In the Heart of the Sea is a 2015 historical adventure-drama film directed and produced by Ron Howard and written by Charles Leavitt. It is based on Nathaniel Philbrick's 2000 non-fiction book of the same name, about the sinking of the American whaling ship Essex in 1820, an event that in part inspired Herman Melville's 1851 novel Moby-Dick. An international co-production between the United States and Spain, the film stars Chris Hemsworth, Benjamin Walker, Cillian Murphy, Tom Holland, Ben Whishaw, and Brendan Gleeson.

The film premiered in New York City on December 7, 2015, and was released in cinemas in the United States on December 11, 2015, by Warner Bros. Pictures. In the Heart of the Sea received mixed reviews from critics and was a box office bomb, grossing only $93 million against a $100 million budget.

Plot
In 1850, author Herman Melville visits innkeeper Thomas Nickerson, the last survivor of the sinking of the whaleship Essex, offering money in return for his story. Nickerson initially refuses, but then finally agrees when his wife intervenes.

The story turns to 1820: a whaling company in Nantucket has refitted the Essex to participate in a whale hunt and get back some lucrative whale oil, and 14-year-old Nickerson signs on as a cabin boy. The owners hire veteran whaler Owen Chase as first mate, though he is disappointed not to receive a captain's commission. The captain is George Pollard, an inexperienced mariner from an established whaling family who envies Chase's skill and popularity. Chase and Pollard clash, leading Pollard to sail into a storm against Chase's advice. The two agree to put their differences aside, rather than risking their reputations by returning to port without profit, and soon, the crew kills their first bull sperm whale.

Three months pass with no further successes, and Pollard realizes that the Atlantic Ocean holds no sighting of whales. The Essex sails past Cape Horn to the Pacific, hoping for better luck in catching one. In Atacames, Ecuador, the officers meet a Spanish captain who tells them his crew found the bountiful "Offshore Grounds" 2,000 miles to the west, but claims that a vengeful "white whale" destroyed his ship, killing six of his men. Dismissing the story as a myth, Pollard and Chase lead the expedition west. They find the undisturbed grounds, but when they launch the whaling boats, a massive bull sperm whale, its skin whitened by scars, attacks; damaging the boats and turning on the ship.

Chase harpoons it from the Essexs deck, but the whale rams the ship's hull, killing two men. With the hull stove in and pumps not working, the crew abandons the sinking Essex in the three intact whaling boats, and must sail hundreds of miles to shore with very limited supplies. The whale follows and attacks again, but they escape to the tiny Henderson Island, George Pollard presumes it could be Ducie Island, and admits there is no way to be certain without instruments. While gathering food, Chase discovers the long dead corpses of earlier castaways, after which the crew fears that they might die waiting on the island before another ship passes by. Just four men decide to stay, while the rest set sail again on the boats, with the hope of drifting along the trade winds and finding better lands. Soon after, one of the men dies, and the remaining crew reluctantly decide to cannibalise him.

The older Nickerson is overcome with remorse for his cannibalism and stops his story, thinking his wife could not love him if she knew about it; however, when his wife comforts him, assuring him that she still loves him, he feels encouraged enough to finish. Back in the 1820s, the three boats are separated by the currents and one is lost. The other two further resort to cannibalism to survive, with Pollard's cousin Henry Coffin sacrificing himself.

The white whale suddenly returns, and Chase gets into position for a final attack. The whale breaches for a moment, allowing Chase to observe a portion of his previously thrown harpoon still embedded above the whale's eye. Chase hesitates, and stares into the whale's left eye, as the whale stares back at Chase. After a moment of thought, Chase lowers his harpoon, deciding not to kill the creature. Following this encounter, the whale swims away peacefully, and is never seen again.

A passing ship rescues Pollard's boat, but Chase's boat continues to drift with no food or water. Finally, with the survivors on the verge of death, the latter's boat reaches Chile's Alejandro Selkirk Island. The survivors are all brought back to Nantucket, where they finally reunite with their distraught families. The Nantucket ships' owners ask Pollard and Chase to cover up the story to protect the industry's reputation, but Chase, deciding he has had enough of their dishonesty and that he no longer cares about them, refuses to go along and resigns. Pollard reveals the truth in the inquiry, much to their anger.

Nickerson relates that a ship was sent to Henderson Island to rescue the surviving men there, Chase continued sailing the seas and became a merchant captain, which his wife had said earlier would not change her love for him, and Pollard led another expedition to find and kill the whale. However, he was never able to find the animal and the ship ran aground off the Hawaiian Islands and was forced to retire. Melville departs to compose his novel, Moby-Dick, beginning by writing its first line: "Call me Ishmael".

Production

Casting
The film was in development back in 2000, with Barry Levinson set to direct for Miramax Films.

Chris Hemsworth was cast to play the lead, Owen Chase, in June 2012. Tom Holland won the role of young Nickerson in April 2013. Cillian Murphy signed on as Matthew Joy in June. Before Benjamin Walker was set to play the Captain, other actors that were considered included Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Hiddleston, and Henry Cavill.

Filming
Principal photography began in September 2013 in London and at Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden in Hertfordshire, England. It was also shot on location on the island of La Gomera (plus some scenes on Lanzarote) in the Canary Islands, Spain. For the storm scenes, the production team built a water tank at Leavesden Studios, where a deck was built on top of a gimbal to mimic the pitch of a storm. To get the right effect, 500 gallons of icy water were poured from cannons.

