Electronic monitoring (EM) consisting of on-board video imagery and on-shore analysis, offers an alternative or supplement to at-sea observer programs in commercial fisheries. In the western and central Pacific Ocean (WCPO), where observer coverage in most tuna longline fisheries has historically been < 5%, the advent of EM has been perceived as a tool for meeting international data collection and exchange obligations. However, the capability of EM to collect and support interpretation of records into data for all fields currently collected by at-sea observers is still under assessment. We use the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC) as a case-study to evaluate the longline WCPFC regional observer programme minimum standard data fields, their current scientific application, the proportion of member countries exchanging data and the capability of EM technology to collect these fields. We identify that 78% of the longline fields can be collected with current EM technology, with 84% of these used in scientific analyses. For the 16% of fields not routinely used in scientific analyses, the introduction of EM may facilitate a sufficient increase in data availability to support their future use. Alternative tools would be required to collect fields that EM could not record to ensure data continuity and scientific rigour are not compromised. In examining the capability of EM in the context of WCPFC member state requirements under international law, we advocate for a holistic and integrated approach to the use of EM in future research and monitoring programs in both the WCPO and global longline fisheries.

Gabriel Chavarria cast as lead human in 'War of the Planet of the Apes'
Fox's new Planet of the Apes prequel series is adding cast for the upcoming War of the Planet of the Apes, the third film in the new series of films.
East Los High actor Gabriel Chavarria has just been cast in the film as one of the human leads for the new film. Director Matt Reeves will be back for this film with Andy Serkis reprising his motion capture ape leader Caesar.
Chavarria is best known as the lead of Hulu's original teen drama East Los High.
"In Low Riders, from Imagine and Blumhouse, he plays an East LA teen immersed in the world of lowrider cars and street tagging while caught between his traditional father (Demian Bichir) and his estranged gangbanger brother, who both are competing in the annual lowrider Supershow. His other recent credits include Aquarius, Prime Suspect, Southland and the feature Teacher Of The Year," Deadline reports.
While the plotline for War of the Planet of the Apes is being kept under wraps, Reeves has stated this about where the story is headed.
As this story continues, we know that war is not avoided by the end of DAWN. That is going to take us into the world of what he is grappling with. Where he is going to be thrust into circumstances that he never, ever wanted to deal with, and was hoping he could avoid. And now he is right in the middle of it. The things that happen in that story test him in huge ways, in the ways in which his relationship with Koba haunts him deeply. It's going to be an epic story. I think you've probably read that I sort of described it where in the first film was very much about his rise from humble beginnings to being a revolutionary. The second movie was about having to rise to the challenge of being a great leader in the most difficult of times. This is going to be the story that is going to cement his status as a seminal figure in ape history, and sort of leads to an almost biblical status. He is going to become like a mythic ape figure, like Moses.
War of the Planet of the Apes starts shooting in Vancouver this October for release on July 14, 2017.

What is logistics?
You are here: Home1 / What is logistics?
Logistics is an industry that people often associate with trucks, pallets, and warehouses. Throughout National Lorry Week we hope to help people appreciate the varied roles, responsibilities and unique opportunities that logistics brings to our economy. It's an exciting sector and the lifeblood of business and every day life in the UK.
Logistics explained
Logistics is the industry which manages how resources are acquired, stored, and transported to their final destination.
Virtually everything we buy or use has been handled by a number of people – from the producer; to the port staff unloading food from a container, ferry or train, to the trucker; to the warehouse operative; to the transport manager; to the van driver and many others in between. But the logistics journey doesn't end there. Once we've finished with our goods there's the recycling and waste management process staffed by vast chain of logistics professionals – many of course developing smarter and more sustainable ways of bringing that material back into production as goods and energy.
There are countless roles which support the logistics process and we'll be finding out much more about them in the lead up to National Lorry Week.
What is the value of the industry?
The logistics industry is worth £124bn to the UK economy, but its true value is the role it plays making sure we get everything we need – it's fundamental to our way of life. Without logistics we get nothing.
How the RHA helps the industry
We bring more than 75 years' industry expertise and campaigning experience to our members and the wider logistics sector. We're a hugely influential voice working with government and local authorities to win the best deal for our members.
We champion the highest standards amongst firms and their workforces, promoting the safest and most sustainable practices, and embracing innovation across our industry.

