Interview with Norma White
Norma White was interviewed by Adam Portoghese on April 12, 2012.
Norma White grew up in Reidsville, North Carolina, on a tobacco farm with her mother, father, and sister. Her family employed several African-Americans to work the farm, and Norma grew up in an atmosphere of racial understanding. When integration later came, she needed no time to adjust. She attended Wake Forest University and majored in math. She became a teacher after college, and taught in a number of different locations due to her willingness to follow her husband's changing career path. Her husband, Alan White, played football in Canada after college, but they soon made their way back to the United States to pursue careers in teaching. After several more moves throughout the South, Alan became the athletic director at Elon University, and Norma settled into Burlington teaching at Western Alamance High School. She and Alan had a son, who also ended up going to Wake Forest. He is now married and has a child of his own who is now looking at colleges.
On Career Options
Norma spoke of the career possibilities available to women at the time of her graduation from Wake Forest.
You either became a teacher, a social worker, or you could major in business. There were not many options. So I thought, "I will be a teacher, and I am going to stay here. And I will think about nursing later." I majored in math, and I really had as many hours in science just in case, but I never really thought that I'd have a career. I never really thought I would do that. Because [the way] I grew up, my mother worked in the home, and I just never thought I would do anything. But this was great; I was growing up.
Listen to the audio of Norma's response about her career choices.

Norma described motivation and passion she found in the teaching.
It was good, challenging. But what I realized was that I loved the students and my subject was just the vehicle to get to work with these students. I would have never been able to if I had not had something to teach them. But my passion was the student. I mean it. I taught the subject because I wanted to do a good a job. I took a lot of pride in what I did and I worked very hard. But at the end of the day it was the student that I just loved. And I keep up with them.
Listen to the audio of Norma's response about her experiences teaching.
On Values
Norma placed faith as one of the four central themes of her life.
I guess my whole life has been faith: faith in God. I have a strong faith in God, and involvement in my church. My Bible study too. We go to Franklin Street Methodist Church, but the church is a whirl. No matter who I am meeting with we talk about God.
Listen to the audio excerpt about Norma's faith.
On Humor
From the start it was clear Norma liked to laugh and its value to her daily life.
Humor: You know I have given you four things that I just think in life that just keeps you energized. Finding laughter. Everything is not funny, I know that. But you can get it a way, and [my friend] Jeanne has been a humorist. I see her doing this – finding humor in stressful situations [Laughs], and she can find it. Now there are times in life that everything is not funny, for sure, and that is common sense. But if you just look at things a little differently….
Listen to the audio about humor.
On Tobacco Farming
While at Wake Forest, Norma began to reflect on her family's livelihood in new ways.
Growing up on the tobacco/vegetable farm, I did not like that. I did not like working in tobacco. I did not think that it was morally good. It was a bad thing. I didn't know a lot about ethics, but going to Wake Forest I learned a lot of things [Laughing] that we never talked about. But I knew that was how we made money, and it was a good life.
Listen to the audio of Norma's reflection.

superzooms are good within their limts. Do whether you see a difference will depend on whether your shot was pushing those limits or not.
If you have lots of light but shoot at ISO400 just to see a comparison there won't be much difference in visible noise; but if the light is dim enough that you are compelled to use ISO400 the superzoom shot will either show more noise or lose detail because of NR - and as the light gets worse the difference becomes stronger.
DR: look at this shot (not for its artistic merit) and you see the water and foliage are well exposed; the sky is plain overcast but so what?
The ability to preserve detail in both shadow areas and highlights is what distinguishes modern DSLRs. It isn't important just in this sort of shot - the world is full of high-contrast scenes that beat the DR limits of superzooms.
Incidentally, what you need to compare isn't 100% crops unless both cameras have identical pixel count. What you need is crops that show identical FOV. The FZ200 is 12MP v the K30's 16MP so you'll see different areas at 100%.


Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is used to predict the mixing and transport of a Boric acid solution in the core bypass region of the General Electric (GEH) Economic Simplified Boiling Water Reactor (ESBWR) during an anticipated transient without scram (ATWS) scenario. Transient boundary conditions are synthesized from a set of system code predictions. Full-scale CFD predictions are completed using a representative geometry. Symmetry is used to reduce the domain to 1/8th of the core bypass. Forty-five million finite volume cells are used to define the computational domain inside the core barrel which is made up of the small passages between the fuel channels and an outer peripheral open space. The size of the model posed special challenges in the FLUENT CFD model development and execution. The solution required a large number of iterations with reduced solver under-relaxation factors to ensure stable convergence. Steady-state predictions were completed to quantify the sensitivity of the results to variations in selected boundary conditions. These results show good transport of the Boron into the inner regions of the core bypass with no significant sensitivity of the result to changes in the distribution of flow from the top surface. The results also showed no significant impact to changing the specific gravity of the incoming jets from 1.05 to 1.0. Only a significant change in the leakage rate from the bypass and/or a change in the mass flow rate of injected Boron solution were able to impact the distribution and quantity of the Boron in the core. These results are in line with expectations. The predictions indicate efficient penetration of the Boron into the interior regions of the core bypass during an ATWS.

Folkestone is internationally famous for the 'Channel Tunnel', but also for the cliffs of Gault Clay at Copt Point and in the Warren and East Wear Bay. These rapidly eroding cliffs yield a vast range of ammonites, crabs, echinoids, belemnites, brachiopods, bivalves and much, much more.
The Gault Clay contains a wide range of ammonite species. Some are found in nodules and these are also the best preserved. The echinoid bed is higher up the cliffs and, unfortunately, the fossils from here (along with many of the ammonites from other beds) are very fragile. The Gault Clay is also rich in a wide variety of brachiopods, bivalves and gastropods. Belemnites (Neohibolites minimus) are also commonly found. And if you are very lucky, you can find echinoids, crabs, nautili, crinoids and reptile bones (including pterosaur bone fragments).
The best place to find fossils is along the foreshore at Copt Point. However, this normally requires scouring conditions, usually during winter months. Many of the harder fossils, especially those within nodules, can be collected from the beach. Look in the shingle, in particular where the cliff is at its lowest (towards the eastern end of the exposure) and between the large greensand boulders along the foreshore.
Many fossils can be collected from the scree slopes at the base of the cliff, particularly after persistent heavy rain and extreme high tides. However, during these conditions, it is dangerous to climb the cliffs, but, during dryer times, it is possible to climb the scree scopes to collect from the higher beds. On the other hand, we do not recommend doing this for safety reasons. Families can collect fossils from the low cliff at the Warren/East Wear Bay end, which is much safer. Ammonites and shells are common here amongst the shingle.
The Lower Greensand, which is found at the base of the cliff and makes up the large boulders scattered along the foreshore, also yield fossils. These are very hard and will usually require a large hammer and a chisel to extract.
If all this isn't enough for you, the chalk at the other side of the Warren/East Wear Bay is also full of bivalves, brachiopods and echinoids. It is worth a visit, but is not as productive as other chalk locations.

