From the Northwest Passage and Franz Josef Land to the Galapagos Islands and Machu Picchu: Hurtigruten releases the most diverse selection of expedition voyages in the company's 125-year history.
December 5, 2017 - With three ships in Antarctica and five ships calling in Svalbard in the 2019/2020 season, Hurtigruten is strengthening its position as the world leader in exploration.
"Honouring our explorer heritage, we are constantly seeking new waters to explore. With our new ships and new itineraries, Hurtigruten is setting a new global standard for exploration travel to the polar edges of the world – and to new frontiers," says CEO Daniel Skjeldam.
Explore the full Northwest Passage, following in the wake of polar explorer legend Roald Amundsen on board the namesake, state-of-the-art hybrid-powered expedition ship.
Break new ground and explore the wild and rare Franz Josef Land in Russia.
Be one of the first to experience the hybrid-powered MS Fridtjof Nansen on voyages from Amsterdam to the Norwegian coast, via Bjørnøya, to Longyearbyen, Svalbard—a sailing inspired by the legendary Sportsman's Route that Hurtigruten founder Richard With established in 1896.
Experience the dramatic and alluring Norwegian coast, including the Lofoten Islands and tiny fishing villages under the Midnight Sun, while aboard the hybrid-powered MS Roald Amundsen (embarking and disembarking in Hamburg, Germany).
"This is expedition sailing at its most authentic. Sailing north of the 80th parallel north means that guests will find themselves closer than 600 nautical miles from the Geographical North Pole. This is the furthest north any Hurtigruten expedition vessel has ever operated," says Skjeldam.
Guests will have access to experienced expedition team members, who will act as hosts on board and ashore, to give lectures on biology, history, geology, as well as accompany travelers on landings and hikes.
Hurtigruten will introduce the MS Fridtjof Nansen and the MS Roald Amundsen to the Norwegian coast in summer 2019.

A Fine Frenzy (a.k.a. singer Alison Sudol) will be performing a couple of shows in Washington state and California in July for the Lilith Fair. From the NewBeats archives, here is a interview with Sudol from 2007.
Alison Sudol of A Fine Frenzy
By David Chiu
"I guess if you went out into the wilderness, fell in love, got lost, got your heart broken and emerged to tell the tale, this album could be your own personal soundtrack."
So said 22-year-old singer/pianist/songwriter Alison Sudol, the driving force behind the collective A Fine Frenzy, about the music on their Virgin Records debut One Cell In the Sea.Her description about her music is fitting because it covers a wide range of emotions—from melancholy to hope to yearning—complemented by distinctive piano playing and Sudol's airy, soulful voice. It has drew enough strong notices for this newcomer to land a record deal; to have her songs played on television; and to perform on stages all over the country.
"It's pretty spectacular," Sudol said in an e-mail interview. "Getting to play for people that have never heard us before and getting a raw reaction. We've been getting such incredible responses from the shows… it's a wonderful feeling."
The songs on One Cell In the Sea, which was released this past July, have a very dreamy quality to them. "I try to collect words, images, stories, etc. on a daily basis," she said of her songwriting, "and when my head starts feeling full I sit down at the piano and try to make sense of things. Writing is my greatest joy, it's a constant friend and sometimes the only thing that will make me feel like I have a place in the world." Continue reading "Feature Archive: A Fine Frenzy"

Wireless Broadband Basics
Author: Jeremy Maddock
Wireless broadband is a general term used for the technology that is able to gain access to the internet wirelessly, and at high bandwidth speeds. Wireless broadband is available on virtually any digital device, so long as it has the proper connectivity hardware. Such hardware can easily be attached to most PDAs and laptop computers.
One of the most popular and well known wireless technology standards is Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity), which allows users to access the internet over a wireless Local Area Network. The speed and range of Wi-Fi, however, is severely limited. There is another wireless connectivity standard, called WiMAX, which is considerably more advanced.
WiMAX is a protocol by which signals are sent to wireless broadband users. A WiMAX base station can theoretically beam a signal as far as 50km (31 miles), meaning that a single station could potentially cover an entire city (unlike Wi-Fi, which is only available in "hotspots").
Although WiMAX are networks are available in several major metropolitan areas in the US, base stations are very expensive to build, and aren't cost effective in less densely populated areas. Because of this limitation, WiMAX technology is not yet available in most non-urban regions.
Although WiMAX has been a major technological achievement, wireless broadband certainly doesn't stop there. There are a number of other cutting edge wireless protocols currently in development. The most notable of these is a new protocol called xMax, which is similar to WiMAX, but a lot more efficient. It can cover a broader range at a lower cost, by piggybacking on radio frequencies. Although xMax is not yet available to the public, it will most likely be launched within the next couple of years.