Late last week, Romanian women's handball teams boasted two notable achievements. CSM Bucharest on Sunday qualified for the Champions League Final Four tournament, despite losing the away game played against the French side Metz, 20-27. In the first leg, CSM Bucharest had won 34-21. The other three teams qualified to the Final Four are Gyor of Hungary, Vardar Skopje of Macedonia and Russia's Rostov-Don. The draw for the semi-finals will take place on April 17 in Budapest.
The other notable achievement was the qualification of SCM Craiova to the EHF Cup finals. The Romanian club drew 18-all at home in the second leg of the semi-finals against Turkish side Kastamonu. A week ago, Craiova had won 23-22 away from home. In the final game Craiova will take on Vipers Kristiansand of Norway, which in the semis ousted Viborg of Denmark 29-23 in Saturday's return leg and 31-34 in last week's first leg.
Romanian tennis player Ana Bogdan reached the semi-finals of the WTA tournament in Bogota, Columbia, totaling some 226 thousand dollars in prize money. The Romanian lost however to Anna Karolina Schmiedlova of Slovakia in the semis, 6-3, 6-2. This was the second consecutive semi-final for Bogdan in the WTA circuit after the one played last week in Monterrey, Mexico.
In other news from tennis, let us note that Irina Maria Bara lost Sunday's finals in the ITF tournament hosted by Indian Harbour Beach, Florida, United States, with 60,000 dollars in prize money. The Romanian lost to local favourite Caroline Dolehide, 6-4, 7-5. Irina Maria Bara however won the doubles event alongside Silvia Soler-Espinosa of Spain, outplaying the all-American pair Jessica Pegula / Maria Sanchez in the final, 6-4, 6-2.
We end with news from football. This weekend saw a new round of the Romanian First League's group phase. In Group 1, on Saturday, Universitatea Craivoa defeated Poli Iasi 4-1 at home, while on Sunday CFR Cluj grabbed a 2-1 away win over Viitorul Constanta. In Group 2, on Friday, Dinamo Bucharest won 4-2 against FC Voluntari. On Saturday, Sepsi Sfantu Gheorghe defeated Gaz Metan Medias 2-1 on home turf, while on Sunday Concordia Chiajna won 2-1 against Juventus Bucharest.

Calling All Ugly Dogs to Wine Country
Published June 13, 2009 • Updated on June 22, 2009 at 11:21 am
Things are gonna get ugly at Copperfield's books in Napa this weekend.
Princess Chelsea, a Chinese Crested, winner of Animal Planet's Ugliest Dog in the World contest, will be at a book launch for author Hillary Homzie's tween novel, "Things are Gonna Get Ugly."
Devotees of the novel are expected to dress in their ugliest best for Princess Chelsea's appearance between 2 and 4 p.m.
Group at All-Girls High School in SJ Inspired by Kamala Harris Inauguration

The Simon Schuster novel is about a popular 13-year-old girl who learns the true meaning of beauty when she is transformed into a nerd.
"Beauty definitely comes from within and Princess Chelsea is an example of that," Homzie said in a news release.
The Ugliest Dog in the World is owned by Rob and Becky Rond of Fairfield. Princess Chelsea had tumors removed from her legs and is blind in both eyes.
Her owners said Princess Chelsea is very loving and is oblivious to her celerity but enjoys being carried around like the princess that she is.
She has appeared on the Rachel Ray and David Letterman television shows and has been photographed by Life Magazine.
The book launch is open to the public and will feature ugly refreshments and treats and an ugly contest.
Copperfield's Books is located at 3900 Bel Aire Plaza, Suite A.

anyone up for some break-core/trance/industrial-noise/trad-irish?
i bet your curious though?
yeah i thought so.
*disclamer*
this was about an hours work, the primary goal was to create a congruent 'sonic sketch' with the rhythmic parts reacting correctly to the melody (swinging on the gate), the harmony (synth) was added as an afterthought as a checkpoint to make sure i can harmonise ITM using my existing skillset, - as such there is very little arrangment/structural composition in this track and given more time it could all be a lot tighter and more innovative.... wether or not i give it more time is another matter
http://www.box.net/shared/43k81ta009
i hope you enjoy it, but i wont be offended if you dont, and either way i would like your thoughts and reactions once the initial rage has boiled off