During one point of filming, the cast and crew were forced to retreat to their hotel by a storm off the Canary Islands, which turned into a rare flash flood. The production shut down for a day and a half, expanding the shoot to 73 days, exactly as filmmakers expected.

In an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Hemsworth stated that to prepare for the role of starving sailors, the cast were on a diet of 500–600 calories a day to lose weight. Hemsworth dropped his weight from 215 to 175 pounds (97.5 to 79.3 kg) to play Owen, saying that In the Heart of the Sea is "physically and emotionally the hardest movie that I've been a part of... Losing the weight to this length, I just never want to do it again, but it had such an emotional effect on us... in some small way, we felt like we were doing what these men went through justice."

Music
Roque Baños composed the film score. He was recommended by Hans Zimmer, who was initially approached.

Release
The film was originally scheduled to be released in the United States and Canada on March 13, 2015, but was later pushed back to December 11 in order to convert the film into 3D as well as to give it higher chances of being an awards season contender. Internationally, Warner Bros. decided to open the film early overseas—a week before its United States December 11 opening—to avoid competition with Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which began its theatrical overseas from December 16. The film was released in the Dolby Vision format in Dolby Cinema in North America.

Home media
In the Heart of the Sea was released on DVD, Blu-ray & Blu-ray 3D on March 8, 2016. It was released on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray on May 17, 2016.

Reception

Box office
In the Heart of the Sea was one of two flops released by Warner Bros in 2015, the other being Pan. It grossed $25 million in North America and $68.9 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $93.9 million, against a production budget of $100 million.

In the United States and Canada, the film opened on December 11, 2015, in 3,103 theaters, including a number of 3D and IMAX theaters. Box Office Mojo projected an opening weekend gross of $18 million, noting that the film's only competition was with the holdover of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 (in its fourth weekend of play). The film earned $3.8 million on its opening day, including $575,000 from its early Thursday night showings. In its opening weekend, it earned $11.1 million, finishing below expectations and narrowly losing to Mockingjay – Part 2, which earned $11.4 million. Many box office analysts said the low opening was because audiences' enthusiasm was focused on the arrival of Star Wars: The Force Awakens the following week. Regarding the film's disappointing opening, Jeff Goldstein, Warner Bros. distribution executive vice president said, "We stand behind Ron and his vision for the story, we believe in him. He's a terrific filmmaker. But some movies work and unfortunately some movies don't." In its third weekend the film was pulled from 72.3% of theaters (3,103 to 685), the 4th biggest drop in history at the time.

In the Heart of the Sea was released internationally a week prior to its United States opening in 38 markets and grossed a total of $18.5 million with 3.3 million admissions on over 9,500 screens. 50% of the plays were in 3D with 156 IMAX theaters which accounted for 7% of the total opening. It went No. 1 in Russia and the CIS ($2 million), Italy ($1.7 million) and several other Asian markets such as Thailand and Taiwan and No. 2 in South Korea with $2.6 million, behind local hit Inside Men, Mexico with $1.9 million, behind The Good Dinosaur and Brazil with $1.3 million, behind The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2.

Critical response
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 42% based on 241 reviews and an average rating of 5.5/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "The admirably old-fashioned In the Heart of the Sea boasts thoughtful storytelling to match its visual panache, even if it can't claim the depth or epic sweep to which it so clearly aspires." On Metacritic, the film has a score of 47 out of 100 based on 47 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews". Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B+" on an A+ to F scale.

Ignatiy Vishnevetsky of The A.V. Club calls the film "ravishing and very corny".

Der Katzbach ist ein knapp 18 Kilometer langer Bach im Westen des Kraichgaus, der beim Ortsteil Stettfeld von Ubstadt-Weiher von rechts in den Kraichbach mündet.

Geographie

Verlauf
Die Quelle des Katzbachs liegt im Großen Wald rund einen Kilometer südöstlich des Eichelbergs () und eineinhalb Kilometer westlich von Hilsbach, einer früher selbständigen Stadt, die heute zu Sinsheim gehört. Westliche Fließrichtung einschlagend, verlässt der Bach nach rund 400 Meter die Gemarkung von Hilsbach und damit den Rhein-Neckar-Kreis, durchquert auf etwa 300 Meter das Gebiet der Stadt Eppingen, die zum Landkreis Heilbronn gehört, und erreicht dann die Gemarkung von Eichelberg, ein Stadtteil von Östringen im Landkreis Karlsruhe.

In der Eichelberger Gemarkung verlässt der Katzbach bald das geschlossene Waldgebiet, das er seit seiner Quelle durchfließt, und wendet sich nach Südwesten. Am rechten Talhang liegt das bebaute Gebiet von Eichelberg. Südöstlich von Eichelberg wird der Bach von einem rund 15 Meter hohen Viadukt überquert, das zum heute stillgelegten Teil der Katzbachbahn gehört. Ungefähr ab den Viadukt folgt die Landesstraße 552 dem weiteren Verlauf des Tals.

Südlich von Eichelberg durchfließt der Katzbach den Kreuzbergsee, einen rund 300 Meter langen, knapp 100 Meter breiten künstlich angelegten See mit einer Fläche von etwa zwei Hektar.

Anschließend durchfließt der Katzbach den Ortskern von Tiefenbach, eines weiteren Stadtteils von Östringen. In Höhe von Tiefenbach ist das Katzbachtal knapp 100 Meter tief.