The Petroglyphs of Comb Ridge
A 120-Mile Long Monocline Pockmarked with History
Written by Matcha
Jo Savage Photography
A 120-Mile Long Monocline Pockmarked with History.
The trail heads west from Butler Wash up a faint boot-scuffed path across bare sandstone slabs, twisting past spare rock gardens dotted with juniper trees, yucca and scrubby grass. I hike into a cliff shadow in a narrow canyon, the morning air still cool and a faint breeze rattling dry leaves. Beyond the canyon, a stone cathedral towers over the land and arching caves tuck into high cliffs. I continue up more slickrock slabs to a sunny cliff and the Procession Panel, one of the finest rock art sites on Comb Ridge.
Comb Ridge
The Comb Ridge, a 120-mile-long, north to south-trending monocline or uplifted ridge, defines southeastern Utah's red rock landscape and is the central feature of the Shash Jaa unit of Bears Ears National Monument. Tilted sandstone formations form a rugged escarpment on the west side of the ridge, while the angled east side is a maze of canyons, cliffs and domes with springs, seeps and pools of precious water. The ancient Ancestral Puebloans lived here over 1,000 years ago, building cliff dwellings, granaries for storing seed corn and pecking galleries of exquisite petroglyphs on varnished sandstone walls.
The Procession Panel
The panel depicts three snaking lines of 179 human-like figures, marching in single file and converging on a great circle. The petroglyphs, engraved into the rock surface by ancient artists, also include images of deer, bighorn sheep, elk and geometric shapes. The small human figures appear to be led by a few larger ones carrying hooked staffs and wearing headdresses, perhaps shamans who interacted with the spirit world and its animal helpers
What Do Petroglyphs Mean?
We ask the petroglyphs, found in almost every canyon in Comb Ridge, what they mean and what they meant to the Ancestral Puebloan people that once lived here, but there are no answers. Their meanings were lost long ago, so now we bring our own interpretation to this great outdoor art museum.
That's the beauty of rock art — there is no definitive explanation for it. All we know is that these mystical images at this sacred place allow us to glimpse the mind and thoughts of the Ancient Ones. The petroglyphs reflect their lives, depict their culture and clothing, show clan symbols and migrations, and relate the supernatural journeys their shamans or medicine men made to other worlds. Sitting on a boulder before the Procession Panel, I feel the people that lived here and the holiness of this special place.
How to Get There From Butler Wash
The 30-mile middle section of Comb Ridge, beginning six miles west of Bluff, is one of the best places in southeastern Utah to see rock art created by the Ancient Ones. Over 50 side canyons, carved by flash floods, slice through white Navajo Sandstone on the east side of the ridge and drain into broad Butler Wash.
The graded dirt Butler Wash Road, starting from U.S. 163, heads north up the valley, providing access to many rock art panels and ruins. Trailheads and trails to the better-known petroglyphs are along the road, but the Bureau of Land Management leaves them unmarked to protect the fragile archeological sites from increased visitation and vandalism. Plenty of free primitive campsites scatter alongside the road.
Petroglyph Sites
The Procession Panel (reached by a 1.4-mile cross-country hike) and the nearby Wolfman Panel in Lower Butler Wash are the best-known petroglyph sites at Comb Ridge, but you'll have to work a little to see them. Stop by the BLM offices in Blanding or Monticello for directions and information on how to appropriately visit.
"Comb Ridge is rough desert country with no established trails. Respect the rock art and archeological sites. Petroglyphs are an important part of our human and national heritage and can be fragile."
Many other rock art sites hide in Comb Ridge's canyons, so it's best to lace up your boots, plan ahead, pack carefully and start exploring. Rock art is found near many ruins, including Double Stack Ruin, Monarch Cave Ruins, Split Level Ruins, Fishmouth Cave and Butler Wash Ruins. The easily accessible Sand Island Petroglyph Site, located west of Bluff on the San Juan River, also displays hundreds of petroglyphs. One shows a possible mammoth while others depict Kokopelli, legendary flute player of the Southwest.
Protecting Rock Art
Respect the rock art and archeological sites. Petroglyphs are an important part of our human and national heritage and can be fragile. Follow Leave No Trace principles so future hikers have the same experience and sense of discovery that you do.
The Rock Art Code
Follow these guidelines from the Rock Art Code to protect and preserve these amazing petroglyph panels:
Don't touch rock art. Oil from your hands degrades the rock surface.
Don't disturb rock art sites or nearby ruins. Picking up pieces of pottery or digging in soil disturbs the area and leads to erosion.
Don't make fires near rock art sites.
Don't enhance the petroglyphs with chalk, liquid, or paint.
Don't make rubbings, molds or castings of petroglyphs.
Don't carve, chisel, scratch, engrave, spray paint or write on rock art panels. This not only mars the petroglyphs but is a federal crime.
Don't try to remove or take rock art from cliffs or boulders. It is vandalism and a federal crime, with stiff penalties including fines and imprisonment.
Do enjoy the ancient petroglyphs, take lots of photos, act responsibly and help preserve our prehistoric legacy and heritage.
Trip Planning & Logistics
The rock art sites and ruins are west of Butler Wash Road, which runs along the eastern edge of Comb Ridge from U.S. 163 just west of Bluff to state route 95 west of Blanding. The dirt road is usually smooth and passable to passenger cars, although washes may be bumpy and the road is impassable after snow and rain. Check with the BLM office for current road conditions.
Comb Ridge is rough desert country with no established trails. Only experienced backcountry hikers with good route-finding skills should attempt to find the rock art panels.
Make sure your pack is filled with essential safety gear, including extra clothes, food, water and an emergency shelter.
Comb Ridge is hot during the summer, so bring at least a gallon of water per person per day, and wear a hat and sunscreen for protection.