Post subject: Re: This Is Industrial Folk
I think this is good fodder for discussion.
It's very easy to dismiss your clip out of hand, but in the spirit of glass houses and all that let me first reveal that while I am an exponent of the Pure Drop, at the same time, depending on circumstances, I am also a tried and convicted accomplice at playing pretty fast and loose with it, myself.
My main discomfort with the track is that the backing to the tune doesn't refer to the tune's basic rhythmic form. You could wiggle-boogie in some absent way to it, but not dance a reel. This is where the call of the traditional will not let me go.
It all comes down to what one's intent is. Basically speaking, your track doesn't pass the "gateway drug" test for me. I guess that's what my standard is for trammelling the Pure Drop. But, nothing ventured, nothing gained. As I always say: really, you have to try, and hear, to know whether it's gonna work or not.
Make me want to dance. REALLY dance. Even if it's not a reel.
"Time is the wisest counselor of all." - Pericles
"I remain not entirely convinced of it." - Nano
all good points; and i must admit the majority of my exposute to folk is 'pure drop', i just have this big stockpile of synthisisers and skills from what seems like another life and i have been meaning to show one to the other for quite some time.
this i suppose is the first step, its technically correct - the electronics are in the same time and key as the whistle tune but, this kind of thing is like doing up a zip, you start with only a few points of contact and as you progress you add more and more until you have a compleet unit... what i would hope for is not so much a 'this track is great' but a 'this track showes potential'
definatly pulling more rhythmic elements from the tune into the rhythm is a good starting point for improvment... getting rid of the tackey synth noise might also help.
given that no one has banned me, ill assume its bad but not 'deadly sin' bad
*edit* id also love to know if anyone has herd anyone doing anything similar

I know a fellow who does the same stuff, some of it brilliant, some hilarious, some ho-hum, some disbalanced, and some downright irritating. The irritating stuff sounds like he's taking the music and purposefully making an insult to it, and I think there's no call for that. But then I would, wouldn't I.
One of his efforts included Harvest Home (don't recall the main instrument, but let's say it was a whistle) overlaid with an overbearingly topheavy skippityskippityTHUMP that was nothing so much as a musical impression of risking a trampling by dancing orc-hippos and made me feel as if I was going to topple over. My point is that it did not enhance the tune; the tune was merely incidental to the effect. His point was that he was simply amusing himself, and that was sufficient for him. He and I will never see eye-to-eye on this particular track, I fear.
so i need to add the arrangment to the melody, not add the melody to the arrangment.
I can't tell you what to do! All I can do is come from my own taste, but, yes, that's what I use as my guideline when I'm arranging: the tune is supreme, and I am in service to it. Now, that service may earn me only vilification for my trouble, but at least I see my functional position as correct and in order IF my intent is to refer to the tradition at all. But please note that that's just me.

I enjoyed this. I got a definite visual image of someone playing a whistle at a disco club where they scratch those records and then gun fire breaks out and the whistle player keeps playing without missing a beat. I wanted him to hold and sway some of those notes like he was dodging gunfire or shot glasses. He's a bit too Zen.
Rose tint my world. Keep me safe from my trouble and pain.

Stuff like that has been done before, back in the 90ies! Check some of the later albums of the very unfortunately late Scottish Piper&Fiddler Martyn Bennet! There's nothing new under the sun...

ace tip-off, this guy has some skill.
thats said the 'everything has been done before' argument is very very damaging, nothing else is so capable of insuring that nothing new gets done, its defeatism and its bad philosophy.
The 90s? You make a decade sound hoary with age. I thought it was the Yanks that had short attention spans. Gimme me something from the 70s, and we'll talk.
Ah, Martyn Bennett. At the end of his career (and too-young life) he went off in directions others in Trad circles found hard to accept; his treatment of Oran nam Mogaisean, while I get the concept, is hard for me to listen to (from about 1/3 of the way through the track). Still, the rhythm and extranea work from the tune (well, for the most part, admittedly ). By the way, that's his mother, Margaret Bennett, singing. She is a prodigious collector of old Canadian Gaelic music in the Maritimes, and without her, this otherwise obscure material from a rich tradition might be lost to us.
Here's a track vid, though, of Deoch an Dorus, part 2, that also fuses the modern with the traditional in a less challenging manner than Oran nam Mogaisean, and while it appears to bring the traditional into the modern, by another token the modern refers directly to the traditional in supporting the tune-as-ground-of-all. In the end it's not to my taste, but nevertheless I think it's well done, and the roots aren't lost.
Here's another vid of Bennett playing MacCrimmon's Lament followed by a couple of strathspeys and a rant (maybe?), strictly Pure Drop smallpipes, that I think demonstrates where he was coming from and why he was arguably in a position, at the end, to go where he did with it whether it was my or anyone else's cup of tea or not.
I have to agree. Better you should acknowledge what's been done, take it, and go further.

