried until crisp.
There in the gutter stands a young man of about fifteen, eating a taco (which is a fried turn-over, filled with chopped, highly-seasoned meats—I once purchased one in a briefly seductive cook-shop) and chatting with a pretty little girl, of perhaps twelve, with a baby on her hip.
Made by putting chopped cooked beef and chile sauce in tortilla made of meal and flour; folded, edges sealed together with egg; fried in deep fat, chile sauce served on it.
The vending wagons in question appear about sunset along the curb near the Old Baker Block. They are replicas of the booths found around the plaza of every Mexican town, and are tended by blanketed men and women who cry their wares with musical cadence. One may sup on barbacoa, that gruesome delicacy of a roast sheep's head, or taquitos, chopped meat and pepper wrapped in a tortilla and fried. The booths are open from sundown to the "Madruga," or false dawn, when the laborers of ditch or ranch come to get their big bowls of menudo, that peasant breakfast dish of stewed tripe, washed down with black coffee. There is much red pepper in each of these dishes, giving that stimulating effect so much prized by the "gente baja" but which would give acute indigestion to those of nicer tastes.
Late that afternoon—the purple waters of Guaymas Bay, and Empalme. Just outside the station we spent out twenty centavos for several tacos, with chili, and coffee; then walked through the tree-shaded town.
Calling to one of the vendors swarming on the platform, we invested our twenty-five centavos in tacos and oranges—our first food of the day. Our purchases attracted a number of urchins, who came up all agog to the door of the box car to stare and question.
Thoroughgoing bum that I was, that night I ate tacos at Novadades de Mexico.
The tortilla is principally bread, but it is the foundation for many dishes. An enchilada is nothing but a tortilla with chopped meat and other things rolled up in it. A taco is a tortilla folded over meat and vegetables and toasted a little. One of my fondest recollections is of the days when we kids used to improvice tacos at the table at home.
We would lay a tortilla on the tablecloth, spread a couple of spoonfuls of fried rice on it, garnish it with frijoles, roll it up and go to it. As we squeezed the top of the taco in biting it, rice and beans would drop out the bottom. Then mother's knuckles would descend on the crown of the offender, and we would receive a general lecture on table manners.
I am glad that so many little awning-stands have sprung up on the Paseo. Somehow a taco or an enchilada eaten out in the open tastes a little better than the same dish served on a tablecloth—for all that the "senorita's" eyes remind me of summer evenings in Mazatlan. Then besides, there is the "menudo," which should never be eaten under any roof but a canvas one.
The tacos are the Mexican sandwiches, rolled in tortillas instead of between bread.
LITTLE SANDWICH—Those hot peppers in vinegar and oil are to order when a dish is chosen lacking in heat, such as egg combination and the tacos. A taco is a sandwich, a tortilla folded around a spicy but not hot filling of pork, cheese, sausage or beef. You can have these "soft," with the tortilla merely toasted, or with the tortilla fried. To fry, it is dropped a second in hot shallow fat then quickly out and the filling placed on one side and the tortilla folded over while it's still limber.

Although the surname Croft is found throughout Lancashire these days (as well as in other parts of England and also Australia and America), the origin of the family is quite specific and can be traced back almost a thousand years through Lancashire and Westmoreland to Herefordshire. The attached article (pdf document download at the foot of this page) is taken from my website www.croftfamilyhistory.com where I have documented my own family line from its origins before the Norman Conquest to the present day.
The Croft Family in England originate in the county of Herefordshire. The word 'CROFT' is of Saxon origin, and refers to a farm. The CROFT family are not of Saxon origin however, but were Normans introduced to Herefordshire before the Conquest, in the time of Edward the Confessor (around 1050). The family were styled 'de Crofte' (of Croft) for four hundred years, the name being taken from the place in which they settled and made their home. Croft Ambrey, the iron-age hill fort situated close by Croft Castle (the ancestral home of the Croft family) dates back to the 4th century B.C. and is said to be the site of Caractus's resistance against the Romans in the 1st century A.D.; the name 'Croft Ambrey' comes from the British King Aurelius Ambrosius who made it his camp in the 5th century A.D.