Essays, Literary Reflections | February 2019
Dead Scientists Society: Experiments in Creativity and Parenting
By Eileen McGinnis
Illustration by Elias Knechel and Meredith Porretta.
The Victorian Naturalist in the Mirror
There's this iconic photograph of Charles Darwin in early middle age, before he published Origin of Species, before he became the "father of evolution," before he aged into a spectacular white beard that telegraphed his venerability. In the image, he is amply mutton-chopped but also clearly balding. Constricted by a tightly wrapped cravat, his expression registers an inscrutable mix of discomfort, surprise, and annoyance. He looks maybe a bit constipated—Darwin suffered throughout his life from gastro-intestinal distress.
It is hardly the face of besotted fatherhood.
Yet, Darwin's biography upends all of our stereotypes about distant, disinterested Victorian patriarchs. In another image that I uncovered from the same time period, he sits with his eldest son William. The shadow of a smile plays across his face.
Darwin doted on William, nicknamed "Hoddy-Doddy," and the nine children that followed. Although squeamish about the act of childbirth itself, he was a demonstrative father who cuddled his babies and gave them baths. Darwin also chronicled the minutiae of his offspring's development in journals that married paternal affection with a naturalist's eye for detail.
What's more, decades later, Darwin would mine these notebooks for evidence of the evolution of facial expressions. He turned his parental obsession into scientific gold. Darwin had opened himself up to an arena dismissed by his contemporaries as domestic, private, female, and hence not worthy of study. What began as an expression of love for—and curiosity about—his children opened up a new field of scientific inquiry: early childhood development.
As I read about the fatherly love of this formidable and long-dead naturalist, the distance between us—temporal, geographical, reputational—melted away. We were just two adoring parents on the metaphorical playground.
But Darwin's story also gave me hope that, on my own humble scale, I, too, might find my way to a synthesis of selves: the creator and the caregiver.
Since my son was born in 2015, I had been struggling to get back to a nonfiction book project I'd begun the year before, about the nineteenth-century computer programmer Ada Lovelace. As a new parent sitting bored and immobilized in a nursing chair for five hours a day, I wondered, Will it always be this way? Are procreation and creative work totally at odds with each other?
Over two years later, when I began potty training my then 28-month-old, these thoughts returned. Once more, my son's bodily needs were holding my writing life hostage.
This time, though, the question—are caregiving and creativity compatible endeavors?—captured my curiosity to the point where I needed to write about it. I started a blog as a space to keep writing about this topic in order to keep thinking about it.
For the past year and a half, I've taken a deep dive (and unexpected detour) into the parenting lives of sundry historical figures. You know that classic ice-breaker question? Who are the x-number of individuals, living or dead, that you would invite to a dinner party? My thought experiment went something like this: who are the scientists and artists, living or dead, that you would want to gossip with at a parenting support group?
Admittedly, summoning the dead has been a strange, roundabout approach to getting my questions answered. But as an introvert and research junkie, I was seduced by the idea of diving into the past, into past lives. I hoped that this cache of role models would sustain me as I journeyed into unexplored terrain, forging a creative identity out of the fragments of my pre-motherhood self. Their historical distance also offered some freedom from comparison and from the judgments that inevitably creep into our interactions with fellow parents, despite our best intentions.
Because I write nonfiction about the history of science, I was drawn as much to the stories of chemists and engineers as to those of writers and visual artists. I started with the premise that creativity is an impulse underlying all human pursuits, and that meaningful lessons would come from casting a wide net.
Here are a few things I've learned along the way.
In Search of a Feminist, Quaker, Materials-Scientist Guru
If Darwin's example suggested the possibility of integrating my parenting and creative lives, Ursula Franklin showed me how to get there.
Franklin's life is a case study in resilience. Born in Germany in 1921 to a Jewish artist and a Protestant ethnographer, Franklin survived the Holocaust in a forced labor camp. After the war, she earned a PhD in experimental physics in Berlin. Eager to leave a country she saw as steeped in militarism, Franklin emigrated to Canada and became a Quaker.
In addition to her accomplished career in physics at the University of Toronto, Franklin was a wide-ranging thinker and lecturer about technology, peace, the environment, and women's studies.
It was in this other context, as a public intellectual, that Franklin revealed herself as my shaman.
In the 1985 lecture "Will Women Change Technology or Will Technology Change Women?," Franklin explores the ways that women's experiences can enrich tech culture—and yes, her ideas are still relevant in 2019.
Although the piece is about a lot more than parenthood, Franklin's analysis seems to draw on her lived experience as a mother of two. She contrasts the values of the tech world—efficiency, productivity, individual achievement—with the importance to parents of what she calls copeability, "the ability to deal and cope adequately with a variety of circumstances" that domestic life might throw our way. She underlines the skills, like "inventiveness, spontaneity, and improvisation," that we cultivate in the largely unplanned work of parenting.
In a 2014 interview, Franklin relates her own inventive responses to a 1950s workplace unequipped for her existence as a working mother. Upon informing her supervisors that she was pregnant, they formed a "bloody committee" (as Franklin colorfully put it) to discuss how to proceed. While the committee dithered, her pregnancy progressed, and her son Martin was born before they reached a decision. Franklin ultimately took it upon herself to figure out maternity leave: half-time in the lab, with her mother watching the baby, and half-time at home, where she could do the calculations and report-writing from a distance.
During the two-and-a-half years before I began exploring Franklin's life and work, I'd been focusing on loss—loss of sleep, loss of autonomy, and, above all, loss of identity. Franklin suddenly reframed the job of mothering as, instead, one that was—and still is—giving me specific, transferable skills.
Franklin had passed away the previous year. Yet, as I sat in bed reading her book in the fall of 2017, she whispered this mantra from beyond the grave:
The flexibility required of you as a caregiver is making you more adaptable in your creative life.
Ecological Entanglements
Ursula Franklin had helped me recognize that the care and feeding of young children can also make us more resourceful as thinkers, writers, and humans.
Still, the myth of the solitary artist loomed. This myth rears its head in various spaces—academia, Silicon Valley, the art world. It is the insidious notion that the artist, the tech entrepreneur, the math genius, must give themselves over, with greedy and absolute devotion, to their work.
But many of the stories I've found suggest that art and science can be made, and made well, by leaning into your caregiving relationships. I'm thinking in particular of Rachel Carson, the marine biologist, environmentalist, and science writer.
I'd stumbled upon Carson on a rare, blissful evening of solitude. My three-year-old was asleep, my husband out of the house, our cat uncharacteristically chill. I had both the time and presence of mind to read The New Yorker!
The essay that captivated me that spring night, and sent me deep down a Rachel Carson rabbit hole, was historian Jill Lepore's "The Right Way to Remember Rachel Carson." I'd known of Carson only superficially, as "the author of Silent Spring" or "the founder of the modern environmental movement." Her activism toward banning pesticides like DDT is an important part of her legacy, but Lepore contextualizes this work within a career motivated in large part by Carson's love of the ocean.
While working for the US Bureau of Fisheries (later the US Fish and Wildlife Service), Carson began authoring books like Under the Sea-Wind and The Sea Around Us, which enticed readers with their combination of scientific rigor and lyrical prose. In 1925, Carson had begun Pennsylvania College for Women as an English major, but she graduated with a biology degree. Decades later, Carson would marvel at how her science writing career had led her to an unexpected synthesis of these two passions: "I had given up writing forever, I thought. It never occurred to me that I was merely getting something to write about."
In addition to juggling her writing and scientific work, Carson took on breadwinning and caregiving responsibilities. She raised her older sister's two kids after they were orphaned, nursed her ailing mother, and adopted her grandnephew Roger.
Carson penned "Help Your Child to Wonder" for the July 1956 issue of Woman's Home Companion. The essay pulls together the seemingly disparate threads of her life and work. Centering the piece on then-four-year-old Roger, Carson recreates the sensory details of their adventures together exploring the Maine coast. She recalls carrying a 20-month-old Roger to the shoreline while an autumn storm raged, to his first "spine-tingling" encounter with the ocean. She describes late-night hunts for ghost crabs on the beach and moon-viewing parties from their picture window.
"Help Your Child to Wonder" is ostensibly a guide to parents daunted by the task of introducing their children to the natural world. Its subtext, though, is our own modern disconnection from nature. As Carson writes, "A child's world is fresh and new and beautiful, full of wonder and excitement. It is our misfortune that for most of us that clear-eyed vision, that true instinct for what is beautiful and awe-inspiring, is dimmed and even lost before we reach adulthood." The article—and Carson's body of writing as a whole—seeks to rekindle in adult readers that sense of awe and interconnectedness.
Carson's biographers have tended to rue how Carson's personal relationships and family obligations allegedly got in the way of her professional output. Lepore argues, instead, that the nurturing roles that competed for Carson's time were also the threads that bound her to the natural world. They reinforced her ecological vision of life as based on kinship, interdependency.
They made her, and the work she produced, whole.
Essie on My Mind
I discovered Essie Robeson in the midst of rejection.
Today, Eslanda "Essie" Cardozo Goode Robeson is best known as the wife of Paul Robeson, the famous singer, actor, and activist. But, as her biographer Barbara Ransby reveals, Robeson was a tour de force in her own right. In fact, Essie's chemistry degree from Columbia University—and her pioneering work as the first African American lab technician at Columbia Presbyterian in New York City—supported Paul through law school and enabled him to embark on a career in entertainment in the 1920s.
Early last summer, rejuvenated by the writing I'd been doing on my blog, I began sending out short pieces of writing for publication.
The usual spate of rejections (or, more often, radio silence) ensued. Then, I read that Robeson was unable to get her interview with Mahatma [expletive] Gandhi published! Surely, the few sketches I had been circulating were not so precious.
By turns a chemist, writer, anthropologist, and activist, Robeson existed in a constant state of becoming. She cultivated less a professional identity than a perspective, one that was increasingly political in nature and global in scope.
Particularly formative was her first trip to Africa in 1936, which she embarked on with her eight-year-old son Paul Jr., nicknamed Pauli. A decade later, she published African Journey, a synthesis of her travels on the continent and a reflection of her growing solidarity with people of color worldwide.
The trip would offer a rare convergence of Robeson's lifelong wanderlust, her growing anthropological interests, and her parenting philosophy. In African Journey, Robeson shares her rationale for taking Pauli along. Having been raised abroad in Europe, in an affluent and predominantly white environment, the six-year-old Pauli had expressed surprise when visiting the set of Paul's movie Sanders of the River, which featured a predominantly African cast. Robeson vowed to change her son's point of view. She reasoned: "If some Africans on a film set open up a new world to the child, a trip to the heart of Africa will be a revelation. He will see millions of other brown and black people, he will see a black world, he will see a black continent."
Robeson's restless, searching spirit spoke to my own sense of inadequacy as a novice writer nearing 40, without a clear or fixed career path. Her example suggested that shifting professions did not have to read as flighty or irresponsible. It could, to the contrary, be approached with a seriousness of purpose and breadth of vision.
My Fantasy Summer Vacation with a Two-Time Nobel Laureate
By summer's end, I had accumulated several months of stories, dozens of role models (and a few cautionary tales) out of history. These figures, mostly women, had enabled me to articulate my frustrations, recommit to the work, and take concrete, if fledgling, steps toward writing again.
But I was still a little lonesome. For nearly a year, I had been dwelling in the company of ghosts.
No less a luminary than Marie Curie, the Polish-French Nobel Prize winner in physics and chemistry, helped to identify the source of my malaise.
Curie is a formidable figure in the history of science. One scholar even coined the term "the Madame Curie Complex" to argue that Curie's vaunted reputation might have had the unintended effect of discouraging women from scientific professions. As the mythology around Curie grew, she became an unattainable ideal.
What inspired me, though, was a moment of vulnerability.
In 1911, scandal plagued Curie, then a widow and single mother. Although her second Nobel had been announced, colleagues discouraged her from traveling to Stockholm to accept the prize, due to outrage in the French press over her affair with the married scientist Paul Langevin. A mob threatened Curie and her two daughters outside of their house in the Paris suburbs. By early 1912, Curie's health had suffered, and she required a kidney operation.
Into this tumultuous situation stepped Curie's friend, the British physicist Hertha Ayrton. She arranged to rent a summer house on the English coast, where Curie and her two daughters could recover incognito. The friends were joined on occasion by Ayrton's grown daughter Barbara, as well as fellow suffragist Evelyn Sharp, who would later pen a biography of Ayrton. They spent an idyllic six weeks in Dorset, discussing math with Curie's older daughter Irène and playing piano with the lively Eve, aged seven.
In December of 1912, Curie reopened her lab notebook for the first time in over a year.
I loved that image of two brilliant, bad-ass scientists supporting each other one long-ago summer, creating, however briefly, a kind of maternal, feminist utopia. I wanted to visit!
Researching their friendship, however, underlined my lack of connection with other writers and parents in my own time and place. It seems that so much of modern parenting is designed to hem us in, to narrow our worlds, precisely at a moment when we most need community and when the young lives we are nurturing should instead be pulling us outward.
I haven't exactly solved this dilemma. But, looking for more professional connections, I recently joined a local science writing group. I've also renewed efforts to strengthen our social network by setting up playdates and dinners with fellow caregivers. I have unabashedly slipped my number to the parents of my son's classmates at school birthday parties, to strangers with strollers whom I've met at the local park or on neighborhood walks.
Because of the many ways that our roles as writers, parents, and citizens depend upon each other, Curie and Ayrton's friendship reminded me of the importance of widening my circle.
Nearly eighteen months ago, I became immersed in this oddball side project on caregivers and creators in history. My son is now almost four. On the surface, nothing has changed about the daily hustle of parenting, teaching, and eking out spare time for writing.
But working on the blog has changed me. I've gained a sense of (relative) calm and a feeling of trans-historical community from observing the sheer diversity of choices, struggles, and workarounds represented in these stories. I've tapped into a tradition of caregivers who raised children with far less social support and less public dialogue about parenting, yet who somehow still did the work.
One final lesson, though, with respect to change itself. It comes, fittingly, from a woman who studied metamorphosis.
The German entomologist and illustrator Maria Sibylla Merian was 52 years old, the mother of two grown daughters, when she made the trip across the Atlantic to Suriname to study insect metamorphosis. In 1699, she uprooted her life in Amsterdam, where she had settled into financial comfort and a measure of renown in the fashionable scientific circles of the city. Embracing risk, Merian sold off her art to finance the trip. She faced the hazards of a perilous two-month sea journey. Seduced by the unknown, and wanting to observe insect species in situ, she made guided excursions into the jungles of the South American country's interior.
The resulting book, based on two years of research in Suriname, was mic-drop worthy. Metamorphosis insectorum Surinamensium brought a uniquely ecological perspective to scientific illustration and to natural history, over 150 years before the word "ecology" was coined.
In Merian's time, the fashion was for cabinets of curiosities, lifeless displays arranged along aesthetic or abstract principles that bore little relation to the natural world. Merian, in contrast, demanded that her scientific drawings of insects consider their context, as well as their development. Unsurprising for a scientist and artist who was constantly reinventing herself, Merian was curious about change over time.
Again and again, I've discovered biographies like Merian's that don't follow the familiar narrative arc of male achievement. Far from slowing down as they age, these women fully come into their own creatively after the business of childrearing is past.
The self-proclaimed "novelist-housewife" Ursula K. Le Guin put it best: "It may not seem so at the time, but . . . babies don't stay babies for very long, whereas writers live for decades."
In other words, there are seasons of life. Don't be in such a damn hurry, I caution myself.
It's not that I'm willing to defer my creative aspirations indefinitely (nor was Le Guin, who authored some of her most influential novels, including The Left Hand of Darkness and The Dispossessed, while raising three children in Portland, Oregon, in the 1960s and '70s). It's just to counsel a measure of patience, self-compassion, and realism about what is possible at this toddling stage of development as a writer and parent.
For now, while I'm fully in the thick of parenting a young child, I'll keep researching these stories out of the past. For solace. For perspective. For wisdom. And, above all, for the thrill of recognition at finding my own mundane daily struggles mirrored in these extraordinary lives.