To me, Martyn Bennet's music is nothing but a logical evolution of trad music... That's why I enjoy it so much...

I believe it can be done. The fusion of both the modern Industrial characteristics (rhythmic glitches and dark ambient) over traditional instrumentation or melody. But, one can't just put a loop over a whistle track (I recognize the first drum loop from one of the Acid Pro samples). The beat needs to compliment that melody (in the same sense a Bodhran needs to compliment the melody) and the tempo shouldn't have a big rhythmic contrast (if the tempo of the melody is ~80 BPM, the glitched drums shouldn't be ~160. Sure it'll match, but it won't sound natural)... essentially, the drums and synth has to be programmed from scratch for the melody/song you're trying to fuse.
The easiest exercise to fuse both Trad/Folk and Industrial would probably be with an air or slow-tempo melody.

To showcase the best of what the UK has to offer, the investors were given tours of London-based games studios including Dream Reality Interactive, Flavourworks, NaturalMotion Games, The Secret Police and Spirit AI.
Part of the trip involved pitches from UK games companies including A Brave Plan Ltd, Antstream, Feature Games and Project M. The investors were excited by the quality of the projects and the insight the experience gave them into the ways that games are made in the UK, whether developed in individual, co-working or larger-scale spaces.
All the delegates had identified potential investment opportunities by the time they left, heading back to the States with a strong idea of the UK's unique creative offer.
Signs for the UK games economy look promising, with the US delegates observing that recent trends in foreign investment indicate a healthy, thriving economy. Looking ahead at the growing market trends in games, interactive entertainment, new platforms and engagement figures, we're excited to see how it all plays out.