Asasp-Arros  est une commune française, située dans le département des Pyrénées-Atlantiques en région Nouvelle-Aquitaine.

Géographie

Localisation

La commune d'Asasp-Arros se trouve dans le département des Pyrénées-Atlantiques, en région Nouvelle-Aquitaine.

Elle se situe à  par la route de Pau, préfecture du département, et à  d'Oloron-Sainte-Marie, sous-préfecture.

Les communes les plus proches sont :
Lurbe-Saint-Christau (), Eysus (), Gurmençon (), Issor (), Agnos (), Escot (), Bidos (), Issor ().

Sur le plan historique et culturel, Asasp-Arros fait partie de la province du Béarn, qui fut également un État et qui présente une unité historique et culturelle à laquelle s'oppose une diversité frappante de paysages au relief tourmenté.

Hydrographie
Située dans le bassin versant de l'Adour, la commune est traversée par le gave d'Aspe (qui alimente le gave d'Oloron) et par ses affluents, le gave de Lourdios, les ruisseaux le Barescou, Toupiette, de Labatnère, de Cournalès, l'Arrectou, les arrècs de Bugalas, de Lassalle et des Abérats.
Un autre affluent du gave d'Oloron, le ruisseau la Mielle (qui prend sa source sur la commune) et ses tributaires, le ruisseau de Sarraude et les arrècs de Cazaux et de Termy, coulent également sur le territoire de la commune.

Climat
Le climat qui caractérise la commune est qualifié, en 2010, de « climat des marges montargnardes », selon la typologie des climats de la France qui compte alors huit grands types de climats en métropole. En 2020, la commune ressort du type « climat de montagne » dans la classification établie par Météo-France, qui ne compte désormais, en première approche, que cinq grands types de climats en métropole. Pour ce type de climat, la température décroît rapidement en fonction de l'altitude. On observe une nébulosité minimale en hiver et maximale en été. Les vents et les précipitations varient notablement selon le lieu.

Les paramètres climatiques qui ont permis d'établir la typologie de 2010 comportent six variables pour les températures et huit pour les précipitations, dont les valeurs correspondent à la normale 1971-2000. Les sept principales variables caractérisant la commune sont présentées dans l'encadré ci-après.

Avec le changement climatique, ces variables ont évolué. Une étude réalisée en 2014 par la Direction générale de l'Énergie et du Climat complétée par des études régionales prévoit en effet que la  température moyenne devrait croître et la pluviométrie moyenne baisser, avec toutefois de fortes variations régionales. Ces changements peuvent être constatés sur la station météorologique de Météo-France la plus proche, « Oloron-Ste-Mari », sur la commune d'Oloron-Sainte-Marie, mise en service en 1964 et qui se trouve à  à vol d'oiseau, où la température moyenne annuelle est de  et la hauteur de précipitations de  pour la période 1981-2010.
Sur la station météorologique historique la plus proche, « Pau-Uzein », sur la commune d'Uzein, mise en service en 1921 et à , la température moyenne annuelle évolue de  pour la période 1971-2000, à  pour 1981-2010, puis à  pour 1991-2020.

Patrimoine environnemental
Un domaine boisé important, sillonné de chemins de randonnées, s'étend sur la commune.
Le pic Bellevue, également appelé pic Cambet, culmine à , la soum du Caut à , la soum de Las Osques à  et le pic Pédeher à . Enfin, à la frontière avec Issor, la soum d'Athay se dresse à  et celle de Ségu à .

Urbanisme

Typologie
Asasp-Arros est une commune rurale, car elle fait partie des communes peu ou très peu denses, au sens de la grille communale de densité de l'Insee.

Par ailleurs la commune fait partie de l'aire d'attraction d'Oloron-Sainte-Marie, dont elle est une commune de la couronne. Cette aire, qui regroupe , est catégorisée dans les aires de moins de .

Occupation des sols

L'occupation des sols de la commune, telle qu'elle ressort de la base de données européenne d'occupation biophysique des sols Corine Land Cover (CLC), est marquée par l'importance des forêts et milieux semi-naturels (59,9 % en 2018), une proportion sensiblement équivalente à celle de 1990 (60,8 %). La répartition détaillée en 2018 est la suivante :
forêts (51 %), prairies (20,2 %), terres arables (9,4 %), milieux à végétation arbustive et/ou herbacée (8,9 %), zones agricoles hétérogènes (7,4 %), zones urbanisées (1,1 %), espaces verts artificialisés, non agricoles (1,1 %), mines, décharges et chantiers (1 %).

L'IGN met par ailleurs à disposition un outil en ligne permettant de comparer l'évolution dans le temps de l'occupation des sols de la commune (ou de territoires à des échelles différentes). Plusieurs époques sont accessibles sous forme de cartes ou photos aériennes : la carte de Cassini (), la carte d'état-major (1820-1866) et la période actuelle (1950 à aujourd'hui).

Lieux-dits et hameaux

Voies de communication et transports
Asasp-Arros est desservie par la route nationale 134, entre Pau et le col du Somport et par la route départementale 918, qui mène à Argelès-Gazost.

Risques majeurs
Le territoire de la commune d'Asasp-Arros est vulnérable à différents aléas naturels : météorologiques (tempête, orage, neige, grand froid, canicule ou sécheresse), inondations, feux de forêts, mouvements de terrains et séisme (sismicité moyenne). Un site publié par le BRGM permet d'évaluer simplement et rapidement les risques d'un bien localisé soit par son adresse soit par le numéro de sa parcelle.

Certaines parties du territoire communal sont susceptibles d'être affectées par le risque d'inondation par une crue torrentielle ou à montée rapide de cours d'eau, notamment le gave d'Aspe, le gave de Lourdios et la Mielle. La commune a été reconnue en état de catastrophe naturelle au titre des dommages causés par les inondations et coulées de boue survenues en 1982, 2009 et 2022.

Asasp-Arros est exposée au risque de feu de forêt. En 2020, le premier plan de protection des forêts contre les incendies (PDPFCI) a été adopté pour la période 2020-2030. La réglementation des usages du feu à l'air libre et les obligations légales de débroussaillement dans le département des Pyrénées-Atlantiques font l'objet d'une consultation de public ouverte du 16 septembre au 7 octobre 2022.