Unterhalb von Tiefenbach mündet von links und innerhalb eines Golfplatzes der Hainbach in den Katzbach. Dieser südlich von Elsenz entspringende Hainbach ist kürzer als der Oberlauf des Katzbach (4,1 zu 5,7 Kilometer), hat jedoch ein etwas größeres Einzugsgebiet (6,4 zu 6,0 Quadratkilometer). Der Katzbach nimmt die westnordwestliche Fließrichtung des Hainbachs auf, die er bis unterhalb von Odenheim, ebenfalls ein Stadtteil von Östringen, beibehält.

Am östlichen Ortsrand von Odenheim mündet von rechts der Kapellenbach, ein 4,5 Kilometer langer Bach, der westlich von Eichelberg entsteht und das ehemalige Ritterstift Odenheim passiert. Der Katzbach durchfließt das Ortszentrum von Odenheim; am rechten Ufer liegt der Bahnhof, der das heutige Ende der zur Stadtbahn Karlsruhe gehörenden Katzbachbahn markiert. Am westlichen Ortsrand von Odenheim mündet von rechts der gut zwei Kilometer lange Elsbach. Odenheim ist einer von mehreren Orten, die für sich in Anspruch nehmen, Tatort der in der Nibelungensage geschilderten Ermordung Siegfrieds zu sein. Der zugehörige Siegfriedbrunnen, der 1876 noch unter dem Namen Seesbrunnen firmierte, liegt rund 400 Meter rechts des Elsbaches an der Landesstraße von Odenheim nach Östringen.

Im folgenden Abschnitt nach Westen fließend, passiert der Bach das nicht dauereingestaute Hochwasserrückhaltebecken Katzbach mit einem gewöhnlichen Rückhaltevolumen von 143.000 Kubikmeter.

Die beiden folgenden Orte am Katzbach, Zeutern und Stettfeld, gehören zur Gemeinde Ubstadt-Weiher. In Zeutern mündet zwischen zwei Mühlkanälen von rechts der 2,5 Kilometer lange Besingbach. In Stettfeld verlässt der Katzbach den Kraichgau und tritt in die Oberrheinische  Tiefebene ein. Nach Unterquerung der Bundesstraße 3 und der Bahnstrecke Heidelberg–Karlsruhe mündet der Katzbach von rechts und Südosten in den Kraichbach. Gut 100 Meter weiter flussabwärts zweigt der Kriegbach, ein primär der Hochwasserentlastung dienender Bach, vom Kraichbach ab.

It is our great pleasure to welcome Dr Ian Street to our editorial team. Ian will be taking on the role of our first ever Resources Editor. What is a Resources Editor, I hear you ask – let me explain.
At AoBBlog, we like books. We also like book reviews, which are an integral part of many scientific print journals. A while ago, we had a discussion about book reviews on the blog, which went a bit like: "Let's review botany books." – "Good idea! Do e-books count as books?" – "Of course. But what about a plant identification app that might have the same purpose as an identification e-book? And if an app counts, what about games, podcasts or videos?" It didn't take us long to realise that an appropriate equivalent of a book review for AoB Blog would be a review of any resource that provides access to knowledge, independent of the medium it uses. A story can be told in a book, a podcast or a video. Information can be conveyed through a book, an app, an online game, or a recorded lecture.
There are lot of exciting plant science resources online, enough that it warranted the creation of a dedicated 'Resources Editor'. We were overjoyed when Ian agreed to join our team. Ian's areas of expertise are plant hormones, plant development, and of course science communication. Ian is currently transitioning from academia into the world of full-time science writing and editing, and is a seasoned science blogger. Some of you might already know his blog 'The Quiet Branches', but Ian has also written guest articles for AoB Blog, The Royal Society of Biology Blog, and the UK Plant Sciences Federation blog, All Under One Leaf, and others.
Ian is looking forward to shaping this new role: "I am honoured to to join the AoB Blog team, a leader in communicating plant science, as the Resources Editor. My favourite thing, and a big reason I got into science, was learning about new things, new resources, new ideas, and letting other people know about them. Initiating connections of scientists to resources and one another as assets for their science, teaching, or public engagement is gratifying." So, what can we expect in the near future? "Amongst my early goals will be to share the resource of coffee and tea, plants that fuel innovation and ideas". We're looking forward to it!
Anne Osterrieder is a Lecturer in Biology and Science Communication at Oxford Brookes University, UK. A plant cell biologist, she loves the Golgi apparatus, lasers and cats. She has her own blog at Plant Cell Biology.

Big moves coming in Oil Country?
Published on January 11, 2022 at 1:23 p.m.
In case you missed it earlier today, Edmonton Oilers general manager Ken Holland held a press conference to discuss his team's nose-dive in the standings over the past month and to take questions from the Edmonton media.
Here's the press conference in its entirety:
Holland did offer up some good insight into what his plans are for the rest of the season, especially when it comes to roster moves and the future of head coach Dave Tippett.
First up: Evander Kane. It's no secret that Holland is interested in signing the controversial former San Jose Shark forward now that he's officially a free agent. Multiple NHL insiders have reported over the past 48 hours that the Oilers are interested in Kane and that Holland has been in contact with Kane's agent Dan Milstein.
When asked specifically what his interest is in Kane, here's what Holland had to say:
"Well I've talked to his agent... as a manager it's my responsibility to investigate every situation... I believe in second chances."
- Ken Holland
While that certainly doesn't indicate that the Oilers are on the verge of signing Kane, it does indicate that the Oilers are in the mix and that Holland would like to get the 30 year old power forward on his roster.
It remains to be seen where Kane ends up, as its been reported that he's only interested in signing with a Stanley Cup contender. It's also worth noting that his former contract with the Sharks contained a no-trade clause that allowed him only to be traded to the Florida Panthers, Tampa Bay Lightning or his hometown Vancouver Canucks. Again, stay tuned on that front.
Regarding head coach Dave Tippett, Holland somewhat dismissed the idea of firing Tippett mostly due to the fact that the Oilers have had so many changes behind the bench over the past decade.
Here's what Holland had to say when asked what his plans are for Tippett:
"I don't believe in firing coaches. We're going to win. I believe in the coach. I believe in the team. I believe in the leadership in the team. I believe that the team is playing hard and competing every night."
Holland would go on to point out that the Oilers have hired and fired seven coaches in the past 10 years and, obviously, that's no recipe for success. It looks indeed like Tippett will at least stick with the team through the season for better or worse. Thoughts, Oilers fans?