Poetry Review Spring 2012 – Mattson
Mike Barlow reviews Finns and Amazons - a new collection by Nancy Mattson
Finns and Amazons by Nancy Mattson,
116 pp, £8.99, Arrowhead Press, 70 Clifton Road,
Darlington, Co Durham, DL1 5DX.
History Gets Personal
That moment in a gallery
when a painting beckons you
to enter it unlocks
the door to a hidden parlour
that moment in a room of strangers
So starts 'Simultaneity I', the first poem in this multi-faceted collection. In describing a Pandora's box of memory and association, the surprise and sense of connection here mirrors the nature of the book. This is a body of work both thematically cohesive and rich in formal and narrative variety, a book I've found it easy to enjoy but hard to review – the closer you read the more there is to consider.
Nancy Mattson is a Canadian of Finnish extraction who now lives in London. Identity and belonging have been key themes in her previous work and here she expands on them. The core focus is not so much Canada as Karelia, the border area between Russia and Finland, and the fate of a great aunt, Lisi Hirvonen, who left Canada for Karelia to join in the building of a communist utopia there. In this personal mission following the trail laid by a bundle of Lisi's letters to her sister, the poet fills the gaps in specific knowledge and direct experience by research, imagination and empathy. The result is a book which pulls together the threads linking the generation of early C20th with the present.
The poet's enthusiasm and need to include the reader is evident in the introduction and explanatory notes. Although the actual undertaking is personal, the treatment of the subject matter makes it universal as, across the four separate sections of the book (sections which sometimes over-lap and often talk to one another) she weaves her tapestry. This is a book best read through sequentially at first, after which any amount of revisiting will reward, both for the writing itself and the assimilation of history.
At the outset the poet imagines her great aunt Lisi as the child subject of an early C20th painting of a rural Finnish girl. There is a nice symmetry here, in that the final poem of the book has the poet seeing herself in an old photo of a Soviet girl. The rest of this initial section, playfully titled 'Return to the Avant-garde', focuses on the world of early C20th Russian artists, and a particular group of women, the Amazons of the book's title. Nancy Mattson's enthusiasm for and engagement with the art of this era and her sympathy with the characters gives us vivid poems about their lives and pre-occupations. 'Boxers at an Exhibition' describes a fist fight between two male artists at an exhibition, a poem which really mixes it, starting:
In the materialist corner
we have Tatlin the slapdash
wearing red constructivist shorts.
and later, in the same poem, we meet Alexandra Exter, who
prises them apart. The crowd boos
but her oxblood pumps claim the floor
with a blinding shine.
'Translation squeezes meaning out of blood.' opens the second section, 'Loss', in which the underlying quest of the book emerges more clearly. Both Lisi and her sister, the poet's grandmother, appear in poems exploring language, identity and belonging. A poem about learning to pronounce a Cyrillic character manages to weave its way deftly and movingly towards an evocation of the lost Lisi. And we are introduced to the problem of interpreting the past, the turbulence of Soviet Russia under Stalin and the contradictions of an ideologically doctored version of history. How is one to find an imagined truth amongst all this:
Draw the steam iron over stalinist wrinkles, cover
sagging sofas of gulag survivors with velvet upholstery
Unpick and restitch the dangling bits of history, or snip them
clean off
('House and Garden Tips')
In 'Parsing the Ancestors', she evokes, among others, Tsvetaeva and Akhmatova to seek a true version of their times, but they cannot help and she ends up lamenting her own incapacity to be objective: I'm the one who altogether refuses Marx / but has an ignorant soft spot for Trotsky.
Two pages on she opens with:
Be prepared to fail, to unexpect
what gets you in the end.
The kaleidoscope's whirl
is full of empty glitter….
('Fields of Vision')
The third section, 'Letters', focuses on the great aunt Lisi's return to Karelia, and her fate pieced together and extrapolated from her letters. It was like leaving Eden for the hope of Eden, / this journey from new world to utopia.
The text of some of the actual letters is included throughout this section. As documentation they have a strong and authentic presence. Accompanying poems paraphrase, expand and comment on them, illuminating what is not said, alluding to historical realities, and revealing the poet's own attempts to understand and accommodate this distant relative.
Call me a capitalist rat. I've inherited your eye.
Call me an enemy hare. Even so we're blood.
('Belated Answer to a 1933 Letter, Believed Lost')
In some places, however, where the accompanying poems paraphrase the letters, the unpunctuated rawness of the letters can work against the polish of the poem.
There is something heartbreaking about the optimism of the early letters when set against the backdrop of what we now know about Stalinist Russia. The poems pick up on the underlying doubts and struggle, the hard life where the women run on needles/ the men walk on knife blades. Stalinist Russia, the official ideology, the disillusion, the censorship, the arbitrary purges, the knack of survival – The trick is to keep a straight face when everyone's laughing – all this hangs over the unknown fate of Lisi.
While 'Letters' tightens its grip on the narrative of the book, the final section, 'Legacy', is for me the most affecting. Here, as in the section 'Loss', we are frequently dealing with the poet herself, her reactions and reflections on her journey. Early C20th meets the present. Emotion and reason work together, stock is taken, limitations accepted:
what about fears none are written
what about the terror not one letter
from 1937 is in that chocolate box
you have to go elsewhere for poison
('Splice')
And we're reminded there's a price to pay for opening yourself up to history:
My bedclothes twist, the struggle lasts all night
I wake exhausted, ropes of sleep limp in the light.
('Karelian Pillows')
While the overall narrative of this collection is a serious matter, the writing is lively and inventive. Strong imagery, play, irony can be found amongst thoughtful and open-hearted writing. Although not afraid of formal contrivance, the tone throughout is authentic. That this has been a real journey of discovery for the poet is conveyed by the energy of the poems as they come off the page.
Mike Barlow won the National Poetry Competition in 2006. He has published three collections, the first of which Living on the Difference (Smith/Doorstop) was short-listed for the Jerwood Aldeburgh prize. A pamphlet, Amicable Numbers (Templar 2008) was a Poetry Book Society pamphlet choice. His latest collection Charmed Lives was published by Smith/Doorstop in spring 2012.

Pollokshields West Free Church on Shields Road on a snowy winter afternoon, photographed by Duncan Brown c 1880s.
The church was designed by McKissack & Rowan and built 1875-1879 in the classical Greek style popularised by Alexander "Greek" Thomson. The corner tower is probably modelled on the tower of St George's Tron in the city centre. Pollokshields West was subsequently a Church of Scotland and later still occupied by the Nithsdale Church Trust of the Plymouth Brethren.