Les mouvements de terrains susceptibles de se produire sur la commune sont des mouvements de sols liés à la présence d'argile et des affaissements et effondrements liés aux cavités souterraines (hors mines). Afin de mieux appréhender le risque d'affaissement de terrain, un inventaire national permet de localiser les éventuelles cavités souterraines sur la commune.

Le retrait-gonflement des sols argileux est susceptible d'engendrer des dommages importants aux bâtiments en cas d'alternance de périodes de sécheresse et de pluie. 77,6 % de la superficie communale est en aléa moyen ou fort (59 % au niveau départemental et 48,5 % au niveau national). Depuis le , en application de la loi ELAN, différentes contraintes s'imposent aux vendeurs, maîtres d'ouvrages ou constructeurs de biens situés dans une zone classée en aléa moyen ou fort.

Toponymie
Le toponyme Asasp apparaît sous les formes Asap (1364, fors de Béarn), Azasp (1375, contrats de Luntz), Asasp (vers 1630, d'après Pierre de Marca, Histoire de Béarn) et Asasp sur la carte de Cassini (fin ).

Michel Grosclaude indique qu'Asasp est apparenté au basque as/aitz (« pointe rocheuse ») et aspi (« derrière »), soit « sous la pointe rocheuse ».

Le toponyme Arros est mentionné dès le  (titres de Gabas) ainsi qu'en
1220 (for d'Oloron, sur copie de 1551), 1249 (sentence sur le Josbaig, vidimus de 1464), 1367 (cartulaire d'Oloron), 1380 (archives départementales des Pyrénées-Atlantiques) et sur la carte de Cassini (fin ).

D'après Michel Grosclaude, Arros provient du radical basque (h)arr (« pierre ») ou d'un ancien propriétaire Arro, augmenté dans les deux cas du suffixe aquitain -ossum, soit donc « lieu de pierre » ou « domaine d'Arro ».

À partir de 1956, et jusqu'en 1971, date de sa fusion avec Asasp, Arros s'est appelée Arros-d'Oloron, pour se différencier d'Arros-de-Nay.

Since the age of 4, Adora Svitak has been exploring what she can do with the written word: everything from championing literacy, the voices of the youth and education reform, to guest blogging for Mashable and the Huffington Post. Hoping to instill her love of learning in other children, she taught her first class at a local elementary school the year her first book, Flying Fingers, debuted; since then, she has spoken at hundreds of schools, classrooms and conferences around the world. She co-authored her second book, Dancing Fingers—a collection of poetry—with her older sister Adrianna in 2009.
At 12, she delivered the speech "What Adults Can Learn from Kids" at the prestigious TED conference. That video received over one million views and has been translated into more than 40 languages. Now 14, Adora's list of accomplishments has broadened. She joined the ranks of President Bill Clinton and Sesame Workshop last year when she received one of public education's highest honors, the NEA Foundation Award for Outstanding Service to Public Education. Adora is a staunch advocate for innovation in education—her latest project is bringing student voices to the international education discussion through "The Student Union" Facebook group and Twitter hashtag.
Where did the idea to start writing come from?
From my brain! Well, in all seriousness: I had the idea to write my first book, Flying Fingers when I was 7 because I really wanted to see my stories get out there to a wider audience. In particular, there wasn't much in the way of fiction for kids written by kids at the time. I think it helped that I had a naive lack of understanding about how hard it is to get published; as I talked about in my TED speech, naivete can actually be a good thing when it makes you think the seemingly impossible is possible. My TED speech was the launch of my "idea worth spreading"–what adults can learn from kids–on a global scale. My idea was heavily inspired by the TED 2010 theme of "What The World Needs Now." I was originally thinking of something like "what kids need now," but I decided that something more useful for the mainly adult audience would be why kids and our ideas are important and have value to them. Talking it over with Chris Anderson, the curator of TED, was immensely helpful, and voila! the idea was born.
I once posted on Facebook that I lead a Hannah Montana life–teaching by morning, in school by noon, speaking by night. That isn't quite accurate chronologically, but it's pretty close. I often teach a language arts class via video conferencing in the morning, then walk to school, come home and work on my online classes, write speeches and blogs, start initial planning for the conference coming up later in the year (TEDxRedmond), do homework, eat dinner and watch a bit of TV…it's usually a pretty packed day.
Some people bring their ideas to life on a canvas or with a blueprint, an instrument or a test tube; my tools of the trade are the pen and the microphone. When I get an idea, it's usually in the form of a poem, a story, a blog post or a speech–so it's pretty easy to bring an idea to life. However, I'm also never content with just speaking my mind; I want to see action as well, so I start conferences and write emails to raise awareness for causes I believe in.
I'm super excited by the trend of open education resources (OERs), as seen with MIT's OpenCourseWare and other programs. Right now, it's mainly certain lectures offered for free from universities, but I look forward to the day when we have an international network of schools–elementary, middle, and high school–all streaming their courses for free around the world. On that same note, I'm super interested in the flipped classroom model (look it up–it's really intriguing and I think it has some positive implications for education).
I haven't had that many jobs in my life, but one of the worst would probably be cat-sitting for my aunt and uncle. Cats' natural lovability notwithstanding, cleaning a litter box is never ever enjoyable. From this, I learned that: 1) people who do sewage/garbage/waste-related jobs really need the respect of humanity and serious pay raises and 2) if you try to take shortcuts and not do a thorough job, as I did with the cat litter, you will be found out; in the words of my uncle: "there's moldy cat pee here. Someone didn't scoop very thoroughly." To summarize: always scoop the cat pee.
Looking back, I think that I wouldn't change a whole lot because I don't know where I would be today if I changed little things along the way. Even our struggles and challenges make us who we are, so I'm glad for (okay, maybe not quite glad) every hair-tearing midnight speech-writing session when I decided to procrastinate way too much.
I always look at things from an ethical standpoint. Too often I think we forget about the importance of ethics in how we deal with others and the way we go about doing business. When you have an important decision to make, is the first question you ask, "is this right?" or is it "how much money will we make?" "How many people will see this?" "How much time will I spend?" We seem to take for granted that people automatically do the right thing, but it's not something we can get complacent about; we have to continually question the decisions we make in terms of ethics in order to avoid some of the pitfalls of letting money or power obscure our knowledge of right and wrong.
I don't really run a traditional business–I write books, articles and blogs, give speeches, teach and advocate for causes. I guess one idea I've picked up that I think many people could benefit from is that no "customer" is more or less "valuable" or "important" than another. They may not be my "customers" exactly, but I spend as much time writing an email to a fourth grader asking for writing advice as I do replying to a CEO. When people see that you respect them equally as people, not because of wealth or status or the size of their contract with you, they see how genuine you are.
Oh alright: I once took a really surreptitious camera phone picture of Lois Lowry, the author, when she was sitting across from me at a Wisconsin reading association event. I was pretty starstruck.
Urban Dictionary: this is a must-have for anyone who is a teenager or needs fast definitions for things you hear from teenagers (really anyone under a certain age). It includes definitions for such essential vocabulary as ROFLMAO, trollface, oh snap, etc. I love that if I fail to interpret something I hear/see on my Facebook news feed, I can just look it up.
Facebook: I know, I know, it's cliche, but where else can you find everything from news articles about serious topics to quizzes asking, "are you a cookie?" The variety is lovely.
Tumblr: I'm just starting to explore it, but all the different functionalities are pretty awesome. I love that you can crowdsource with "Ask anything" and "Submit." Plus, I'm a huge themes junkie so browsing all the different options in the theme garden makes me very happy.
I have a vested interest in saying mine, but I'll go with my heart and say The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. Why should intelligent adults be reading a young adult fiction novel about a dystopian future where children are entered into televised games to fight to the death (sucky summary, by the way)? Because it's an interesting book and it'll put you in touch with my generation and what we're all talking about. Plus, there's a movie coming out and you should really read the book beforehand instead of getting your impression of the series from celebrity news magazines superficially gushing about the movie. You can tell I'm really into it.
Quite honestly, I don't listen to that much music, but when I do, it's usually an odd mishmash of my dad's, my sister's and my own tastes, so: the Beatles, the Who, Judy Collins, Lady Gaga (sister is a fan), Adele, Coldplay, Natalie Merchant and Jake Shimabukoro.
If you weren't working on writing and supporting causes, what would you be doing?
If I weren't working on writing and causes, I'd be reading, eating, playing board games, watching TV/movies, biking, hiking, hanging out with friends, shopping or traveling.
@WFP The World Food Programme is technically not a person, but as the United Nations' food aid organization, it has some of the most educational and interesting tweets out there.
@AmbassadorRice: I know this is running sort of a UN theme, but see above for why–informative and interesting. Plus, I really think our ambassador to the UN deserves more followers than Lady Gaga (sorry, Little Monsters).
@JohnSvita: okay, okay, it's a little nepotism because he's my dad, but: 1) he's not an every-five-seconds tweeter (translation: almost never) so you don't have to worry about tweets clogging up your feed, 2) he has a Ph.D. That should really count for something, and 3) he tweets about a wide variety of topics from education to coffee, so there's something for everyone!
This evening watching the comedic mockumentary series Parks and Recreation on NBC. I love that show. The last time I laughed really, really (embarrassingly) loudly was in my AP Art History class when a classmates presented on Dutch painter Hieronymous Bosch's epic triptych "Garden of Earthly Delights," accompanied by some commentary from another classmate. The innuendos in that painting…let's just say, awkward fruit symbolism + high schoolers = absolutely uncontrollable laughter.
If I have to pick just one, Eleanor Roosevelt, because she was definitely an incredibly pioneering woman and first lady. Her work to help others, using her privilege for the sake of all, is admirable and inspiring. One of my first favorite nonfiction books was a biography of her, actually; I think that seeing how many struggles she had in her own life, from childhood onward, showed me that your challenges make you stronger.
I couldn't program robots for my life, while on the other hand, writing is almost like breathing for me. I travel, speak, write, teach and advocate because I believe strongly in making the most of my ability and privilege no matter how old I am. Why limit myself by my birth date? The message I have for adults, wondering if they should tell their kids "wait until you're older" when they want to pursue daring projects, would be: "letting kids be kids" means letting us be everything we can be.