Over the last few years, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's concept of flow has become a popular topic within design circles.
Many designers and information architects now view the psychological state of flow as a desirable goal for the end users of the products and interfaces they create. User experience professionals now have a clear target around which to center their design efforts.
Although the characteristics of the flow experience are well defined in psychological circles, there are a number of questions that have not been addressed with regard to this psychological state.
• How do users' emotional states affect the creation of flow?
• What are the differences between novice and experienced users when it comes to creating flow?
• How do differences in the goals (i.e. experiential vs. goal directed) of users affect the creation of flow?
This presentation will explore the role of emotions in determining the creation of flow. This includes the role that emotional states play in affecting how we focus attention, learn, process and use information. The creation of flow is ultimately determined by a combination of our individual skill levels, the challenge provided by the task at hand, and the level of motivation we have to complete that task.
Understanding how to enhance users' experiences by creating flow states allows us to tailor the design of products, websites and software to different user groups with different levels of skill. This is important because products that can elicit flow tend to create higher levels of loyalty amongst users.
Viewers will learn about the underlying causes, characteristics and consequences of flow. They will also learn how flow is related to emotional design, and how to take user goals into consideration when designing for flow.


The United States Mint is responsible for making all US coin currency, in addition to US backed precious metals coins. The US Mint operates out of a number of branches, including Philadelphia, San Francisco, Denver and West Point, however it's original branch was located in Philhadelphia. American issued precious metals coins are very popular and have gained a following, particularly among North American precious metals investors.
The US Mint was initially founded in 1792 for the purpose of issuing American coins. At this time Philadelphia was the American capital, and it is for this reason that the first US Mint facility was located there. The mint has continued operations since that time. Initially, most coins issued for circulation had gold or silver in them. The US MInt was also the first US government agency to employ women.
In the 1850's, the US Mint opened locations in San Francisco in response to the gold rush, which had brought a lot of people to the west in search of wealth. The San Francisco branch was opened for the sole purpose of buying in gold from miners and converting it into coins.
In response ot the large amount of gold that was being refined by the US Mints across America, there was a need for a bullion depository - a place to store the metal. In the mid 1930s, Fort Knox opened in Kentucky.
Since that time the United States has continued to refine and manufacture gold and silver bars and coins on an institutional level. In the mid 1980's, it became apparent that there was a demand for retail gold and silver coins among individual investors looking to buy gold coins in smaller quantities as part of an investment portfolio.
The United States Government first issued the 1 Ounce American Eagle gold coin in 1985. Since 1986, the gold American Eagle coin has been available in four sizes - 1 Oz, 1/2 Oz, 1/4 Oz and 1/10 Oz.
All American Eagle gold coins contain a gold purity of 999 fine. United States Eagles issued from 1986 until 1991 were issued using Roman numeral dates. From 1992 onwards, the dates were issued in Arabic numerals.
The design on all gold American Eagle coins is always the same. The front of each coin features an image of Lady Liberty walking with the sun rising behind her. She carries a torch in one hand and an olive branch in the other. The reverse of the coin features a male Eagle bringing branches back to his nest, where the female Eagle is sitting.
The United States Mint issued the silver American Eagle coin at the same time that the gold Eagle was released - in 1986. However, the silver American Eagle is only available in 1 Ounce size. All silver Eagles have a face value of $1 USD.
The design on a silver American Eagle is similar to that of the gold one - the front of the coin features an image of Lady Liberty walking, with the sun rising behind her. The reverse features an Eagle perched behind a shield. 13 starts representing the 13 original colonies are located above the Eagle's head.
Issued in 1995, the platinum American Eagle is a less common but still popular coin in the American Eagle series. Each coin features an image of the Statue of Liberty on the front. The reverse of each coin is updated each year. All platinum American Eagles contain 999.5 fine platinum bullion. The platinum American Eagle coin is available in 1/10 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/2 oz and 1 oz sizes, however the mos popular size is the 1 Oz platinum Eagle.
The American Buffalo Coin was only released in gold, and only in the 1 Ounce size. However, unlike the Eagle series, all gold Buffalo coins contain 99.99 pure investment grade gold bullion. It is the first and only 24 Karate gold bullion coin issued by the US Mint. The front of each coin features the portrait of a Native American Indian Chief - the design of the coin is modeled after the original American Indian Head Nickel, which was originally issued in 1913.
The reverse of the coin features an image of an American Bison, or Buffalo. All gold American Buffalo coins have a face value of $50 USD. Amerian Buffalo gold bullion coins are sold sealed in plastic sheets of 20 pieces.
For clients interested in purchasing any US Mint products, including the American Eagle coin in gold, silver or platinum, and the American Buffalo coin in gold, these coins are directly available from SuisseGold.ch. Via Suisse Gold you may pay for your order in any of 15 currencies, including Euros, US Dollars, Swiss Francs and Pounds Sterling. SuisseGold.ch also accepts payment in several cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin and Ripple. Any client may place orders for US Mint issued products for delivery or for vault storage.