The Croft name first appeared in Lancashire around 1180, when Roger de Crofte was Lord of the manor of Dalton, and although his origin cannot be proven, it is generally accepted that he was the first of the Croft family to move north from Herefordshire, and was kin (possibly a brother) of Hugh de Crofte, Lord of Croft Castle. The Crofts prospered in Dalton and became a prominent family during the Middle Ages, the line eventually becoming extinct around the middle of the 15th century.
Around the same time, a branch of the family in Claughton began to increase in importance, eventually becoming Lords of the manor of Claughton in the 16th and 17th centuries and residing at Claughton Hall. The family eventually owned land and property throughout the Lune Valley, but due to their adherence to the Roman Catholic religion, and refusal to accept the new Church of England, they were repeatedly fined and eventually lost virtually all their wealth, lands and properties. The manor of Claughton finally left Croft ownership in 1702 when it was purchased by Thomas Fenwick of Burrow. His family held it until 1898 when it was sold to the Claughton Manor Brick Company who still hold it to the present day.
The Croft family spread out from Claughton throughout the Lune Valley area and beyond during the 16th and 17th centuries; the name can be found in all the surrounding villages during this time. With regard to Caton, the first member of the family to begin baptising children at Caton Church was Gabriell Crofte (and his wife, Ellin) during the early 1600s. Gabriell and his family actually lived in Littledale, at Tonguemoor House (an ancient building dating back to the 1400's or possibly even earlier, sadly demolished in the 1970s!). From Gabriell, the family increased and flourished in Littledale, eventually owning or occupying several farms and cottages, and continued to live in this area for at least 5 more generations until the mid 1700s, after which the family dispersed to the surrounding villages. Tonguemoor itself remained in the family until around the year 1700, which is when the last document I have found refers to a member of the Croft family as being "of Tonguemoor".
As previously mentioned, the various branches of the Littledale Croft family gradually dispersed during the second half of the 18th century, some going to Melling and Hornby, while some continued hill farming and moved from Littledale towards Wray and Roeburndale, living at Park House, Haylot , Deepclough, Smeer Hall and Craggs at various times during the late 18th and 19th century. These branches can be traced via the census returns, and members of the family spread throughout the Lune Valley to Kirkby Lonsdale, Warton, Silverdale and Borwick. In addition, a few descendants of the Croft family of Claughton and Littledale can still be found living in the Lune Valley to the present day.
During the course of my research into my family history I have collected many documents, and references, most of which are not included on my website. If you have an interest in family history in this area, particularly with reference to the Croft family, please feel free to contact me at stevecroftdriving@hotmail.com, and I'll be happy to share any information I have with you.


About this blog | Chronicles of a "Mini-Pro"
We share an interest in common. I found myself enamored with horses at an early age and have been fortunate enough to parlay this passion into a full time career.
In this blog, you will read a variety of different types of posts—stories of my own personal experiences with horses, reports from clinics which I have participated in, reflections, observations and insights from my own riding, teaching or training, book reviews and training tips. I hope to share the ups and the downs which any equestrian experiences, and hope that we can mutually celebrate the highs and carry each other through the lows.
The longer I have been around horses, the more I feel there is to learn about them. Please leave your comments when a post resonates with you, and if you feel so inclined, "follow" this blog!

T-Mobile's coverage is miles better than 12 months ago – but only if you have an Android phone
By Chris Mills @chrisfmills
A little under one year ago, T-Mobile turned on the first site in the US to use its 600MHz frequency, a low-band chunk of spectrum that provides much more consistent coverage, especially indoors or in rural areas. Building out the new network on a nationwide scale isn't a simple process, but the company just announced that it's now up and running in 900 cities and towns across 32 states, a huge achievement in just 10 months.
Of course, as with everything in life, there's a catch. The 600MHz spectrum — which you'll also hear referred to as Band 71 or Extended Range LTE — was until very recently used to broadcast analog TV into homes. T-Mobile is the first network in the world to use it for LTE, and as a result, the majority of phones don't support it yet. That's changing fast — recent flagship Android phones from Samsung and LG are compatible — but for anyone using an iPhone or an older Android device, all of T-Mobile's efforts to roll out its 600MHz network mean nothing.