Hector Munro, 17th Baron of Foulis (died 1603), also known as the master of Foulis, was a Scottish chief of the Highland, Scottish clan, Clan Munro. He is the 10th chief of Clan Munro who can be proved by contemporary evidence. He was seated at Foulis Castle.

Early life in the church

Hector Munro, 17th Baron was the second son of Robert Mor Munro, 15th Baron of Foulis. Hector Munro became his father's heir after his elder brother Robert Munro, 16th Baron died in 1589 just eight months after their father, the 15th Baron.

In 1590, Hector Munro was served heir male of entail to his father in certain lands. This included the ten "Davochs" of Easter Fowlis (Foulis) as well as Wester Fowlis. He was also served heir to his father and brother for the "barony" of Fowlis at Inverness on 7 October 1590. He was also granted several other lands and salmon fishings in the Earldoms of Ross and Sutherland as well as in the Sheriffdom of Inverness.

Hector being originally a younger son of his father naturally studied for the church. His first preferment was the Chaplainry of Newmore which he was presented to by Mary, Queen of Scots in 1560. Hector's father Robert Mor Munro was a great supporter of Queen Mary.

In 1583, Hector Munro was appointed to the Chaplainry of Obsdale as is confirmed by a grant from James VI of Scotland. In the same year king James VI also granted to Hector Munro the Deanery of Ross, even though it was opposed by Alexander Urquhart, the former dean who had been deposed.

However upon the death of his older brother, Robert Munro, 16th Baron, Hector Munro resigned all of his ecclesiastical offices. Hector Munro then succeeded as chief of the Clan Munro.

In 1589, Hector Munro was served heir to his father of the lands of Inveran, with mill and salmon fishings, Linsetroy, Linsetmore, Altesbeg, Altesmor and Achness, with the salmon fishings. He was also given superiority of Creichmor and the fishings of the Oykel at the extent of £10. He was also served heir to his father to the lands of Contullich. Also in 1589, Hector Munro disponed the lands of Dann to his half brother John Munro.

Witchcraft

Hector Munro, 17th Baron was born from his father's first marriage to Margaret Ogilvie. Upon the death of his first wife, Hector's father married secondly Katherine Ross, with whom he also had many children. Katherine Ross, who was Hector Munro's step mother was by many of her contemporaries believed to be a murderess, a poisoner and an employer of witches and sorcerers. She is said to have introduced her step son Hector Munro, 17th Baron to sinister practices. Shortly after her husband Robert Munro, 15th Baron's death in 1588, both she and Hector Munro stood separate trials for witchcraft and attempting to murder. Two local juries acquitted both of them on all of the charges, in apparent disregard for the evidence. The crimes with which Lady Munro of Foulis was charged were said to have been committed in the years 1576–7. The witches and warlocks were caught, tried and burned at the stake. One of the witches who was repeatedly mentioned at the trial, but who seems to have evaded capture had the unusual name of Marjorie (or Marionne) "Neyne McAllester alias Laskie Loucart".