Christian rehabilitation facilities often have the tendency to cover one aspect that nonreligious rehabilitation facilities don't. There's a spiritual side to everyone and in some cases the dependency to alcohol is often to deal with that vacuum that we feel within. That is as real as it can get.
In checking into a Christian rehabilitation center, you 'd not only get assistance to combat your addiction but you will also discover people of the very same faith combating their own inner devils.
It's much better to wrestle with alcohol addiction with support and aid of friends and family along with your counterparts at a Christian rehab center as opposed to handling it on your own.
Furthermore, the focus is not simply your physical well-being but likewise your spiritual well-being. Simply puts, a Christian alcohol rehabilitation center will help you to find your faith in Christ – making the process of recovery total.
South Dakota Directory Of Drug Rehab And Alcohol Treatment Facilities.
South Dakota Treatment Centers is an online directory of over 100 Treatment Centers in South Dakota for addiction and eating disorder treatment.
SD Drug Rehab, alcohol rehab programs are addiction treatment centers with exceptional care to treat addiction, also serving Rapid City, SD.
Ideally speaking, the very best type of rehabilitation center ought to make the patient feel as if they're right in the house. Apart from all the normal features that is considered modern-day living, providing those combating with alcohol addiction to mingle and show on their experiences with fellow patients is a technique that must work. Yes, this remains in addition to the routine alcohol detox programs that are offered at nonreligious facilities too.
As the majority of alcohol addicts who visit a Christian rehab center wind up being a true blessing to other individuals dealing with the exact same issues, this may not always be the result with rehabilitation centers somewhere else.
Put simply, we wish to believe that it's the faith-based healing programs that makes the distinction and not just the facilities themselves.


A website can better be explained as a collection of individual documents prepared with the help of text, colors, graphics, and these factors are formatted together to build a complete user experience. A comprehensive term for the work involved in building a site for personal or private connection is known to be web development.
In the recent times, it refers to the creation of Content Management System or CMS. You need not have a robust technical knowledge in order to avail the prime benefit of CMS, which allows even a non-technical person to build a site effectively.

Your website is believed to be the prime potential point, with a huge section of 81% of shoppers who intend to conduct an online research before buying a product and the number of client reaches to 94% when they in the B2B market.
Creating an impression must be considered while communicating with your potential customers. The trick to creating a unique design for your website is to consider not overloading your homepage with irrelevant content and stick to the text limit of 120 words.
In order to make a website optimal for any device that your visitor might be using, it should be kept simple and clean. The use of features like Flash Animation and navigation which are designed for large monitors should be avoided.
A content that has no efficiency to keep the visitors engrossed can ruin the traffic of your site. The importance of well-written subheads or headlines should be regarded, as it is this powerful factor which enables the visitors to choose between reading and leaving the website.

Lionfish facts
The Lion Fish
The Indo Pacific Lion fish (Pterois volitans) is a predatory, venomous fish which has been introduced as an invasive species in the Atlantic Basin. The exotic looking fish is known for its reddish brown and white banding patters that run vertically along its body and the 13 venomous spines that run along the length of the fish. This invasive carnivore can significantly reduce biodiversity of a local habitat and can drive important fish species to extinction, negatively affecting coral reef ecosystems. The fish also poses a risk to the health of the Bonaire National Marine Park users as the species possesses venomous dorsal, anal, and pelvic spines that can inflict a painful sting that may result in serious health complications.
Lion Fish: the new curse of the reefs
HOW DID THEY GET INTO THE ATLANTIC BASIN?
The first lion fish was recorded off of the coast of West Palm Beach in 1992 and was possibly released through the aquarium trade (USGS 2002). Since then the species has continuously migrated north reaching as far north as Long Island, New York and as far east as Bermuda (USGS 2002). Lion fish have also been reported in the Bahamas and south along the Caribbean coasts of Mexico, Costa Rica, Honduras, Venezuela, and Colombia (USGS 2002).

Abstract: We study the importance of the extended family – or the dynasty – for the persistence in human capital inequality across generations. We use data including the entire Swedish population, linking four generations. This data structure enables us to – in addition to parents, grandparents and great grandparents – identify parents' siblings and cousins, as well as their spouses, and the spouses' siblings. We introduce and estimate a new parameter, which we call the intergenerational transmission of dynastic inequality. This parameter measures the between-dynasty variation in intergenerational transmission of human capital. We use three different measures of human capital: years of schooling, family income and an index of occupational status. Our results show that traditional parent-child estimates miss about half of the persistence across generations estimated by the extended model.