Home News Ryan Schools Cowboys Set to Battle Snyder for Season Opener
Cowboys Set to Battle Snyder for Season Opener
The 99th season of high school football at Ryan is slated to begin tomorrow night (Friday) when the Snyder Cyclones invade the Bob Givens Sports Complex.
Kickoff for the season opener for both teams is set for 7:30 p.m.
This will be the earliest season opener in school history as the contest is part of Zero Week in high school football in Oklahoma.
Teams can elect to start the season one week early and forego a second scrimmage date. The advantage is teams that play during Zero Week will have a week off during the regular season.
Snyder ended the Cowboys' season a year ago at Ryan as the Cyclones took advantage of numerous Ryan turnovers to post a 38-8 victory.
It was the first year returning to the playoffs for Ryan after a two-year absence and the Cowboys of first-year head coach Tony Tomberlin are looking to improve on last season's 6-5 record.
Tomberlin will be taking over for long-time head coach Stan Mueggenborg after serving as an assistant for the veteran coach the past 12 years.
The outlook for the Cowboys for 2018 is guarded. The coaching staff faces the tall task of replacing six of eight starters on the defensive side of the ball.
However, quarterback Grayson Tomberlin returns for his sophomore campaign after starting all 11 games a year ago as a freshman.
Joining Tomberlin, last season's district newcomer of the year, in the backfield will be talented senior and all-district running back Skyler Parkhill.
Both players will give Ryan a solid nucleus from which to build on offense.
Tomberlin finished last season with 638 yards rushing and 12 touchdowns. He also threw for 731 yards on 44 completions and 12 touchdown passes.
Parkhill was the second leading rusher last season with 620 yards on 93 carries and five rushing touchdowns.
The Cowboys will feature a freshman in the backfield with Caleb Ferrin expected to start at the other running back position.
Kalen Weldon will return at one end for the Cowboys and Andrew Villerreal will move from the backfield to the other end position.
Two seniors, Sam Brown and Justin Williams, along with sophomore Trey Bryant will be counted on to try to open up running lanes for the backs and give Tomberlin time to find receivers.
The Cowboys will feature a bit more wide-open attack with more spread offense and implementing the pistol formation.
Defensively, things are a bit unsettled. Not only will there be six new starters, but coming out of last week's scrimmage, there are still some battles going on for starting positions.
Pacen Wiest and Bryant are battling for a starting role at nose guard and the defensive end positions are still up for grabs in the 3-2 defense.
The defense will need to mature quickly as Snyder, the Cowboys' first opponent, will bring a potent offensive attack that will feature one of the state's top sprinters in Trevor Evans. He was the state champion in Class A in the 400 meters and the runner up in the 100 meters last spring.
"I would say at this point the offense is a step ahead of the defense," Tomberlin noted heading into this week's final few days of practice.
"On defense we are still trying to figure some things out," Tomberlin said.
Tomberlin was not particularly pleased with the Cowboys' scrimmage with Maud last week.
"We have a lot of improving to do, but we will watch film and we will get better," said Tomberlin.
"We are looking forward to some things and we are trying to get some excitement back in the program. The kids' attitudes are good and we are lifting every day and they are getting stronger," Tomberlin added.
Snyder will provide a tough challenge for the Cowboys' season opener. The Cyclones are picked fourth District B-3, but ahead of them are Carnegie, Alex and Cyril – all top 15 teams in the preseason.
Tomberlin will be assisted by first-year coach Austin Masoner.

A composite green pigment composed of cobalt and zinc oxides that have been calcined together. First developed in 1780 by Sven Rinman, a Swedish chemist, cobalt green, or Rinman's green, was not sold as an artists pigment in 1835. Cobalt green is a permanent, bright, bluish-green pigment. It is a good drier in oil paints but has low tinctorial power. The name cobalt green has also been used for some commercial paints that have a mixture of cobalt blue and chrome yellow.
Fine, regular, rounded, transparent particles. Bright green in transmitted light.
Resistant to alkalis. Slightly soluble in acids producing a pale pink solution.

Few recent 'serious' books have gotten quite such a bashing: usually when the subject is Darwinism there will be two camps, pro and contra, depending on what one's beliefs are, but What Darwin Got Wrong hasn't gotten much support from any quarter.
The heavyweight (and often lengthy) critiques at least show the book is being taken seriously -- though the main concern many seem to have is for its being so "predictably ripe for making mischief", as Ned Block and Philip Kitcher write in the Boston Review. Indeed, the consensus seems to be that this is not only a bad book, but a dangerously bad one.
The circulation of the proof copy of What Darwin Got Wrong, the product of a noted philosopher and a prominent student of linguistics and cognitive science, has resulted in a volume of critical comment from biologists and philosophers that has not been seen since 1859. No week has passed that a manuscript expressing bewilderment or outrage from a biologist or philosopher of science has not arrived on my desk or desktop. I have tried but not succeeded entirely in avoiding reading these before making a first draft of this review.