Later life

On 9 March 1593 there is a commission, among others to Hector Munro, 17th Baron of Foulis, to apprehend George Gordon, 6th Earl of Huntly (later 1st Marquess), William Douglas, 10th Earl of Angus, Francis Hay, 9th Earl of Erroll, Sir Patrick Gordon of Auchindown, Sir James Chisholme of Dunborne, Mr James Gordon, Mr William Ogilvie and Mr Robert Abercromby for trafficking Paptists, "treasonable practices against the true religion of the realm". Hector Munro was also to apprehend the persons responsible for the burning of Donibristle and the murder of James Stewart, 2nd Earl of Moray.

On 12 April 1595, a bond is signed at the Chanonry of Ross between Hector Munro of Foulis, Lachlan Mackintosh of Dunchton, John Grant of Freuchy and William Innes of Carossie.

Hector Munro, 17th Baron of Foulis was in great favour with king James VI of Scotland as in a letter from the king he writes of his "", in which the King takes notice of his loyalty and faithful service, and particularly recommends him to keep his men in good order, with several other affairs tending to the good and peace of the country.

The Battle of Logiebride took place on 4 February 1597, during Hector Munro's chieftaincy of the Clan Munro. It was fought between the Bains and Munros against the MacLeods and Mackenzies. However although it involved some clansmen of the Clan Munro, Hector Munro himself was not involved in the fight.

By an Act of the Privy Council of Scotland, dated 31 January 1602, Hector Munro of Foulis is ordered at the same time as the other principal Highland chiefs, to hold a general muster and "wapinshaw" of his followers on the 10th of March in that year, and to enroll the names of all the persons mustered, with the form and manner of their arms, and report the same to the King on an early date thereafter. Hector Munro is also ordered to levy and supply a hundred men to go to the assistance of Queen Elizabeth I of England in repressing the rebellion of her Irish subjects, the rebellion then being at its height.

Family
Hector Munro, 17th Baron of Foulis married firstly the Hon. Anne, or Agnes Fraser who was the daughter of Hugh Fraser, 5th Lord Lovat, chief of Clan Fraser of Lovat. They had the following children:

Robert Munro, 18th Baron of Foulis (known as the Black Baron).
Sir Hector Munro, 1st Baronet of Foulis (who succeeded his older brother).
Margaret Munro (who married Alexander Mackenzie, 4th of Davochmaluag).

Hector Munro married secondly a distant relation, Janet Munro, daughter of Andrew Munro, 5th of Milntown, but without issue. Hector Munro died on 14 November 1603 and was buried with his father and elder brother at Kiltearn. He was succeeded by his eldest son.