Dear UNESCO, Afghanistan had suffered decades of war, conflict and political instability. Afghans not only have lost countless lives, homes, families and friends, but have also lost their identities, their languages and most importantly have lost 5000 years of cultural values and heritages. Due to the countless decades of Afghans being caught up with such inner problems, non-Afghans and foreign writers have written and produced a lot of work about Afghanistan, for Afghanistan, in Afghanistan, but unfortunately most did not define the authentic Afghans, Afghanistan and Afghan culture. Our culture has been washed and manipulated by so many outside sources, that we must fight to preserve the good in our history, art and literature. We can not afford any more loss... Afghans around the world will stand today to stop UNESCO from registering Maulana Jalal ad-din Muhammad Balkhi's masterpiece Masnavi Ma'anawi from being identified as joint intellectual heritage of Turkey and Iran. Maulana belongs to the entire humanity. He represents the shared legacy of all Persian speaking nations in the region. He belongs to a great culture and civilisation that extended from Asia to Middle east and beyond .... He was born in Balkh former " Mother of Cities, Umulbelad'' and his personality was shaped during his travels across the region before going to Qonia. He belongs to all of us. He indeed rose from this heartland that was once called Khorasan and its called Afganistan today. He represents our heritage. He belongs to everywhere and nowhere, according to himself, but if he were to belong to anywhere, he would indeed belong to Balkh first, to present day Afghanistan. If Maulana cannot ignore his own birthplace and his motherland, how could we possibly give ourselves the permission to do that. So never drop Afghanistan as this will be a disservice to the same cause that you want to pursue and preserve. Afghanistan will carry his legacy for the rest of history. Please stop recognizing him as Iranian-Turkish elite, he would have belonged to the heritage of what's known as modern day Afghanistan. His Masnavi is foremost Afghanistan's heritage but also that of the world. We can not allow the stripping of our culture to continue any further. Thank you, Afghans around the world.
Maryam Sediqi needs your help with "Dear UNESCO, Rumi belongs to Afghanistan". Join Maryam and 6,213 supporters today.

Wisconsin Published 11:00 p.m. CT July 3, 2014 | Updated 11:08 p.m. CT July 3, 2014
Everyone is invited out to the Sevastopol town park in Institute on Thursday for the Northern Door Legion's annual fish fry. Serving begins at 4:30 p.m. and will include all-you-can-eat fresh caught fried whitefish plus potatoes, coleslaw, rye bread, dessert, coffee and lemonade. Jeff Weborg and his crew will be manning the fryers.
Stroll over to the ball field for the evening's doubleheader baseball as the Chiefs take on Wrightstown at 5:30 p.m. and Sturgeon Bay at 8 p.m. Refreshments and snacks will be available from the concession stand during the games.
A special thank you to all the volunteers who have made this event a success over the years.
Reminder on Water Testing
All water samples need to be drawn and turned in to the town office between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Monday.
The bottles will be refrigerated and then transported to the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point on Tuesday. If you have any questions, please call the clerk at (920) 746-1230.
Youngsters with baseball spirit
The wrap-up of T-ball league at the town park and family starts at 6 p.m. Wednesday. Friends and neighbors are invited to cheer on youngsters as they learn the fundamentals of baseball.
Tara LeClair had 29 incoming Sevastopol kindergartners and 15 incoming 4-K'ers registered for this season's six-week league. Tara says, "We teach the kids the very basics of baseball all the way down to how to put a glove on! Each practice night, we break the kids into small groups and have stations set up for them around the field. One for hitting, one for throwing, one for fielding and one for catching." They are encouraged to develop proper techniques and learn good sportsmanship.
On Wednesday, there will be a scrimmage between teams, with kids learning how to run the bases and field in a live situation. Tara reports that it is a lot of fun for the kids, but sometimes the parents and grandparents in the peanut gallery seem to be having the most fun!
Contact Linda Wait at (920) 743-6884 or ldwait@itol.com.

Reconciliation and Reparation Book Announcement
by Morehouse School of Religion | Apr 4, 2018 | News
Effective twenty-first-century preaching is prophetic when it addresses closing the income and wealth gap.
In the face of growing inequities in the United States and global economies, Rev. Dr. Joseph Evans, Dean of Morehouse University School of Religion, has issued a clarion call to preachers to disturb the status quo and cause meaningful, thoughtful conversations about a species of biblical preaching that envisions economic justice as the ethical imperative for the twenty-first century, particularly for people of African descent.
The book is written from a preacher's perspective, grounded in solid scholarship, this volume asserts an ethical imperative for economic justice and what this means for the twenty-first-century church and those who preach in prophetic pulpits around the world.

Nitric oxide (NO) is a messenger molecule that functions as a vasodilator and accounts for the biologic activity of endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF). The enzyme responsible for NO production, NO synthase (NOS), exists in different isoforms. Some are expressed constitutively in various tissues, whereas others require induction by endotoxin and cytokines. There is evidence that NO plays an important role in the regulation of basal renal vascular resistance and in the tubuloglomerular feedback response. Specific antibodies to a constitutive NOS isolated from rat brain (B-NOS) and an inducible NOS isolated from rat aortic smooth muscle (VSM-NOS) were used to establish the cellular and subcellular distribution of NOS in the kidney. Kidneys from normal rats were preserved and processed for light and electron microscopic immunohistochemical studies using both a preembedding and a postembedding horseradish peroxidase technique. By light microscopy, strong immunostaining for B-NOS was observed in the juxtaglomerular apparatus, where it was located in cells of the macula densa. In contrast, immunostaining for VSM-NOS was specifically located in the terminal afferent arteriole and occasionally also in the initial efferent arteriole in the juxtaglomerular apparatus. In addition, faint immunostaining was present in the entire distal tubule. There was no labeling of arcuate or interlobular arteries. The injection of lipopolysaccharide was associated with increased immunostaining for VSM-NOS in the afferent arteriole but had no effect on B-NOS staining. By electron microscopy, B-NOS immunostaining was present throughout the cytoplasm of the macula densa cells, where it appeared to be associated mainly with small vesicles. Immunostaining for VSM-NOS in the afferent arteriole exhibited a patchy distribution in some cells, whereas other cells were stained throughout the cytoplasm. These results indicate that two distinct isoforms of NOS are present in the juxtaglomerular apparatus and support the hypothesis that NOS is involved in the regulation of tubuloglomerular feedback and glomerular capillary pressure.