To call it a "massive milestone" is really an understatement. Normally, rolling out new spectrum takes years. Verizon, for example, bought 700MHz spectrum from the FCC in a similar auction in 2008, and didn't turn the network on until 2010. T-Mobile has a list of every town and city that currently has some B71 deployed; this map from Spectrum Gateway is a few months out of date, but is much easier to browse. T-Mobile owns 600MHz spectrum covering all of the United States, so everywhere should be covered eventually. However, some regions still have TV stations broadcasting on the 600MHz channels, and those stations have to be migrated before T-Mobile can activate its service.
In addition to deploying B71 across the lower 48 states, T-Mobile is also incorporating it into its ongoing infrastructure rebuild in Puerto Rico. "After the devastating hurricanes that hit Puerto Rico last year, we saw an opportunity to rebuild the network better than new — to rebuild with 5G-ready gear. We're laying the foundation for the island to become a technology and innovation hub in the future while adding coverage and capacity with 600 MHz LTE this year," said Neville Ray, Chief Technology Officer for T-Mobile. "The team is working at record pace to deploy 600 MHz LTE throughout the country, and we're already expanding the network and challenging the Duopoly in places they've never had to compete before."
As for devices: right now, T-Mobile has six 600MHz-capable devices, including the LG V30, Samsung Galaxy S9, and Galaxy S9+. It says another dozen "across all price points" will launch this year. The big question, arguably, remains whether Apple will deign to launch a 600MHz-capable iPhone this year.

Webinar: Linked by the sand: Leveraging natural synergies between saltmarshes and barrier islands to improve coastal resiliency
Tuesday, 28 September 2021, 12:00
Tuesday, September 28, 2021. 12:00 PM. Webinar: Linked by the sand: Leveraging natural synergies between saltmarshes and barrier islands to improve coastal resiliency. Christopher Hein, Virginia Institute of Marine Science. Sponsored by NOAA. Register here (Requires Adobe Connect).
Abstract: Barrier islands and their adjacent saltmarshes have a synergistic relationship: wind and storm processes transport sediment from the beaches and dunes to create and build marshes along the landward fringe of the island. In turn, these marshes exert a stabilizing influence on the island by forming a platform onto which the island migrates, consequently slowing landward barrier migration and inhibiting storm breaching. This presentation will introduce these barrier- marsh couplings and highlight a novel framework for applying them to coastal management. Further, it will detail a case study of the design of a marsh creation project that showcases the engagement of scientists, engineers, stakeholders, and policymakers. Specifically, it will describe (1) the geologic and ecologic data obtained from the southern 4 km of Cedar Island (Virginia, USA) and nearby back barrier tidal channels, tidal flats, and flood-tidal deltas and (2) the use of those data to develop an engineering and design plan for the construction of a high (46 ha) and low (42 ha) fringing marsh platform located behind the island, proximal to a former ephemeral inlet. Construction of this marsh would(1) provide additional habitat and ecosystem benefits, (2) slow the rapid migration of Cedar Island, and (3) hinder island breaching. The presentation will also chronicle project design selection, which involved balancing best-available existing science and models, considering design and financial constraints, identifying stakeholder preferences, and maximizing restoration benefits of habitat provision and shoreline protection. Ultimately, the project to be presented "presently at the final design and permitting stage" may enhance the storm and sea-level rise resilience of the island, backbarrier marshes and lagoons, and the mainland town community; and provide an example of a novel science-based approach to coastal resilience that could be applied to managing other coupled marsh-barrier settings.
Bio(s): Christopher Hein is a coastal marine geologist at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS), William & Mary (W&M). He received a bachelor's degree in Earth Science from Cornell University in 2003 and a doctoral degree in coastal geology from Boston University in 2012. Prior to starting at VIMS in 2013, Hein completed a two-year postdoctoral fellowship at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Hein's research is primarily focused on coastal change, and forecasting the impacts of sea-level rise, changing coastal sediment supplies, and increased frequency/intensity of storms on barrier islands, dunes, marshes, tidal inlets, and the communities that live, work, and recreate on them. He does this primarily through looking at the past record of coastal change over the last several thousand years, preserved in the sediment and the historic records. Hein is also an active educator: he currently advises four graduate students and six undergraduates, and co-directs the VIMS/W&M Undergraduate Program in Marine Science.