The Minnesota Vikings played their most complete football game of the year Week 11 vs. the Seattle Seahawks. The game featured 4 different receivers catching touchdowns, a solid two headed running attack, and a defense that didn't allow the Seahawks any breathing room.
Although the Vikings did not score any points in the first quarter I would like to credit the Seahawks defense for a job well done on the Vikings potent offense. Mix in some Viking penalties and you have your answer for the scoreless first quarter. When it came to the second quarter the Seahawks weak defense could not hold on anymore by allowing the Vikings to march down the field and score on a drive that started on their own 16 yard line.
The Vikings poured on the points with Favre's precision passing hitting all his different dangerous down field weapons. Couple that with a punishing running attack that did not only come from Adrian Peterson, but also Chester Taylor. The Vikings did not let an inferior football team hang around long enough to even sniff a victory. Many times against weaker teams the Vikings have played with their prey before finishing them off; but that was not the case against the Seahawks.
The Vikings got on the board and never looked back. Forget the first quarter hiccup. Minnesota put the pedal to the metal and played like the best team in the NFL should. That's right, I said it. The Minnesota Vikings are the most COMPLETE team in the NFL and that makes them the BEST team in the NFL. The Vikings score the ball anyway they want on offense, have a dangerous special teams unit, and have a defense that stacks up with the best in the league. No other team in the NFL can get it done in every category like the Vikings can.
#1 The most important thing from this football game was Brett Favre playing like a god. He threw for 213 passing yards by going 22/25. That is the highest completion percentage of his career and the highest in Vikings history. Oh yea, he also threw 4 touchdown passes. It is truly difficult to imagine Favre after all the accomplishments in his career and being virtually the possessor of every single quarterback record in the NFL still breaking records as a 40 year old. Believe it or not Favre actually has better numbers through Week 11 this year than he did through Week 11 when he won all three of his MVP Awards. Higher completion percentage, more touchdowns, less interceptions...as a 40 year old.
Favre is definitely in the running for a 4th MVP Award with how he stacks up to the leagues best passers this year. Even though a player besides a quarterback can win it, a quarterback probably will win it this year. Unless Chris Johnson stays on his pace and the Titans rally off 10 straight wins after starting 0-6. Favre has more than 600 fewer passing yards than Peyton Manning and Tom Brady who are atop that coveted passing yards list. But you have to expect Manning to get all those passing yards considering Indianapolis rushes for the second fewest yards per game in the NFL averaging a mere 85 yards. Favre has one less touchdown than the leagues leaders (Brees, Rodgers) with 21 total. He has a 69.7 completion percentage which is only a tenth behind the league leader Peyton Manning.
With Favre being in the top tier of all those passing categories, can you guess where the all time interceptions leader in the NFL stands this season in that very category? NUMBER ONE (minus Shaun Hill who has only attempted 155 passes). Who would have thought gunslinger Favre would have the fewest interceptions in the entire NFL through 11 weeks? Not I. Even precious Peyton and Drew Brees have 9 interceptions this season. When all is said and done, if Favre plays out the season like this his name should be a major player in the MVP discussion.
#2 What a dominating game by the Minnesota defense. The best stat a fan can pull from their performance is holding the Seahawks to only 4 rushing yards the entire game. With this overwhelming performance the Vikings are now 3rd on the defensive rushing list only giving up 85.5 yards a game.
Once Seattle realized they wouldn't be rushing the football (they only had 13 attempts) they went to the air where they still could not find a whole lot of success. Nate Burelson had a nice game, but he only racked up yards. No passing touchdowns from the Seahawks. Seattle was 1-10 on 3rd down conversions which is always important in the NFL. The defense also forced and recovered a fumble and rookie Asher Allen got his first career interception.
A little cause for concern is the two sacks hauled in by Linebacker E.J. Henderson and Safety Husain Abdullah. The Vikings do not blitz too often and that was the only way Hasselback was sacked the entire day. No sacks by the D line. Jared Allen had 3 Quarterback hits, but the team only had 5 total. (2 of those equal sacks) Not the pressure Vikings fans are used to.
#3 It was nice to see Chester Taylor get into the rushing attack with AP. Even though neither back finished with over 100 yards they both were inflicting damage on the Seattle defense with their carries. Especially Taylor who only had 11 carries but netted 73 rushing yards. It was also nice to see AP catching more passes out of the backfield (he grabbed 4). Both backs were productive and that is more than a good sign heading down the stretch of this season.
#4 Can I even stress enough how awesome Sidney Rice is. This past week he just locked his Pro Bowl spot by catching 2 touchdown passes to give him 4 total on the season. That was the only stat he was lacking in receiving, and 4 puts him in the middle of the pack. He is already 4th in the NFL in receiving yards, and is 3rd in the NFL with catches over 40 yards. The only thing Sidney didn't do this week was have 200 receiving yards, but he made up for it with 2 touchdowns. The second touchdown he caught from T-Jack was a fine example of a player making a huge play.
#5 If one thing seems to remain consistent from week to week it is that Visante Shiancoe catches a touchdown pass, and this week was no different. His 7 receiving touchdowns this season are towards the top of the league and second best among Tight Ends (Vernon Davis has 8 touchdowns). Shiancoe was especially valuable in this game catching 8 passes and playing the role of Favre's go to guy in tight situations. Shiancoe works extra hard every week staying after practice catching passes from different angles and speeds. His hard work has payed off.
#6 The Vikings secondary continues to play well in the absence of Antoine Winfield. Despite allowing decent passing numbers from the Seahawks, something has got to give when a team throws it more than two thirds of the time. The secondary is needed to continue playing well even with the addition of Winfield to the unit in coming weeks. Upcoming on the schedule are the dynamite passing attacks of the Bengals and Cardinals. And you can never count out a man like the Panthers Steve Smith who can destroy a defense by himself.
#7 Haters can hate, but you cannot deny Tarvaris Jackson looking good when he stepped in late in the game. Say what you want about the team we were playing, or the score, but the kid stepped in a got it done. His passes looked accurate with some zip on them. He still looked a little indecisive, but I think Favre's influence has helped him go through his reads better. Jackson finished 6/8 with 77 pass yards and a touchdown. That is an average of 9.6 yards per pass. This play is just as efficient as Favre. If you are going to give Favre the credit for playing well against a bad team the same needs to be given to Jackson. I always like to see him have success.
Which teams are pretenders and which teams are contenders?
The red hot Cincinnati Bengals cooled off in Oakland as the Raiders toppled to AFC North Division leaders. The Bengals called a conservative game once they had the lead which ended up burning them in the end. They allowed 10 fourth quarter points while scoring none. Idiot of the Week is the Bengals Andre Caldwell who fumbled the football on a kickoff with :33 second left on the clock in a tie football game. The Raiders used that fumble to kick the game winning field goal.
The Steelers losing to the lowly Chiefs has to be the upset of the week. With how well the Steelers have been playing it is a shocker to see them lose to the 3-7 Chiefs. Not a surprising loss when you consider the Steelers had 3 turnovers and gave up a kickoff return touchdown. This is a perfect example of any team in the NFL having the ability to win no matter the opponent.
The Broncos are pretenders (even though they beat the Giants on Thanksgiving, but anyone can beat the Giants these days). The Broncos didn't even show up for a game of utmost importance against the charging Chargers (pun intended). The Chargers demolished the Broncos 32-3 to take the AFC West Division lead. My biggest question is why even start crappy Chris Simms to destroy any momentum in the game and just start Orton. Once Broncos coach Josh McDaniels realized like the rest of us the Chris Simms is a joke in a NFL jersey he put in Orton who facilitated some offensive success. That isn't the only mistake McDaniels made as a coach this past Sunday. He foolishly tried an onside kick only to be recovered by the Chargers who took that field position and easily scored. The Broncos are not for real. The division is the Chargers and Denver is not near good enough to win the Wild Card.
Very quietly the Jacksonville Jaguars are 6-4. After staring 0-2 it seemed everyone in the NFL counted them out. Now they have rallied off 3 straight victories. Their upcoming schedule will display their true colors as they face off against the Colts again, the Texans, the Patriots, the 49ers, and the Dolphins. That is a tough 5 game stretch. If this team is a force, victories in those games will prove it.
Lastly I want to take my hat off to Vince Young and the Tennessee Titans. After staring 0-6 the Titans needed to shake things up. Enter the talented but doubted Vince Young. Not only has this kid played efficiently to win football games but has played great down the stretch to get his team needed yards for first downs making crucial passes and using his legs to rush the ball. I am sure many NFL fans like me are rooting for a nice comeback for this team. With a back like Chris Johnson on your team you can never count the Titans out.

The Roman Empire officially adopted Christianity in AD 380. During the Early Middle Ages, most of Europe underwent Christianization, a process essentially complete with the Baltic Christianization in the 15th century.
For centuries Christianity has been inextricably linked to European culture, in good and bad ways. It has brought Europe amazing cathedrals, magnificent art, values such human dignity and love, but also the Crusades, the Inquisition, religious wars, and imperialism.
Before the spread of Christianity, Europe was home to a profusion of religious beliefs, most of which are pejoratively referred to as paganism. The word derives from the Latin paganus meaning 'of the countryside,' essentially calling them hicks or bumpkins.
The decline of Christianity is an ongoing trend in West and North Europe. Developed countries with modern, secular educational facilities in the post-World War II era have shifted towards post-Christian, secular, globalized, multicultural and multifaith societies.

In the late 6th century, a man was sent from Rome to England to bring Christianity to the Anglo-Saxons. He would ultimately become the first Archbishop of Canterbury, establish one of medieval England's most important abbeys, and kickstart the country's conversion to Christianity.
Beginning in the Middle East, Christianity began its spread north and west into Europe, carried by merchants, missionaries, and soldiers. … As a result, in 313, the Edict of Milan was passed, which guaranteed freedom of religion throughout the Roman Empire, ending the persecution of Christians.
Most of the figures are taken from the CIA Factbook or PEW Research Center Surveys. According to the CIA Factbook and the Pew Research Center, the five countries with the largest number of Catholics are, in decreasing order of Catholic population, Brazil, Mexico, the Philippines, the United States, and Italy.
The largest religion in Europe is Christianity, but irreligion and practical secularisation are strong.
According to sociologists Ariela Keysar and Juhem Navarro-Rivera's review of numerous global studies on atheism, there are 450 to 500 million positive atheists and agnostics worldwide (7% of the world's population), with China having the most atheists in the world (200 million convinced atheists).