Natalie Tomlinsays:
Thank you so much for writing this–it is wonderful and I related to it a lot, as a mom of a 3 year old. It's so refreshing to read something that counters the stereotypes and challenges the sense of overwhelm we face as we try to squeeze in writing during nap time (if there is one)! I look forward to reading more of your work.
Eileen McGinnissays:
Natalie, thanks so much for the kind words! And yes, 3 years old has been a fascinating time but also a doozy. I am still mourning the loss of afternoon nap…
Sarah Hrdysays:
I loved this essay which I encountered by chance while procrastinating and just surfing around on the net.. Eileen McGinnis' interests in literature, science, women scientists and women's lives, resonate with my own and I admired the sensibilities she brought to her subjects Looking forward to more as she brings dead but still vibrant women scientists back to life.
A grateful fellow Texan, mother and Distaff-Darwinian

Pat Dunn '12 Bound for Malaysia Through Fulbright ETA
Holly Foster April 4, 2012
Pat Dunn '12, a candidate for May graduation, has been awarded a Fulbright Teaching Assistantship to Malaysia. He is an environmental studies and creative writing major at Hamilton.
Dunn studied abroad with SIT in Tanzania in fall 2010. He is a Hamilton Outing Club and Adirondack Adventure leader, vice president of Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity, and a member of Hamilton Environmental Action Group. He has worked as a writer in Hamilton's Media Relations office for four years.
Dunn has spent the last three summers working as a counselor/environmental educator at Oswegatchie Educational Center in Croghan, N.Y. This summer and fall, he'll be employed as a canoe guide for The Wild Center in Tupper Lake.
Upon his return to the U.S, Dunn hopes to build a career that combines his love of writing with his enthusiasm for environmentalism and outdoor recreation.
The Fulbright ETA Program, an element of the Fulbright U.S. Student Program, places U.S. students as English teaching assistants in schools or universities overseas, thus improving foreign students' English language abilities and knowledge of the United States while increasing their own language skills and knowledge of the host country. ETAs may also pursue individual study/research plans in addition to their teaching responsibilities.
Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, the Fulbright program is the largest U.S. international exchange program offering opportunities for students, scholars, and professionals to undertake international graduate study, advanced research, university teaching, and teaching in elementary and secondary schools worldwide.
Dunn is the son of Claire and Edward Dunn of Marcellus, N.Y.
Pat Dunn is a graduate of Marcellus High School.