A Myth Called The Palestinian People
Stop Islamization Of The World

Notes on the scum who'll be at the West Mids UAF Conference (2.4.2011)
West Mids UAF conference: Stop the rise of the far right
West Midlands UAF is holding a conference on stopping the rise of the far right, on Saturday 2 April.
Speakers for the event include Jack Dromey MP, Cllr Salma Yaqoob, UAF joint secretaries Weyman Bennett and Sabby Dhalu, John Partridge – Midlands assistant general secretary at Unitethe union, Paul Scarrat of Yorkshire and Humber UAF and speakers from the Muslim Association of Briatin and the North Staffs Campaign Against Racism and Fascism.
While the electoral rise of the BNP has been checked by antifascist campaigning, the threat posed by racist and fascist ideology is far from over.
Across Europe and the US we have seen a rising tide of racism, particularly aimed at Muslims. In Britain, this has encouraged a climate in which ideas that few years ago would have been regarded as completely racist are now seen as increasingly 'respectable', and has spurred on the rise of the English Defence League.
West Midlands UAF says:
"The sustained attack on the very idea of multiculturalism coming from mainstream politicians has been taken up and sharpened by the far right. That is why we need to keep organising to stop the rise of the far right."
The conference will take up three themes:
1. DEFEATING THE BNP AT THE BALLOT BOX. Antiracists and antifascists must continue to organise against the British National Party electorally, so that the humiliation they suffered in Barking and Dagenham last year is repeated wherever they stand.
2. NO TO THE RACIST THUGS OF THE EDL. Wherever the EDL spread their message of hatred and violence, antiracists must demonstrate for a diverse society.
3. OPPOSE ISLAMOPHOBIA, DEFEND MULTICULTURALISM. We must organise to defend our diverse society from those who hate it.
The conference will be open to all who wish to stand against the rise of the far right and build a diverse multicultural society.
Saturday 2 April, 10am to 1pm.
For more information, to book a place, or to contribute, email West Mids UAF or phone 07949 622 903
Notes on some of the speakers at the West Mids UAF Conference
Sabby Dhalu – Basically a career 'anti-fascist' and an intellectual/political non-entity. She's Asian (as Alan Partridge would put it) and may have got her job as an act of Leftist positive and pious discrimination.
Jack Dromey MP – MP for Birmingham's Erdington; though that doesn't stop him from having two other houses – one in leafy Suffolk and the other in politically-correct Herne Hill, South London.
He's married to the super-posh Harriet 'I was born to lead' Harman. Harman, of course, began life as a Trot, as did Dromey, and ended up as a snobby Fabian-type New Labourite (as so many have done) who loves to tell people how to live their lives – as Fabians have always done and as Trots would like to do. Jack Dromey MP has been involved in three serious financial scandals in his time and is Labour Treasurer… ummm.
Coun. Salma Yaqoob – Leader of No Respect
John Partridge – Of the far-left union Unite. That's it. Oh, he appears at conferences like this one too.
Paul Scarrat – Just UAF and he too appears at conferences like this.
The Muslim Association of Britain – The MAB is actively pro-Palestinian. In 2002, it organised a large pro-Palestinian rally in London. Some of the demonstrators dressed up as suicide bombers in support of Hamas and other Islamoterrorists (as was also the case at the 2006 demo outside the Danish embassy, which was also organised by the MAB).
The MAB played a key part in the Stop the War Coalition and helped organise the rally against the war in Iraq (2003). It also did the same in London in Feb 2006, outside the Danish Embassy, against the Danish Cartoons. That is, against the democratic right of free speech and free expression; something these Islamists themselves practice and enjoy but only in order to stop others (non-Muslims) from doing so themselves.
The MAB organised the visit of al-Qaradawi to the UK on 2004. This much-loved Islamist cleric believes in wife-beating, physical punishment for homosexuality, 'martyrdom' (suicide bombings) against Israeli citizens and, last not least, he's a personal friend of Red Kenneth (once 'rainbow' and 'red', now 'green' – in the Islamist, not Green Party, sense). He has also described the Islamist insurgency in Iraq as 'valiant'.