Are There Capstone Projects in Online College?
Over the years, educators have discovered that testing is not the best way to see if students have understood and can apply what they have learned in a class. For many years, the thesis has been the final project for Master's degree candidates, while for doctoral students it is the dissertation. In many schools, the capstone has replaced the final deliverable for either a course or program. If you are an online student, will you find capstone projects in online college?
Is a Capstone Project Required for Every Course?
The use of capstone projects is as varied as the myriad types of degrees offered by online colleges. On the undergraduate level, some degree programs may require a culminating capstone at the end of their program that is designed for students to bring together everything they have learned during their education. On the other hand, some capstone projects are required at the end of a single course. These capstones are probably not required for every course, but that depends on the college. Credit wise, capstone projects in online college may be stand-alone courses and carry three or four credits whereas in other cases, students may have the option to add an extra credit to a standard three-credit course.
What's the Difference Between a Thesis and a Capstone Project?
Both a thesis and capstone project have the same goal – for the student to demonstrate mastery in the subject. A capstone project is more flexible than a thesis and looks at the student's ability to apply the core concepts covered in the degree program to a reality-based situation. On the other hand, a thesis is a single written paper based around a specific thesis statement or purpose. It involves considerable research, data analysis and assessment, and developing a conclusion.
Online capstones can be achieved with a partner or small group using digital communication tools, while a thesis is almost always prepared individually. Common types of capstone projects include case studies, evaluations focusing on outcomes, surveys or some other relevant project. A capstone can also be a self-directed research paper where a student integrates all the things learned in the course or degree program and that presents a unique view on the topic. Other capstone project examples include putting together a feasibility plan for a new business or creating a portfolio of advertising or clothing designs.
As the value of education continues to grow, so do the opportunities for students to demonstrate their knowledge and skills in unique ways. The most valuable way for online students to test their proficiencies and for instructors to be able to evaluate their skills, is for them to participate in capstone projects in online college. Not only do the results of the capstone project provide a valuable addition to the resume, they also provide a most effective way of reinforcing the student's knowledge.

Our river dolphins are Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins, but they spend their entire live in the Indian River Lagoon.
So, if you would like the opertunity to see these amazing creatures, give SUP Eco Adventures a call at 321-507-6058 or drop us an email at supecoadventures@gmail.com. All our tours are by resevation only, to ensure we keep our groups nice and small and limit our footprint when we visit our local wildlife.
They are adapted to swim, fish and survive in the different waters of the Indian River Lagoon. For example, the waters of the Indian River Lagoon average only 3 or 4 feet deep. The dolphins have adapted to the swallow waters and can easily maneuver in the area.
When baby dolphins are first born, they actually have a small amount of fur, which they lose as they grow older.
A great way to spend a day in February! Out on the beautiful water in central Florida's East Coast. Although, its winter, it's been very warm, so we have been seeing lots of manatee in the area. But, we also see our local dolphin, so keep us company and put on some great shows. It's amazing to sit back and watch.
You've seen them on TV, in magazines and along the beaches. Celebrities and neighbors are all on the water. Why all this attention on stand up paddle boarding and why has it become such a phenomenon? For years people have kayaked and enjoyed the waterways all around the world, but now those kayaks are being replaced by stand up paddle boards (SUP). What exactly is a stand up paddle board and why have they become so prevalent? The stand-up paddle board has been described as a surf board on steroids or a cross between a surf board and a kayak. A stand up paddle board is designed to provide flotation due to its increased volume.
Most stand up paddle boards can be put into one of three classes, general, race and cruising boards. Most boards are designed to be utilized on either flat water or surf. Most individuals when they first start paddle boarding begin on a general SUP board. This is the board which most closely resembles a surf board. It normally has rounded rails, a stringer running down the center, elevated rocker and a deck pad. This type of board offers great stability and can be used in either flat-water or surf conditions.
The second type of SUP board is the race board. This type of board is a designed to be fast and cut through the waves. This board is generally not used to learn on since its design is narrow and its not normally as maneuverable as a general board. In addition, a race board is much more responsive making it tippier and more difficult to ride. This design leads to a board which is much faster through the water and is best utilized by someone who is experienced.
The final board design which is now starting to make its mark on the market is the cruising board. This board is longer than a general board but wider than a race board. This board tracks straighter and is stable. This board will allow you to travel greater distances while carrying additional loads without affecting its paddling characteristics.
When picking a board, this is just one of the questions you should ask yourself, "What am I going to be doing with the board?" This will go a long way in determining which type of board to purchase and what your overall SUP experience will be. So, whether you're looking for a board to surf waves, explore the flat-water or do some flat-water exploration, there is a stand up paddle board made for you.
First photo of the day for 2012– A great day out on the water with SUP Eco Adventures first and most supportive guest. Loved spending time with her again.
As fall sets in on the Space Coast many are turning to the surf which is now kicking up in the Atlantic, but for those individuals who don't want to head out through eight to ten foot swells, there is another way to get out on the water. Stand up paddle boarding is still a great way to get out on the water to see the sights, get exercise or just spend some time outdoors.
I was in Florida for 5 days and wanted to try Stand Up Paddling. I found Dina and Fernando's sight on the internet. I loved the tour so much I did it a second time. Dina and Fernando have found the perfect spot to paddle board. The water is calm and a perfect place to paddle for newbies and experienced paddlers. Dina and Fernando go out of their way to make sure your trip is amazing….we wanted to see manatees and on the second trip Fernando spotted some and guided us to them. What an amazing experience. Stand Up Paddling is a great way to get some exercise while being able to enjoy the nature around you. I highly recommend this tour and will definitely be back!
this was the best thing to try in melbourne! we were able to see manatee up close as well as other wildlife. check them out on facebook!