BP Oil Poisons the Gulf of Mexico's Food Chain
Story by Dahr Jamail, Photography by Erika Blumenfeld, Inter Press Service | Report
Photo by Erika Blumenfeld © 2010
NEW ORLEANS – Environmental experts warn that the eco-systems and food chain in the Gulf of Mexico and surrounding region already deeply harmed and toxified by the ongoing British Petroleum (BP) oil disaster likely face much greater damage.
"You know how the pelicans die of oil," Dean Wilson, the Executive Director of Atchafalaya Basinkeeper asked IPS, "They open their wings, thinking they are drying them in the sun, and they just cook in the sun. Thousands of birds are dying like that because of the greed of a foreign company."
The organization Wilson heads is dedicated to preserving the ecosystems of the Atchafalaya Basin on the Louisiana Coast. He is incensed at the catastrophic impact the BP oil disaster, which has been ongoing for nearly three months, is having on the Gulf region.
Wilson is equally angry about what he perceives as a lack of willingness on the part of BP to implement measures necessary to adequately protect wildlife, including BP not rescuing the chicks of oiled adult birds, as well as not allowing local environmentalists, like himself, to go out and participate in animal rescue efforts.
"BP is not rescuing chicks," Wilson added, "You have to realize that it takes two parents to raise the chicks in these areas. If one of the parents gets into the oil, one parent alone cannot raise the chicks, and the chicks are going to die."
According to Wilson, there are at least as many chicks who have died as rescued pelicans, and the number of pelicans thus far rescued is "only the tip of the iceberg."
"You can imagine the thousands and thousands of chicks that are starving to death out there, and they [BP] refuse to rescue the chicks," Wilson added, "We've been complaining about this."
According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, as of July 14, 553 miles of Gulf Coast shoreline is currently oiled, 2,930 birds have been recovered (1,828 of them dead and 1,102 of them oiled), along with more than 500 dead sea turtles and other mammals.
More than 45,000 personnel are currently responding to the BP oil disaster, but higher-end estimates show that as much as 8.4 million barrels of BP oil has been released into the Gulf (more than 32 Exxon Valdez' worth), and more than 1.79 million gallons of chemical dispersant has been used which concerns scientists and environmentalists because it masks most of the oil that has gushed into the Gulf.
BP continues to use Corexit 9500 and Corexit 9527 dispersants, which are banned in the U.K.
Health impacts of these include headaches; nausea; vomiting; diarrhea; irritation of eyes, nose, throat and lungs; difficulty breathing; respiratory system damage; central nervous system depression; neurotoxic effects; genetic damage and mutations; cardiac arrhythmia and cardiovascular damage; among many others.
Paul Orr is an officer with Lower Mississippi Riverkeeper, a group focused on keeping the lower Mississippi River pollution-free.
"This is the second most important delta in the Western Hemisphere and one of the most important deltas on the planet," Orr told IPS, "And we just have no idea what this amount of oil in this close of proximity to the delta could do. The decision was made to use the dispersants intensively to sink the oil – the rationale to minimize shore impacts at all cost. But now it seems like the real reason they've been doing that is to get the oil to disappear because if it was staying on the surface, at least you could collect it, even if it starts impacting the shore in some way. But now we have an unknown millions of barrels of oil floating around in the water column and sticking to the sea floor. We may not ever know some of the long-term damages."
Orr, like many Gulf region environmentalists and scientists, is critical of BP's lack of adequate efforts towards helping oiled wildlife.
Of their efforts to wash oiled birds and return them to the wild, of which only a relatively small number have been treated, Orr said, "They have to look like they're doing something."
He is concerned about all the Gulf species, but in particular the already endangered species in the Gulf that include the Kemp's Ridley and Leatherback sea turtles, the Sperm Whale, and birds such as the Piping Plover and Gulf Sturgeon.
Jonathan Henderson is the Coastal Resiliency Organizer for The Gulf Restoration Network, a multi-state group committed to "uniting and empowering people to protect and restore the natural resources of the Gulf Region for future generations."
"There is at least 75,000 square miles of the Gulf covered in oil as we speak," Henderson told IPS.
Harriet Perry, the director of the University of Southern Mississippi Gulf Coast Research Laboratory recently announced that oil droplets have been found beneath the shells of tiny post-larval blue crabs drifting into Mississippi coastal marshes from offshore waters.
Larval crabs are eaten by many kinds of fish and shore birds.
This is among many other examples of how the oil has already made its way into the food chain.
Henderson told IPS that oil-soaked birds are being eaten by coyotes, who are then later eaten by alligators further inland.
Wilson expressed concern for microorganisms that are feeding on the oil, particularly in the deeper regions in the Gulf where BP has sunk the oil via heavy use of dispersants.
"We're very concerned about the deep water," Wilson told IPS, "I'm very concerned about the whales and whale sharks. There is a big population of them that migrate right where the oil is. We've already seen that the shark won't avoid the oil. It will go right though the oil. We've seen schools of hundreds of whale sharks migrating through the Gulf of Mexico. They open their mouths and filter plankton-so they will do that and swim right through the oil, it will contaminate their gills, and they will suffocate."
"We can't play around with BP's toxic science experiment and sit around and wait for the outcome in the Gulf," Henderson added, "Even if they capped this thing today, we still have our work cut out for us, and I have a feeling this isn't going to be the last of these kinds of well blowouts."