Dr Azzam al-Tamimi, MAB spokesman, has said that suicide bombings are part of the Islamist 'struggle'. Has said that Israel will be destroyed and replaced by an Islamic state, and that Jews should 'sail on the sea in ships back to where they came from and all drown in it' (2003). He has also said:
'As a Muslim, martyrdom is an integral part of Islamic theology and these young men from the Islamic perspective are not committing suicide… What they are doing is that they are turning themselves as an act of sacrifice into bombs…'
Osama Saeed, former spokesman of MAB and now prominent at Al Jazeera, has said that it's not up to British Muslims to defeat or do anything about Islamoterrorism. Not only that. He once said that attacking the idea of the universal Islamic caliphate was 'the equivalent of criticising the Pope'.
Mohammed Kassem Sawalha is a former president of the MAB. According to US court documents, in the early 1990s Sawalha was a leading militant 'in charge of Hamas terrorist operations within the West Bank'.
Get the connections? Muslim Brotherhood – MAB – Hamas.
The MAB is the Muslim Brotherhood's British branch.
The Muslim Brotherhood started its Islamoterrorist campaign of bombings and assassinations in the late 1920s, twenty years before the formation of Israel, forty or so years before Israel 'occupied' the West Bank and Gaza, and around seventy-five years before the US/UK 'invasions' of Afghanistan and Iraq.

The Palestinians are not as innocent as the left wing likes to make out.
Share this link and educate people to what they are supporting when they shout, 'Free Palestine' or say Hamas and Hezbolah are Freedom fighters, we let these people march in our cities and it costs the tax payer millions and what do we get for our money.

At Stonyhurst College, Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) describes those areas of the curriculum, both inside and outside the classroom that deal with personal and social growth and development, health and wellbeing.
PSHE lessons, alongside the formal curriculum, Theology General, Retreats, the extra-curricular programme and pastoral care are designed to help students to discover and put into practice ways of achieving a state of well-being for themselves and to support others in doing so.
PSHE is therefore the planned provision for emotional and social development that provides continuity and progression, breadth and balance and takes into account the intellectual, physical, spiritual and emotional development of pupils at various stages of their life at Stonyhurst.
It helps pupils to develop a secure sense of identity and to function well in the world. It helps give pupils 'the knowledge, skills and understanding they need to lead confident, healthy, independent lives and to become 'informed, active, responsible citizens in a rapidly changing world'.

(quoted in The Gene: an intimate history, by Siddhartha Mukherjee)
Gregor Mendel
I've recently read Siddhartha Mukherjee's monumental book The Gene: an intimate history, a work of literature as well as science, and I don't know quite where to start with its explorations and insights, but since, as a teacher to international students some of whom come from Arabic countries, I'm occasionally faced with disbelief regarding the Darwin-Wallace theory of natural selection from random variation (usually in some such form as 'you don't really believe we come from monkeys do you?'), I think it might be interesting, and useful for me, to trace the connections, in time and ideas, between that theory and the discovery of genes that the theory essentially led to.
One of the problems for Darwin's theory, as first set down, was how variations could be fixed in subsequent generations. And of course another problem was – how could a variation occur in the first place? How were traits inherited, whether they varied from the parent or not? As Mukherjee points out, heredity needed to be both regular and irregular for the theory to work.
There were few clues in Darwin's day about inheritance and mutation. Apart from realising that it must have something to do with reproduction, Darwin himself could only half-heartedly suggest an unoriginal notion of blending inheritance, while also leaning at times towards Lamarckian inheritance of acquired characteristics – which he at other times scoffed at.
Mukherjee argues here that Darwin's weakness was impracticality: he was no experimenter, though a keen observer. The trouble was that no amount of observation, in Darwin's day, would uncover genes. Even Mendel was unable to do that, at least not in the modern DNA sense. But in any case Darwin lacked Mendel's experimental genius. Still, he did his best to develop a hypothesis of inheritance, knowing it was crucial to his overall theory. He called it pangenesis. It involved the idea of 'gemmules' inhabiting every cell of an organism's body and somehow shaping the varieties of organs, tissues, bones and the like, and then specimens of these varied gemmules were collected into the germ cells to produce 'mixed' offspring, with gemmules from each partner. Darwin describes it rather vaguely in his book The Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication, published in 1868:
They [the gemmules] are collected from all parts of the system to constitute the sexual elements, and their development in the next generation forms the new being; but they are likewise capable of transmission in a dormant state to future generations and may then be developed.