Q: My WCHAR* variable prints unicode chars in my C project I made a small linked map for my C project.
And I'm using this map for cache my checks,
I'm putting current file path to map. If the same file path request again, it has to get value from the cache map.
struct StrBoolNode {
    const WCHAR* key;
    BOOL* value;
    struct StrBoolNode* next;
};

struct StrBoolTable {
    struct StrBoolNode* first;
};

BOOL* strBoolTable_get(struct StrBoolTable* table, const WCHAR* key) {
    wprintf(L"TEST strBoolTable_get %s \n", key);

    struct StrBoolNode* node = table->first;
    while (node != NULL) {
        wprintf(L"strBoolTable_get WHILE %s \n", node->key);  <<< prints here broken
        if (wcscmp(key, node->key) == 0) return node->value;
        node = node->next;
    }
    return NULL;
}

void strBoolTable_push(struct StrBoolTable* table, const WCHAR* key, BOOL value) {
    wprintf(L"TEST strBoolTable_push 1 %s \n", key); <<< prints here normal

    struct StrBoolNode* tmp = (StrBoolNode*)malloc(sizeof(struct StrBoolNode));
    tmp->key = cloneKey;
    tmp->value = (BOOL*)malloc(sizeof(BOOL));
    *(tmp->value) = value;
    tmp->next = NULL;

    wprintf(L"TEST strBoolTable_push 2 %s \n", tmp->key);  <<< prints here normal

    if (table->first == NULL) {
        table->first = tmp;
        wprintf(L"TEST strBoolTable_push 3 %s \n", table->first->key);  <<< prints here normal
        return;
    }

    struct StrBoolNode* node = table->first;
    while (node->next != NULL) {
        node = node->next;
    }
    node->next = tmp;
    wprintf(L"TEST strBoolTable_push 4 %s \n", node->next->key);  <<< prints here normal
}

struct StrBoolTable cacheMap = { NULL };

WCHAR szFileName[MAX_PATH];

    HMODULE hModule = NULL;
    GetModuleHandleEx(
        GET_MODULE_HANDLE_EX_FLAG_FROM_ADDRESS,
        (LPCTSTR)retAddr,
        &hModule);
    GetModuleFileNameW(hModule, szFileName, 2048);

    BOOL* cacheVal = strBoolTable_get(&cacheMap, szFileName);
    if (cacheVal != NULL) return *cacheVal;

    wprintf(L"Check => %s \n", szFileName);   <<<< szFileName prints normal

    strBoolTable_push(&cacheMap, szFileName, TRUE);
    return TRUE;

There is no problem when pushing object to this map, but when I iterate and print the key in object, it returns unicode chars. Like this "Ï,♥".
Why does my object's key change to this later?
I marked where printed wrong print with <<<< in the code.

A: What is cloneKey that I see referenced in strBoolTable_push. It's note declared anywhere. How does that code compile?
My psychic powers suggest you are pushing a local array variable:
WCHAR szFileName[MAX_PATH];

Into your collection. But as soon as the function declaring szFileName returns, all bets are off (undefined behavior). The memory space is easily reclaimed and overwritten by anything that happens after the function returns. Your key is getting corrupted in the linked list when this happens.
Make sure you duplicate the string key before persisting it into your collection:
void strBoolTable_push(struct StrBoolTable* table, const WCHAR* key, BOOL value) {

    wprintf(L"TEST strBoolTable_push 1 %s \n", key); <<< prints here normal

    struct StrBoolNode* tmp = (StrBoolNode*)malloc(sizeof(struct StrBoolNode));

    // wcsdup is equivalent to saying: tmp->key = malloc((wcslen(key)+1)*sizeof(WCHAR))); wcscpy(tmp->key, key);

    tmp->key = _wcsdup(key);

Likewise, when you take a node out of list, make sure you free both the key and value members of each node.


The Global Summer Land Surface Temperature (LST) Grids, 2013, represent daytime maximum temperature and nighttime minimum temperature in degree Celsius at a spatial resolution of 30 arc-seconds (~1km) during summer months of the northern and southern hemisphere for the year 2013. The grids are produced using Aqua Level-3 Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Version 5 global daytime and nighttime LST 8-day composite data (MYD11A2). For most regions, the LST grids provide the daytime maximum (1:30 p.m. overpass) and nighttime minimum (1:30 a.m. overpass) LST values for each grid cell from a 40-day time-span during July-August (Julian days 185-224) 2013 in the northern hemisphere and January-February (Julian days 001-040) 2013 in the southern hemisphere. LST grid cells with missing values resulting from high cloud cover in tropical regions were filled with daytime maximum and nighttime minimum LST values from April-May 2013 in the northern hemisphere and December 2013-January 2014 in the southern hemisphere, where available. Some data gaps remain in areas where data were insufficient (e.g., Central Africa).

Screening of Manuelita Sáenz. La Libertadora del Libertador (Diego Rísquez, Venezuela, 2000, 97 min.), proposed by PedroMari Urrutikoetxea and followed by discussion.
Talk of Latin American pro-independence struggles or struggles against Spanish colonialism seldom mentions the contribution of women, but women were a part of them. The female cacique Urquía, for instance, played an important part in as a military commander in early anti-colonial struggles by Caribbean Native Americans. Likewise, Luisa Arranbide had a very active role in the first Venezuelan movements for independence and was taken prisoner by the Spanish government, then stripped naked and whipped in a public square in the centre of Caracas. During the War of Independence, Luisa Cáceres, the wife of General Arismendi, was taken prisoner and abused on Isla Margarita, Venezuela. Some guerilla group leaders were also women, such as Policarpa Salavarrieta in Colombia and Juanita Azurduy in Argentina and Bolivia.
But the most important of these women was probably MANUELITA SÁENZ DE BERGARA Y AIZPURU, the daughter of a top Spanish civil servant, born in Ecuador. Manuelita was given a well-rounded education for the time and married an English doctor, Dr. Thorne, who worked in Quito. When the War of Independence began, she became a fully-fledged member of the movement, and soon after met Simón Bolivar, whose wife had died some years earlier. They fell in love and began an intense relationship that earned Manuelita the name LA LIBERTADORA DEL LIBERTADOR (The liberator of the liberator). Their relationship lasted for eight years until Bolívar's oligarch enemies managed to depose him and marginalise him in Santa Marta. Manuelita was exiled in Paita, a village on the south coast of Peru.
Bolívar died months afterwards, and Manuelita lived to the age of seventy-one in her village of exile, where she died.
This film tells the story of Manuelita's life.
I'm PedroMari Urrutikoetxea and am Basque and Venezuelan. I've been in Euskal Herria for more than thirty years, but before that I lived in Venezuela for many years, where I was a member of different rebel movements after 1964.
I've also lived and worked in other countries.
I wanted to show this film because I think Manuelita is someone who deserves to be known.

Trash collectors in Stockport, England refused to empty 74-year-old grandmother Kay McIntyre's compost waste bin after she and her grandson filled it with weeds from her garden because "they claimed the plants had too much mud stuck to their roots."
Ms McIntyre filed an official complaint over the incident, and in response a low-level bureaucratic functionary actually showed up and dug through her bin to verify that the dirt-to-weed ratio was within acceptable parameters (which it indeed was).
It must be so heartening for those British subjects to learn the insane lengths to which their government is going to ensure their "health and safety".
"In addition to their green bin for garden and food waste, householders in Stockport are issued with a blue bin for paper and card, a brown bin for plastic bottles, glass and cans, and a black one for everything else."
4 large wheeled bins for every household. How efficient (and attractive).
Especially hilarious because garbage dumps put dirt over the garbage anyways.
I agree that it's a ridiculous waste of resources to reject a bin b/c of dirt, but I do like that they're recycling!