It was entirely appropriate that on 1 July 2016, the 100th anniversary of the start of the Battle of the Somme, Welsh National Opera should bring their staging of Iain Bell's new opera In Parenthesis to Covent Garden. The opera sets a libretto by David Antrobus and Emma Jenkins based on David Jones' great poetic World War One memoir In Parenthesis, which mixes realistic detail with a vein of mysticism. Conducted by Carlo Rizzi, directed by David Pountney and designed Robert Innes Hopkins, with Andrew Bidlack, Peter Coleman-Wright, Alexandra Deshorties, George Humphreys, Marcus Farnsworth, Mark le Brocq, Donald Maxwell, Joe Roche, Martin Lloyd, Simon Crosby Buttle and Graham Clark.
In an article in the programme book David Antrobus and Emma Jenkins talk about their adaptation of Jones' poem, saying that "David Jones' text is so musical, so mellifluous, so evocative of a textured soundscape that we were convinced this would be a gift to any composer'. Frankly this rang alarm bells even before I had heard a note of music and seemed a long way from the comments by Martin Crimp (librettist of George Benjamin's two operas) about the libretto having something missing so that it leaves space for the music.
The opera opens with an act of remembrance, as the bard of Britannia (Peter Coleman-Wright) and bard of Germania (Alexandra Deshorties) with a female chorus of remembrance, contemplate what has happened, 'the many men so beautiful' who died. Iain Bell has gone to some trouble to write lyrically impassioned music, using the large orchestra to create a richly textured support for lovely lines for the singers but there seemed just too much text. It came over as rather wordy (and the words did not really come over, we had to rely on the surtitles).
More than this, the two characters of the bards (he dressed as a padre she as an Edwardian lady) worried me.
The idea comes from one of David Jones' paintings, not from his In Parenthesis and throughout the action the two bards placed themselves between the main action and us, guiding it and interpreting it to us. This role was amplified by the female chorus (also dressed in sub-Edwardian lady clothes). I found this effect a bit too distancing and felt that it was something of a cop-out on the part of the librettists, almost saying that David Jones' poem was untranslatable into an operatic dramatic genre (probably true) and that something new needed to be invented.
The main action interweaves the events leading up to the Somme from the point of view of Private John Ball (Andrew Bidlack), a young recruit to the Royal Welch Fusiliers. We had realistic soldiery with lots of demotic from the troops (a strong ensemble with George Humphreys as Lieutenant Jenkins, Marcus Farnsworth as Lance Corporal Lewis, Marc le Broq as Sergeant Snell, Donald Maxwell as Dai Greatcoat, Joe Roche as Private Watcyn, Martin Lloyd as Private Wastebottom, Simon Crosby Buttle as Runner and Graham Clark as the Marne Sergeant), which Bell enlivened with humour, hymns, fanfares, marches and Welsh songs. For me, one of the most moving moments in the opera was when the men break into the Welsh folk-song 'Sosban fach'.
But threading through this realism was Private Ball's tendency to go into mystical transports, linking the action in the trenches to past history, Welsh epics such as 'Y Gododdin' and even Uther Pendragon makes a brief appearance. Bidlack was brilliant in the intense solos which Bell had written for him. Bidlack is a young American lyric tenor and the contrarian in me thought it a shame that for WNO's 70th anniversary celebrations a young Welsh tenor could not have been found. You sensed that the music took Bidlack to his limits, but was completely unstinting and wonderfully intense in these mystical moments, whilst delightfully hopeless in real life. Even here, you were aware of the sheer strength of David Jones' words which threatened to overpower the music.
When Mametz Wood was reached in the second act, then things rather took off. There was more space for Iain Bell's music as he needed to describe and evoke the terrible events of the battle for Mametz Wood, entwined with the sense of the mystic as the Queen of the Wood (Alexandra Deshorties) and the chorus of Dryads brought death and destruction to the men. At the end, Iain Bell's music did fine justice to David Jones' strange mystical vision of the Queen of the Wood garlanding the dead men with flowers and greenery, bringing regeneration.
But this scene also emphasised the strangeness of David Pountney and Robert Innes Hopkins' decision to keep the visual world within the sub-Edwardian style of the period. The female chorus came out dressed in long period dresses and great picture hats covered with flowers, and it was these hats which were laid on the men almost as wreaths. Simply I wanted a greater sense of other-ness and less cosy sub-Edwardian conventionality.
The opera received a strong performance from all concerned. Though the male soloists in the troop each got their solo moment, it was very much as an ensemble that we perceived them and they created a strong feel, so much so that it took some time for me to identify the different soloists. Alexandra Deshorties really came into her own on Act Two when, as the Queen of the Wood, Iain Bell wrote some fearful coloratura which was brilliantly delivered.
Carlo Rizzi presided in the pit with a great sense of control and style, bringing out the rich textures of Iain Bell's score. As ever the WNO chorus delivered a strong performance, and it was good to see the way Bell had deliberately written the opera to give opportunities to both the women's and men's choruses, opportunities that were brilliantly taken.
Overall, I was more struck by the problems inherent in adapting David Jones' poem and the idiosyncrasies of David Pountney's staging to really get to grips with Iain Bell's score. Luckily it is being broadcast on BBC Radio 3 tonight (2 July 2016) and so will be available on listen again to help us to appreciate its considerable beauties. It is also possible to watch it on The Opera Platform website.
Tying works of art to particular anniversaries is a tricky thing. I feel that Iain Bell's opera would benefit from further outings, different productions but worry that this will not happen because it is so linked the commemorations for 1 July 2016.