Darwin himself admitted his hypothesis to be 'rash and crude', and it was effectively demolished by a very smart Scotsman, Fleeming Jenkin, who pointed out that a trait would be diluted away by successive unions with those who didn't have it (Jenkin gave as an example the trait of whiteness, i.e. having 'white gemmules', but a better example would be that of blue eyes). With an intermingling of sexual unions, specific traits would be blended over time into a kind of uniform grey, like paint pigments (think of Blue Mink's hit song 'Melting Pot').
Darwin was aware of and much troubled by Jenkin's critique, but he (and the scientific world) wasn't aware that a paper published in 1866 had provided the solution – though he came tantalisingly close to that awareness. The paper, 'Experiments in Plant Hybridisation', by Gregor Mendel, reported carefully controlled experiments in the breeding of pea plants. First Mendel isolated 'true-bred' plants, noting seven true-bred traits, each of which had two variants (smooth or wrinkled seeds; yellow or green seeds; white or violet coloured flowers; flowers at the tip or at the branches; green or yellow pods; smooth or crumpled pods; tall or short plants). These variants of a particular trait are now known as alleles.
Next, he began a whole series of painstaking experiments in cross-breeding. He wanted to know what would happen if, say, a green-podded plant was crossed with a yellow-podded one, or if a short plant was crossed with a tall one. Would they blend into an intermediate colour or height, or would one dominate? He was well aware that this was a key question for 'the history of the evolution of organic forms', as he put it.
He experimented in this way for some eight years, with thousands of crosses and crosses of crosses, and the more the crosses multiplied, the more clearly he found patterns emerging. The first pattern was clear – there was no blending. With each crossing of true-bred variants, only one variant appeared in the offspring – only tall plants, only round peas and so on. Mendel named them as dominant traits, and the non-appearing ones as recessive. This was already a monumental result, blowing away the blending hypothesis, but as always, the discovery raised as many questions as answers. What had happened to the recessive traits, and why were some traits recessive and others dominant?
Further experimentation revealed that disappeared traits could reappear in toto in further cross-breedings. Mendel had to carefully analyse the relations between different recessive and dominant traits as they were cross-bred in order to construct a mathematical model of the different 'indivisible, independent particles of information' and their interactions.
Although Mendel was alert to the importance of his work, he was spectacularly unsuccessful in alerting the biological community to this fact, due partly to his obscurity as a researcher, and partly to the underwhelming style of his landmark paper. Meanwhile others were aware of the centrality of inheritance to Darwin's evolutionary theory. The German embryologist August Weismann added another nail to the coffin of the 'gemmule' hypothesis in 1883, a year after Darwin's death, by showing that mice with surgically removed tails – thus having their 'tail gemmules' removed – never produced tail-less offspring. Weismann presented his own hypothesis, that hereditary information was always and only passed down vertically through the germ-line, that's to say, through sperm and egg cells. But how could this be so? What was the nature of the information passed down, information that could contain stability and change at the same time?
The Dutch botanist Hugo de Vries, inspired by a meeting with Darwin himself not long before the latter's death, was possessed by these questions and, though Mendel was completely unknown to him, he too looked for the answer through plant hybridisation, though less systematically and without the good fortune of hitting on true-breeding pea plants as his subjects. However, he gradually became aware of the particulate nature of hereditary information, with these particles (he called them 'pangenes', in deference to Darwin's 'pangenesis'), passing down information intact through the germ-line. Sperm and egg contributed equally, with no blending. He reported his findings in a paper entitled Hereditary monstrosities in 1897, and continued his work, hoping to develop a more detailed picture of the hereditary process. So imagine his surprise when in 1900 a colleague sent de Vries a paper he'd unearthed, written by 'a certain Mendel' from the 1860s, which displayed a clearer understanding of the hereditary process than anyone had so far managed. His response was to rush his own most recent work into press without mentioning Mendel. However, two other botanists, both as it happened working with pea hybrids, also stumbled on Mendel's work at the same time. Thus, in a three-month period in 1900, three leading botanists wrote papers highly indebted to Mendel after more than three decades of profound silence.