When is the right time to file for Bankruptcy? | The Law Office of Emil Fleysher, P.A. When is the right time to file for Bankruptcy? | The Law Office of Emil Fleysher, P.A.
Home Blog Bankruptcy When is the right time to file for Bankruptcy?
If the primary force driving you to file for bankruptcy is harassing phone calls, letters, and e-mails from your creditors, then chances are the sooner you can file the better. Filing for bankruptcy invokes the automatic stay which instantly prohibits any creditor from contacting you during the pendency of the bankruptcy case. If all goes well, at the end of your case you will receive a discharge of those debts and the temporary benefits of the automatic stay will become permanent.
If the primary force driving you to file for bankruptcy is that a creditor is garnishing your pay check or bank account, then you will probably benefit from filing your bankruptcy case as soon as possible. While filing for bankruptcy will not enable you to recover the money that was already garnished, it will prevent the creditor from taking any more money out of your paycheck or bank account. In this scenario, every day that you delay filing your bankruptcy petition will potentially cost you more money.
If the primary force driving you to file for bankruptcy is a foreclosure action, then the answer depends on a number of factors. If you are in pre-foreclosure or early in the foreclosure process, it may benefit you to delay the filing of your bankruptcy petition. Many things can happen in the time it takes for a foreclosure case to move from initial filing to the actual foreclosure sale. You may decide that you want to keep the house with a loan modification, sell the house and obtain a waiver of deficiency in a short sale, or you may need to maximize the time you can stay in the property in order to save money for relocation. It is important to mention that the money you save may be subject to the bankruptcy estate in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy if it can not be protected by Florida exemptions. Please consult with an attorney prior to making any legal decisions under these circumstances.
An important benefit to those considering whether to file for bankruptcy due to a foreclosure is the automatic stay protection which will suspend any foreclosure activity while the case is pending (up until the foreclosure sale). Typical Chapter 7 cases can take 3-5 months to complete. In many cases, it is more beneficial to you, the debtor, to delay filing the bankruptcy petition until your other options in defending against the foreclosure have been exhausted.

Gang Rape And Murder Of 8-Year-Old Girl Sparks Outrage Across India
Kamala Thiagarajan / NPR
Asifa Bano was 8 years old and wearing a purple salwar kameez when she disappeared on Jan. 10.
A week later, on Jan. 17, her mutilated and lifeless body was found in a forest near Kathua in the Indian-controlled region of Kashmir. It was a mile away from Rasana, the village where her family was currently living.
Reports say she was abducted while grazing her horses in a meadow, taken to a prayer hall nearby, sedated for three days, tortured and brutally gang-raped. She was eventually strangled and hit on the head several times with a stone to ensure that she was dead.
On Wednesday, graphic details of the crime and its perpetrators emerged in a charge sheet filed by the Jammu and Kashmir state police. Its contents sparked massive outrage across the country. People gathered for candlelight vigils in protest. And using the hashtag #JusticeForAsifa on social media, citizens are condemning the crime and encouraging each other to speak up to authorities.
Details from the report revealed that the crime was fueled by religious and political tensions between Asifa's tribe, a group of Indian Sunni Muslims called the Bakarwal, and local Hindus who saw them as a threat.
The conspirators' motive for raping the child, according to the charge sheet, was to drive the Muslim family out of the area.
It also showed that local policemen were accused of perpetrating the crime. When Asifa's family reported her missing in January, among those sent to find her was Deepak Khujaria, a 28-year-old special police officer. Based on DNA evidence, he has since been accused of committing the crime. Three other policemen have been charged with hindering investigations and tampering with DNA evidence, including washing Bano's clothes before sending it in for forensic testing.
Indians were furious that politicians were silent over the issue and that some locals even defended the accused, since they were Hindu. Two Bharatiya Janata Party ministers from India's ruling party, who seek to preserve Hindu ideals, even attended a rally to support the accused. They have since resigned.
For many citizens, Asifa's case was another painful reminder of how prevalent sexual violence is across the country.
It seems the country had not learned its lesson after the brutal gang rape and death of physiotherapy student Jyothi Singh in 2012, says Jasodhara Dasgupta, human rights activist and founder of SAHAYOG, an advocacy group for gender equality and women's rights based in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh.
"We thought we had made progress in preventing violence against women, but this is a cruel reminder of how little has changed," she says.
As a result of Singh's death, more stringent legal provisions were taken by the Indian government in 2012 to curb sexual violence. The Ministry of Women and Child Development in India, for example, introduced the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act.
Perhaps that's why the complicity of the police in Asifa's case "has been very painful," says Dasgupta.
Laws against sexual violence aren't enough, says Jayshree Bajoria, a researcher for Human Rights Watch — they must also be enforced. "Police often try to shield influential perpetrators. And there are numerous instances in which victims are unduly pressured to withdraw complaints. We are clearly lacking in fair, transparent, timebound investigations," she says.
Friday, Yuri Afanasiev, the U.N. resident coordinator in India, condemned the crime and called for leadership at the highest level to address sexual violence and ensure accountability.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke out about the case Friday: "I want to assure the country that no culprit will be spared, complete justice will be done. Our daughters will definitely get justice."

The Supreme Court in Gambia on Tuesday postponed hearing in a petition filed by embattled President Yayah Jammeh, who is challenging his defeat to Adama Barrow in December's presidential election.
Barrow, a former real estate agent, who was little known before he announced his candidacy, was scheduled to take office on 19 January.
The postponement of the case came one day after the Communications Minister, Sheriff Bojang, stepped down and fled the West African nation.
Bojang said he resigned because Jammeh's refusal to accept the outcome of the presidential election was disregarding the will of the people.
On Monday, several West African heads of state resolved to intervene in Gambia's political crisis after meeting in the Nigerian capital, Abuja.
They were expected to arrive in Gambia to meet with Jammeh, who ruled the country for more than two decades on Wednesday.
The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the UN and the African Union are also expected to take part in the dialogue and call on Jammeh to respect the country's constitution.
During an earlier meeting in December, the West African leaders failed to convince Jammeh to permit peaceful transition of power.
Some observers fear that delays to the planned handover of power can lead to violence.

Cirque du Soleil's Michael Jackson show starts selling tickets on Saturday. Presale starts today for Michael Jackson fan club members.
The official announcement comes this morning.
The show — called "The Immortal World Tour"– is a stadium tour that begins in Montreal in October 2011. The tour proceeds to Detroit, spends about a month in Las Vegas for December 2011, then heads to the west coast in early 2012. It should get to New York later that spring.
Cirque du Soleil's Jamie King is the director. John Branca, co-executor of the Michael Jackson estate, says that the show will be full of Michael's music, and the costumes and look will reflect all the elements that made him famous. But there won't be any Michael Jackson imitators, he promises.
Cirque's Beatles show, "Love," in Las Vegas continues to amaze and astound. It's doing so well that I've heard the producers are planning a fifth anniversary extravaganza in Vegas next June. "Immortal" should follow in its footsteps.
Meantime, no word from Sony Music on the Jackson album of unreleased songs.