All the recent brouhaha over Tibet brought to mind a trip I made way back in time, which took me to a place about 6 to 7 kilometers from the Tibetan (and therefore the Chinese) border with India. I was about 21 or 22 years old and had the onerous job as a trainee accountant of a 'site visit' to check accounts of a construction company building a dam across the Bhaba river in Kinnaur. (I got to really traverse our land as a trainee accountant – I would have of course preferred to do it as a trainee commando, but what the hell..).
So I got to base camp after running the gauntlet inside a Maruti Gypsy driven by the original mad driver across the thinnest of strips of mountain paths, euphemistically called a State Highway. The head of the Site was this middle aged engineer ('general manager') who had forsaken the comforts of routine family life for a nomadic existence in various project sites across the country. Later I found that these guys are dotted across the world in all project sites – an interesting sub-genus that thrives on the camaraderie, chaos and an extraordinary satisfaction of Creating you can sense in all 'sites'.
I was there in summer and the weather was lovely – about 5 degrees, if I recollect right. Have you ever dipped your hand in the rushing, upstream water of a Himalayan river? Well, these guys dipped their beer bottles in the water for about 10 minutes and took out the coldest beer I have ever had (and that includes the beer I had while in a North Sea storm). Many egg bhurjis and beers down, I heard about the rigours of winter living in Kinnaur – how all the cabins would be snowed in every night and how the inhabitants had to light a fire inside the cabin to melt the snow outside to be able to push open the door. It was a man-thing that evening; a camaraderie so palpable you could cut it with a knife.
Next morning we set out for the 'ice bridge', a walk of about 3 hours across some of the most beautiful terrain I have ever wandered over. Slopes covered with green, soft grass. The occasional sight of small mountain ponies. A few houses in little villages far above or below. The ice bridge was a place where the snow from one mountainside had drifted down and passed over the river in between and had actually climbed up the mountain on the other side. So, you could walk down one mountain on the ice, walk across the river (you could hear the muted thunder of the water beneath the ice and far beneath your feet) and walk up the other mountain. And standing on the ice-bridge, I kid you not here, I actually heard the far away sound of a shepherd's flute.
As I watched the Dalai Lama talk to Pranoy Roy last evening, I was reminded of my trip to the wonderful land of Kinnaur, Tibet's closest neighbour in India.
Over the last few months, we have been trying to figure out a good way to present info that allows travellers to plan a visit to each Indian state. The problem is how do you plan a visit to a 'multi-terrain' state like Himachal (where all do you go, what do you look for etc) or a state like Kerala where there are very distinct aspects (backwaters, ayurveda, beaches..). Looks like we have cracked it. The new 'Experience' section that HolidayIQ has introduced for each state should help.
I am particularly smitten by the Experience Himachal Pradesh section, which the folks at HIQ Edit have decided to break-up into Hill-station experience, Trekking, Skiing, Buddhist Gompas in Lahaul Spiti, Camping & Wildlife. The 'real-life' intros are a nice touch. Check it out.
To find Experiences for any Indian state, select any state from here and then click on the 'Experiences' tab on top of the state page that loads up.
The Economic Times this morning carried a story on 2 new ski-villages being planned in Kashmir. These are in addition to the 2 already under implementation in Himachal Pradesh.
India is definitely one of the hottest countries on earth. So the idea of India having ski-slopes to rival the Alps seems kind 0f strange. Strange, but soon to become true.
It seems climate change is melting the ski slopes in the Alps and for aficionados, the only option soon to be left is the Himalayas.
Pakistan seems to be jumping into the act too – check out this video.

Home / Rejuvenate & Restore.
Recovery plays an important role in our day to day lives, possibly when we don't even realise it. That hot chocolate after a day at work, or walking the dog, or simply sleeping. Many external influences, can be stressors and in turn cause reactions in the body. A tough day at work could cause hormone changes and tension, a tough workout and suddenly your muscles are sore.


The European Commission will co-finance the repair processes in Medvode and Vodice as well. The total work budget is 135 million euros.
The Drainage and Treatment of Wastewater in the Aquifer Area of Ljubljana Field project involves modernization of the Central Water Treatment Plant (CČN) of Ljubljana with a triple purification system. Instead of the current 360 thousand people, it will serve 555 thousand citizens.
It is also planned to shut down the existing overburdened treatment facilities in Brod, Pirniče, Rakova Jelša, Vodice and Polje.
Almost 22 thousand inhabitants will be connected to the system of public drainage and sewage treatment. In the course of large-scale construction works, 131 km of sanitary canals, 3 vacuum stations, 16 pumping stations and a collection reservoir will be built.
The project is implemented jointly with the Ministry of Ecology and Environmental Protection.
From the financial point of view, it is one of the largest projects within the European cohesion policy for 2014–2020. The total budget of the whole project is 135 million euros. The Cohesion Fund will allocate slightly less than 69 million euros for this project. Another 12 million euros will come from the state budget. The municipalities of Ljubljana, Medvode and Vodice will finance the remaining amount.

Don't assume I'm not adventurous because I'm a woman
Photo: RawPixel
Atlas & Boots
Despite what some may think, I don't do adventurous things just because my boyfriend likes them.
Last week, Peter and I were talking to an acquaintance (let's call him Jack) about our possible trip to Australia next year. Over a shared pizza, Peter mentioned that he would love to dive with sharks in Perth.
Jack threw me a look and laughed. "Ha, I don't suppose you'll be joining him for that."
I nodded. "Yes, as long as the sharks are treated responsibly."
"'Responsibly?'" He nudged Peter. "It sounds like she's trying to get out of it, mate."
I bristled but smiled politely as Brits so often do. There was no point in trying to convince Jack that I enjoyed adventure just as much as Peter. It's true that I don't like being cold on mountains, but I'm the one who booked our skydive.
I'm the one who jumped off a ledge in Samoa when Peter was sceptical about the jutting rock beneath the lip.
I've trekked active volcanoes and dived with sharks and crossed landslides and ziplined canyons — but pointing all this out would have felt petty and trivial (as it does now).
The reason Jack's assumption grated so much is because I see this sort of dismissiveness all the time. When Peter and I do something thrilling or scary, I'm regarded as the long-suffering girlfriend who went along on a crazy caper to prove that we have shared interests.
In the grand scheme of sexism, Jack and his ilk are relatively harmless, but their behaviour is still worth addressing. The knowing looks and patronising winks suggest that I'm a 'Cool Girl' as described so cuttingly in Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl.
The Cool Girls are even more pathetic: They're not even pretending to be the woman they want to be, they're pretending to be the woman a man wants them to be. Oh, and if you're not a Cool Girl, I beg you not to believe that your man doesn't want the Cool Girl. It may be a slightly different version – maybe he's a vegetarian, so Cool Girl loves seitan and is great with dogs; or maybe he's a hipster artist, so Cool Girl is a tattooed, bespectacled nerd who loves comics. There are variations to the window dressing, but believe me, he wants Cool Girl, who is basically the girl who likes every fucking thing he likes and doesn't ever complain.
I don't do scary things because my boyfriend likes to do them. I do them because I like to do them. And when he goes off to climb high mountains or camp in the wild, I'm very bloody clear that he can go and do it by himself.
Jack's light sexism is less important to me than improving diversity in the outdoors and protecting our wilderness, but it's important to highlight it nonetheless because it's not limited to the outdoors.
I can guarantee you that women who like football, ice hockey, or any male-dominated sport receive the same sort of pat-on-the-head "sure you're a real fan" dismissal. A woman who likes Star Trek or World of Warcraft or any number of 'nerdy' pursuits will find herself being told that she's "not like other girls", a loaded compliment if ever there were one.
We live in a society where so many things are needlessly gendered — from butterflies to ballpoint pens. Please, let's not gender adventure, too.

We are a multi-disciplinary group researching ways to understand and relieve Pain.
Chronic Pain is like Dark Matter: we cannot see it, yet it can significantly affect our daily lives. About 1 in 6 British people have significant chronic pain, and almost everyone has someone with chronic pain in their family. Unfortunately, our pain treatments are very often not good enough. We need to conduct research to find better treatments.