The next step of course, was to move beyond Mendel. De Vries, who soon corrected his unfair treatment of his predecessor, sought to answer the question 'How do variants arise in the first place?' He soon found the answer, and another solid proof of Darwin's natural selection. The 'random variation' from which nature selected, according to the theory, could be replaced by a term of de Vries' coinage, 'mutation'. The Dutchman had collected many thousands of seeds from a wild primrose patch during his country rambles, which he planted in his garden. He identified some some 800 new variants, many of them strikingly original. These random 'spontaneous mutants', he realised, could be combined with natural selection to create the engine of evolution, the variety of all living things. And key to this variety wasn't the living organisms themselves but their units of inheritance, units which either benefitted or handicapped their offspring under particular conditions of nature.
The era of genetics had begun. The tough-minded English biologist William Bateson became transfixed on reading a later paper of de Vries, citing Mendel, and henceforth became 'Mendel's bulldog'. In 1905 he coined the word 'genetics' for the study of heredity and variation, and successfully promoted that study at his home base, Cambridge. And just as Darwin's idea of random variation sparked a search for the source of that variation, the idea of genetics and those particles of information known as 'genes' led to a worldwide explosion of research and inquiry into the nature of genes and how they worked – chromosomes, haploid and diploid cells, DNA, RNA, gene expression, genomics, the whole damn thing. We now see natural selection operating everywhere we're prepared to look, as well as the principles of 'artificial' or human selection, in almost all the food we eat, the pets we fondle, and the superbugs we try so desperately to contain or eradicate. But of course there's so much more to learn….

Grandad Beck
My Great Grandfathers life in the early 20th century as a Police officer in West Dorset
Arthur Percy Beck married Rebecca Illes at Buckland Newton
Rebecca Illes and Arthur Percy Beck married at Buckland Newton Church, in Dorset on Wednesday 26th August 1896. Grandad Beck's father Eli and his sister Olive signed the church register. I don't have any early photographs of Rebecca, the ones below were taken in the early 1900s.
Grandad Beck and Rebecca
The banns of marriage
The marriage banns were read for Grandad Beck at The Holy Trinity Church, Stourpaine, Dorset and Rebecca at Holy Rood Church, Buckland Newton but this doesn't tell us the whole story. From the Police Duties Book, Dorset Constabulary we know that Grandad Beck started at Lyme Regis on 8th August, which suggests he wasn't at Stourpaine for his banns to be called. I am assuming that he spent the two weeks before his wedding at Lyme Regis. A police constable, at this time, only got one weeks holiday per year. It is likely that he had to work the first year before he could take any holiday, as was usual up until the 1970s. Therefore the timing of the wedding nearly 18 months after Grandad Beck joined the police suggest this could have been his first time off work.
As the banns for Rebecca were read at Buckland Newton, I thought this may have been were she was working and they met. Rebecca had spent her adult working as a servant in various houses. From the censuses we can get a glimpse of Rebecca's working life.

Rebecca Illes
In 1871 nine-year-old Rebecca was living with her parents and 4 siblings at Sydenham Farm near Broadwell in Gloucestershire. Her father, John, farmed 116 acres, he employed 3 Men and 2 Boy. One of these boys could have been his son Jacob who was 14 years old. On 18th October 1877 Rebecca's father died. The family were in financial difficulty and had to sell a hay rick due to being behind with the farm rent. This was in August, 2 months before John Illes died, suggesting that he may have been ill for a while or perhaps the financial problems contributed to his death.
Advert Oxford Journal – Saturday 04 August 1877
10 years later, Rebecca's mother Elizabeth was living in Broadwell on her own. In his will, John had left his wife his property and money which she continued to live off of this for the rest of her life. In the Index of Wills and Probate his effects were under £800, this must have been a considerable sum in 1877. I can't find any further trace of Rebecca's brother, Jacob Jackson Illes. Jacob middle name Jackson, was his mother's maiden name. Rebecca went into service sometime between the two censuses and in 1881 was working at Ormerod House, Cliviger, Lancashire as an agricultural dairymaid. A skill she may have learnt on her father's farm.