Italian Minister of Finance Giovanni Tria arrives at a euro zone finance ministers meeting in Brussels, Belgium, Nov. 5, 2018. Photo Xinhua.
Italian government officials say they have no plans to deviate from their collision course with the European Union (EU) over the country's 2019 budget, something analysts said would likely lead to economic fines balanced by possible political gains.
Last month, Italy submitted a draft budget for next year with a deficit equivalent to of 2.4 percent of the country's gross domestic product (GDP), three times more than outlined in guidance from the European Commission, the EU's executive. The commission gave Italy until Nov. 13 to resubmit a draft budget with a smaller deficit.
With the clock ticking toward the deadline, Italy has given no indication it planned to back down.
On Thursday, Italian Minister of Finance Giovanni Tria issued a statement saying European officials failed to understand Italy's reasons for the larger-than-expected deficit, which the government has said will help spark economic growth.
Tria stated the commission's views "derive from an inadequate and partial analysis" of the draft budget, even though Italy provided all the information needed to reach a different conclusion. Tria said that "the Italian Parliament authorized a maximum deficit of 2.4 percent (of GDP) for the 2019 budget" and that "the government is obligated to respect that."
Two days before Tria's statement, Pierre Moscovici, European Commissioner for Financial and Economic Affairs, cautioned Italy was going too far with its deficit plans.
"It is one thing to be flexible and another thing to disregard the rules," Moscovici told reporters in Brussels. "Our flexibility has always been in evidence, especially for Italy. But there are limits."
Riccardo Puglisi, a political economist with the University of Pavia, told Xinhua a clash between Rome and Brussels was probably unavoidable.
"Neither side wants to blink first," Puglisi said. "It looks like Italy will ignore guidance and will then be forced to pay fines from the commission."
Puglisi said the government, headed by Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte and backed by the country's two main populist political parties, is likely banking on the political benefits of standing up to the European Commission, which will outweigh whatever sanctions the commission would impose.
"Elections for the European Parliament will take place in six months," he said. "Neither of the parties in power want to be seen as the one that backed down when pressed by the European Commission."
Several of the aspects of the 2019 budget plan have raised eyebrows, including the establishment of a guaranteed minimum income for Italian citizens and a flat tax on income.
But one part of the budget attracting attention involves an unusual incentive aimed at helping reverse Italy's declining birthrate, the lowest in Europe. The plan would loan Italian couples who have a third child before 2021 farmland, cost free, for 20 years. It would also provide interest-free loans of up to 200,000 euros to help those families purchase homes near the farmland.
Critics of the plan say it is unlikely to work, and even if it proves effective, it recalls controversial policies promoted by Benito Mussolini's fascist governments to increase the country's population in the 1920s and 1930s.
"Until the 1990s, speaking about the country's birth rate was a taboo topic in Italy because it reminded everyone of Mussolini," Maria Silvana Salvini, a professor of demographics at the University of Florence, told Xinhua.
"More importantly, there is no way this kind of plan will work. Italy is now a post-industrial economy. A government can't convince modern families to have one or two extra children by trying to turn them into farmers."

Malayalam industry takes a huge blow after actor Dileep gets arrested
Televisions airing films of Dileep have now changed their plans owing to arrest of the actor.
By Gautham Pattikonda | July 12, 2017 05:53 pm | 22,282 reads | 9 comments
After actor Dileep got arrested in connection with the assault case of Malayalam actress, the repercussions have had a huge effect on many aspects related to the film industry. With Dileep being part of few films lined up which he has signed up for but yet to start shooting for, the producers are in no man's land with no clarity on the issue.
Dileep's upcoming film, Ramleela, was postponed earlier when it was initially slated to be released on July 7th, 2017. Ramleela is Dileep's big budget film produced by Tomichan Mulakupadam, whose Mohanlal-starrer Pulimurugan became the first Malayalam film to cross the INR 100-crore mark.
Dileeps' another film, Kammara Sambhavam, has completed about 80% of the shooting and is now left hanging, according to sources. The shooting of Professor Dinkan has just begun and with Dileep now in a legal tangle, those behind this venture too may have to suffer losses.
And it is not just films that are taking a hit, CD shop owners too have been affected by this. "I was at a video shop yesterday and when the owner told me that Dileep's latest film 'Georgechettans Poorem' CDs are available, I felt I should not see it and took another CD instead. The shop owner told me that his several customers now refuse to rent out a Dileep film," a school teacher, who didn't want to be named, told a news agency.
Quite a few television channels were slated to air Dileep's films but now have changed these at the last minute following his arrest. Dileep, who has acted in more than 130 films, was the third most popular superstar in the Malayalam film industry after Mammootty and Mohanlal, but as producer of films he stood at the number one position and also owns a string of multiplexes.

This man is so vile because an actress ratted him out to his wife that he was having an adulterous affair with another actress. He resorted to having her raped and the most disgusting part had it filmed. Ego, money and power has ruined this man, is he the only successful actor in India ?
Justice must descend hard on him.
PV please post.

Who pays to watch movies with heroes looking like him.. Spare the horror.. The so called heroes.. Urghh
Reply July 13, 2017 at 3:31 am
In Malayalam movies its not about the looks…unlike in Bollywood a lousy actor like Salman Khan & his harem can survive just on his beauty(thanks to their plastic surgeons ) this industry is different..
Sincerely hope we do not support Dileep again. It's so evil and vile that can't even fathom how can someone look at his family after the event..
What happened? Can anyone comment?
Reply July 13, 2017 at 12:24 am
My fellow malls…lets all unite together and show that we cannot be manipulated by these cheap actors with no morals…esp looking at the Bollywood industry which supports criminals like Salman like he is God. We are better than them…
What goes around comes around!
Exactly! Lets hope he does get out due to his power and money.

The Green Knight: Should Your Kid Be Allowed to Play Football?
Should Your Kid Be Allowed to Play Football?
The football world was rocked this week when Chris Borland, a promising, young linebacker for the SF 49ers, decided to retire rather than risk lifelong injury. As more and more evidence has been mounting that repeated head trauma (even when protected by a helmet) can have a lifelong, cumulative effect, this early retirement calls the question: is football fundamentally unsafe? For people in my age group (whose playing days are long behind us) the real question is: "Would I let my kid play football?"
I'm really divided on this. football was a really integral part of my development as a young man, as a leader, as a teammate, as a disciplined goal achiever, and (certainly at TJ!) as a prevailing underdog. Lifelong friendships were made on the field and lifelong experiences took place under the friday night lights.
Could the same have happened in another sport or even a non-sport activity? I would assume so, but, for whatever reason, football was just a better fit for me than baseball, wrestling, track, Boy Scouts, theatre, and all the other activities that slowly fell by the wayside as I grew older. I loved football and I was good at it so it became a fantastic "sandbox" in which for me to grow and develop. If I had a son, I would hope for him to have access to that sandbox too.
But we now know much more than we did back then about the implications of repetitive head trauma. I'm not sure I would let a son play today, knowing what we now know. Although I feel blessed to have made it through a college career without any major injuries or surgeries (which I can't say about many of my teammates), lord knows I played through some concussions in my day. And lord knows I dished out many more concussions than I received - something of which I was proud at the time but at which I look back now with regret.
New research seems to be implicating other sports - like soccer - as well in such head trauma, although I really can't imagine that it's at the same level. But it does remind me that the question isn't: "Is football dangerous?" It's "Is football more dangerous than other sports? If so, how much more so?"
At the end of the day, parents can't protect children from all dangers. In fact, it would be a disservice for them to do so, lest their children grow up completely unable to defend for themselves. So I suppose it's up to parents and athletes to make an informed decision about whether the [unique] risks of an activity outweigh its [unique] rewards. One thing is clear, though: in order to empower parents and athletes to make that assessment for football, we need more, better, and more available data.