It's been about a year since I last looked at craft beer packaging. Since that point, a lot has changed. The biggest shift has been the continued increase in share by cans. Although bottles still remain the majority of packaging for craft brewers, as the chart below shows, can volumes, and their share of craft sales, have continued to rise on a fairly consistent basis over the past few years. All scan data presented in this piece is IRI Group scan data for BA-defined craft across the total U.S. and for their broadest channel (as always, caveats apply about using scan data).
Based on the 2016 Brewery Operations and Benchmarking Survey, I estimate that craft brewer production volumes are roughly 41.4% draught (either kegged or via brite tank) versus 58.6% packaged. Cans rose to 16.7% of total craft production, against 41.9% for bottles, meaning that cans are 28.5% of packaged production. Scan was a bit less bullish on cans, and had the percentage at 24.5% of scan packaging in 2016. Keep in mind that scan over-indexes on regional craft brewers, who tend to have a higher percentage of bottles in their packaging mix, so the actual percentage may have been closer to the surveyed figure. With another year of growth, the 2017 scan figures are actually a bit higher than the benchmarking results, with cans representing 30.9% of packaged volume in 2017 (through 12.24.17). If we use the same draught/packaged breakdown from benchmarking, that would make cans ~18 share of overall craft production.
In scan, we can attribute the growth in cans primarily to two things: shifting mix within breweries and patterns of growth, where breweries that have higher can share are growing faster than those with lower share. This is almost entirely a size effect, where smaller brewers tend to be growing faster.
Looking at 2017 data YTD through 12.24.17 versus the previous year, cans added 6.2 million incremental case equivalents (CEs) to BA craft in scan (from 20.5M CEs to 26.7M CEs). This growth was roughly split from brewery growth (breweries grew, and so even if their packaging mix was constant, cans would have grown) and shifting packaging mix (independent of growth). Here's a visual breakdown. This also shows an interaction effect (breweries growing and changing) and the new can volume from completely new breweries.
This is an overly simplistic view, since there could be different things going on at the brand level, but it shows that the overall growth in cans isn't just a shift in what brewers are using. If that was all that was going on, can growth would have been half of what it was. Which brewers are growing, and their packaging mix, is also really important. As hinted at earlier, this is basically a size effect.
The table below breaks down craft brewers by size (2016 scan volume). It shows their share in 2016, their 2017 growth, their can % in 2016, and then the shift in can percentage points (for the collective size group) from 2016 to 2017.
You can quickly see how a growth effect based on size comes about. Smaller brewers tended to be more heavily in cans in 2016, grew faster in 2017, and shifted more heavily toward cans in 2017.
This means that craft would have seen a shift toward cans even if no one changed their packaging decisions at all, simply based on the fact that smaller, more can-heavy brewers were on average growing faster than brewers a notch or two larger.
In fact, most brewers didn't change a thing in their packaging mix. Here's a histogram of the changes in brewers' packaging mix, shown in terms of the net change of can %. Around two-thirds of brewers (65.9%) didn't change a thing in 2017 versus 2016, and the vast majority (88.2%) saw their can percentage stay within +/-10% of where it was in 2016.
In fact, most brewers didn't change their packaging at all.

Why didn't they just add Skewness to the list of statistics that are allowed in a PROC REPORT?

Q: Assigning pandas selection to a variable and then modifying it I am trying to select some rows from a pandas dataframe and store the subset/selection into a variable so I can perform multiple operations on this subset (including modification) without having to do the selection again. But I don't quite understand why it doesn't work.
For example, this doesn't work as expected (the original df doesn't get modified):
df = pd.DataFrame({"a":list(range(1,3))})
subDf = df.loc[df.a==2,:]
subDf.loc[:,"a"] = -1  # also throws SettingWithCopyWarning
# ... do more stuff with subDf...

But, this works as expected:
df = pd.DataFrame({"a":list(range(1,3))})
mask = (df.a==2)
df.loc[mask,"a"] = -1

After reading the pandas docs on indexing view vs copy, I was under the impression that selecting via .loc will return a view, but apparently that's not the case given the SettingWithCopyWarning. What am I misunderstanding here?

A: In subDf = df.loc[df.a==2,:] the method you are using is actually __getitem__ (df.loc.__getitem__) which is not guaranteed to return a view. When you assign something to loc (for example df.loc[mask,"a"] = -1) you are actually calling __setitem__ (df.loc.__setitem__). Here, since it has to assign a value to that slice, it is guaranteed to be a view.


I work from home, so I'm able to make stuff like this at lunch time….I think a packed tomato sandwich would probably get a bit soggy. Local tomatoes, watercress and a little mayo on whole wheat bread with oriental cucumbers sliced into some apple cider vinegar with salt and pepper. That is a certified southern summer staple, right there. What do you love for lunch in the summer?


People are different and children even more so. I agree, that it is good advice - the point about reviews and acting on your mistakes is spot on. I am pretty sure, however, with a set of 100 problems I would know the problems by heart soon ("solving at a glance") instead of actually solving them.
Well, he did point out that "at a glance" is reading quicker, not knowing the problem by heart (he said to always read problems in the games even if you do know them by heart).