In the 1891 census Rebecca, now 29 years old, had moved into a larger house. Pierrepont House, Frensham, Surrey and was working in the kitchens as a dairymaid. Between 1891 and 1895 when she married, Rebecca was to met Grandad Beck but how and where was the question that intrigued the family. In 1894 Rebecca's mother, Elizabeth, died at Broadwell, Gloucestershire. Elizabeth didn't leave a will but Rebecca was the daughter that sorted out her affairs and named on the Letters of Administration. This was fortunate for me because it gave an address for Rebecca.
Rebecca, possibly taken at Dorchester C1910-15
Herringston House
In the 1891 census Grandad Beck was working as a gardener at Herringston House near Dorchester. Herringston is the address that Rebecca gave on the form, therefore it is likely that this is where they met and fell in love. When Grandad Beck joined the police, he was 20 years old, Rebecca was 34 years old. While a 14 year gap is not unusual where the bride is younger than the groom, I am sure the age gap between these two caused some comment. Especially as Grandad Beck was under 21 years. For the 18 months until they married Rebecca and Grandad Beck must have corresponded by letter. It is possible that Grandad Beck may have visited Dorchester police station and they managed to meet but he is unlikely to have had any officially time off.
I have no idea what position Rebecca held at Herringston. Herringston House is the only premises that employed more than one servant, so it is unlikely that she worked anywhere else. I did find one possibility in July 1892 Mrs William's advertised in the Western Gazette for a Cook, was this the job that Rebecca applied for? Family legend says that she was a housekeeper. The senior female servant at Herringston House in the 1891 census was a housekeeper and there was no cook listed. While there was a cook but no housekeeper in the 1901 census, it is possible that the job was a combination of the two. My only issue with this is to go from being a Dairymaid to Cook in 1 year is a big step up but I don't think impossible.
Western Gazette – Friday 15 July 1892
I think it is likely that Rebecca left Herringston shortly before the wedding, so that her banns could be called at Buckland Newton. Probably staying in Grandad Beck's old home with his family. I am sure that Grandad Beck's parents, Eli and Frances, would have been pleased to see their son married in their local church. Eli worked as a gardener for Canon Henry Ravenhill, who was the rector of Holy Rood, Buckland Newton. Canon Ravenhill had baptised Grandad Beck and is likely to have known the whole family well. I am not so sure that family and friends approved of Grandad Beck's choice of bride but from the family photographs, I think the immediate family got on well. I believe the bride and groom were in love and they were to remain happily married for 31 years.

Following complaints from some drivers Anderson CSK, the Dunlop importers, have issued the following press release.
Full details of how returns and exchanges will be handled are not yet decided but Dartford Karting will help in any way we can when the new tyres are available in March.
The Association of British Kart Clubs along with Anderson-CSK and Dunlop wish to apologise for the issues that have transpired on the Formula Cadet wet tyre. Following tests by Dunlop in Japan on the return of a problem set of tyres it would appear that this may have been caused by a new batch of polymer, and perhaps exacerbated by the effect of the cold weather in our winter. The results of the tests have only just become available.
Anderson-CSK have already arranged with Dunlop to immediately manufacture a controlled batch of tyres, with another immediate follow up. Control means with reference back to the batches prior to the problem arising. The first batch will be air-freighted to the UK by the end of February and it is anticipated can be distributed during the first week of March. Dunlop have agreed to exchange all tyres from the problem batch for the new tyres, which will be easily identified by the new barcode marking. Further details on the logistics of this exchange will be given by Anderson-CSK shortly. There will be no cost to the competitor.
Anderson-CSK,Dunlop and the ABkC can only apologise and ask for parents and drivers forbearance. Please be assured that Dunlop is fully committed to resolving the problem as quickly as humanly possible and have assured us that the performance of the wet tyres will be restored to the previous norm. The MSA are being kept informed of developments.