As a NOW Foods Ambassador I get to try many different products each month which is pretty awesome. I love NOW Foods and I love that they focus on creating products that are natural. It can get scary when you research what is actually in your supplements (that is a whole other post) and the fact is that when it comes to choosing better products we tend to focus on our food, but our supplements require just as much scrutiny.
NOW Supplements are ones I can trust and you can read about why on their site. I have been utilizing a few of their supplements to fuel and recover from my workouts for the past few months. I did take a break in May while my toes was healing, but now that I am back up and running I am using them again.
Which ones am I currently using??
Sports Energy Extreme: According to NOW this supplement is "formulated to supply the nutrients you need to promote sustained energy production and mental alertness" and that is exactly what it does! I only take this supplement on the days I am going to be working our hard and I will tell you I definitely see a difference in my performance when I do.
Electro Endurance: According to NOW's website: "NOW® Electro Endurance™ contains all of the elements necessary for post-exercise recovery. Electro Endurance™ combines a special mix of simple and complex carbohydrates, protein, and electrolytes to promote rapid recovery from hard exercise". I personally use this product during and after exercise. I mix it with water and it's tastes okay, but works great.
ZMA: "ZMA® is a combination of Zinc, Magnesium and Vitamin B-6 designed to maximize absorption and to promote recovery from exercise" (Source). I take this supplement every night and I feel it definitely helps with recovery. I have less soreness and feel better overall.
Calcium & Magnesium: I take calcium and magnesium to support bone health. I have suffered from multiple stress fractures in my life and most recently a broken toe, so I figure any help in the bone department is a good thing. Does it actually work? I hope so, but there is nothing I can actually feel in my body to tell you it does, I guess only time will tell.
Overall this mix of supplements have been working well for me. I would love to hear what supplements work well for you! Tell me all about them in the comments below!
I'm not a big supplement person–I take Vitamin D, fish oil, B complex, and a probiotic. But as I've been overindulging lately, I need to clean up my act!
I'm not a supplement person, but you're right about making sure you know the ingredients of what you're taking and how they all work together.
That's great that the supplements have been so effective for you! I have never tried NOW foods brand and I'm curious to learn more about how to balance the supplements with eating and working out.
Its so important to find the supplements that work best for you. Every body has different, and has different needs, so its so important to read the ingredients list to make sure that you're finding what will best meet your individual needs.
Debbie recently posted..Big Bear Running and Baby it's HOT Outside!
Yay, congrats! I love NOW, they are pretty amazing!
That's quite a lot of supplements! I need to get my hands on some.
I take a multi vitamin and extra calcium and C but don't use any other supplements. You are right that it is important to know what is in them and how they interact.
I am a supplement person for sure. For heavy lifting days I love a good pre-workout and I always have a good protein shake afterwards. Amino acids are a big one for me, they help me recover and get through tough workouts.
This reminds me – I probably should be taking a calcium supplement, especially since I don't eat dairy!
I'm not much into supplements…I take a multi-vitamin, calcium, glucosamine/chrondroitin and turmeric curcumin. I:m working on getting greener with my diet….major work-in-progress.
I'm really not consistent with any supplements I take. I will play around with garlic and Vitamin C, but that's about it. Mr PugRunner takes a couple of different things to help with joint health, and he says it makes a huge difference.
I take magnesium every day and I've found it really helps with recovery and lack of muscle soreness after a race or hard training day.
I used to use supplements a lot more than I do now. I am more of a coffee for pre-workout and whole foods for fuel after. That has a lot to do with sensitivities though- I like the idea of taking the ZMA.
I take my multi vitamin daily and when I remember my calcium chew! I keep seeing good things about these NOW products!
I don't really take any supplements, including the one (b-12) that I really need. I should probably find a good calcium supplement as well.
I really think I need to take some calcium and magnesium, especially with my shin pain/problems. I need a vitamin in general haha. Thanks for the info on these supplements!
These days, I don't take many supplements (I took many more when I was vegetarian and vegan) but I swear by Natural Calm magnesium for sleeping better and helping with muscle cramps.

The Delaware County Board of Commissioners distributed a draft master plan to township trustees throughout the county in July that offers four individual options for Emergency Medical Services (EMS), with one of the options being a countywide run EMS department.
Liberty Township Trustee Melanie Leneghan said residents are paying for both the township's fire department/EMS and the county EMS. She added it appears the commissioners' ultimate goal is to make Delaware County EMS a countywide service.
For clarification, The Gazette reported in 2016 that the county EMS is supported by a countywide .5 percent sales tax, while Liberty Township's fire department, including EMS, are supported through the township's fire levy.
Michael Frommer, Delaware County administer, was invited by trustees to present the master draft plan and answer questions.
Frommer said there are seven individual organizations that provide EMS in the county with most being fire departments that provide the service, plus DCEMS. Currently, Liberty Township and the City of Delaware fire departments partner with the county, which provides supplementary funding to provide the service to their individual municipalities.
Frommer said Delaware County EMS has 10 stations throughout the county in different geographic areas, but not one is set up solely in a township.
Frommer said a couple of the things that came out in the master plan that the county might consider is dispatching the closest vehicle using GPS technology and a predetermined response protocol.
Frommer added there are four alternatives to the master plan, but none of those alternatives have been adopted.
"There has not been a formal vote by the commissioners about adopting this master plan and recommending it to the board (of trustees)," he said.
Liberty Township Trustee Shyra Eichhorn said she realizes the master plan is only a draft, but there are a lot of red flags in it for her.
"Are you working through those first," she asked Frommer.
Frommer said the county was starting to implement some improvements.
Leneghan said she read the report to say that because there are seven providers, there are problems.
Trustees asked Chief Tom O'Brien to pull the township's numbers and compare them to the numbers in the draft master plan.
After the meeting, O'Brien did not comment on the topic.
However, Liberty Township Professional Firefighters Local 3754 rendered a press release to The Gazette.

Q: "Pretending to be the bad-tasting butterfly can help the yummy one become a predator's lunch" -- is it correct to use "help" this way? I was reading the news and came across the following:

A second study in the same issue of Nature focused on Heliconius butterflies [...] Nadeau is an evolutionary geneticist at the University of Sheffield in England. Her team was looking for genetic variants associated with the presence — or absence — of yellow bands on the wings. That coloring is important because that yellow band helps some yummy species of butterflies mimic vile-tasting ones. Pretending to be the bad-tasting butterfly can help the yummy one become a predator's lunch.

I wonder if it is correct to use the verb help that way. Logically, the sentence says that the coloring protects the butterflies from being eaten, but can it mean the opposite? Doesn't it actually say that the coloring can help a predator find the butterflies?
I think I can make the point clearer by replacing the help with its definition, make it easier:

Pretending to be the bad-tasting butterfly makes it easier for the yummy one to become a predator's lunch.

A: As ColleenV and FumbleFingers state above, this must be a mistake. The intended meaning was certainly "can help the yummy one not become", or "can help the yummy one avoid becoming", or "can help the yummy one by making it less likely to become", or similar.

Plugin Free? It really depends on how you define that, and yes, I know the current definition.
Are smart phones/tablets plugin free? IMO, the direction is that of being a container that allows plugins(Apps) to render themselves based on a set of rules defined by the phone/tablet maker.
The browser should be the same, not a different method of information delivery. In other words, the standards should be focused on a standard container for app delivery, not a standard based on content rendering.