This top was initially made in 2014 and it was thought to be a 40's style top.
The digitization and grading of the pattern was made using Patternmaker USA to maintain the accuracy of the sizing.
The current pattern is designed to make it with woven AND knit fabrics. Since the pattern has a very loose fit (8" ease at bust measurement) the neckline of the pattern has been adapted to be suitable for woven without altering the design of it.
New step-by-step illustrated tutorial available.
RECOMMENDED FABRIC: lightweight to medium weight knit or woven such as jersey knit, challis, chambray, lawn, batiste, crepe.
I think this top will look fantastic on a double gauze fabric and chambray like the ones below. There is also the option of the jersey knit in deep blue and green.
An extra PDF pattern in Copy shop format if you want to print on a bigger page!
This pattern comes in A4, Copy shop (A0 and C0) and Letter Size Version.
It will print 26 pages for the letter and A4 while only 2 pages for the copy shop (36" ) format.
When finish printing, place the pages as the layout below.
To avoid this, check the 4 inches test square located in the first page of the pattern section .
It will help you to see if the patterns are the correct size.
Each page has corner marks to indicate where you should fold/paste the pages together. The marks must be 0.5 inch away from the page border.
The page also has a half blue diamond shape in the middle. This will also help you to put the pages together. When the pages are correctly aligned, you will create a full diamond.

Some first-year students fear Westminster's Four-Year Guarantee

Westminster College's Four-Year Guarantee is an academic plan that ensures students complete their degree in that time frame — or the college pays their tuition for the fifth year. Though this may seem beneficial, it can be stressful for some incoming first-year students trying to decide whether to sign the contract.
The guarantee requires students to declare their major by the end of their second semester and to remain in good academic standing. It also requires them to complete a minimum of 31 credit hours per year and provides them with an academic plan telling them which classes they are required to take and when.
If the classes are unavailable and they aren't able to graduate, that's when Westminster steps in to pay for the fifth year.
"The benefits are to start and continue with the idea that you will graduate in four years," said Christie Fox, who manages the Four-Year Program. "It saves time and money. That's why we have the plan."
This plan benefits students who have a double major in addition to their WCore classes, which may make them unable to finish in four years, according to the START center.
The plan was enacted in the fall of 2015 so no student has completed the guarantee.
However, because the plan requires students to declare a major and commit to an academic scheduling plan that confines them to a specific pathway, some first-year students have expressed concern that the requirement is too restricting.
"It closes you off to other options," said undeclared first-year student Paige Llewellyn. "How do you really know that's what you want to do? It determines the rest of your life."
The requirements also concern first years who want the opportunity to change majors if they change career plans.
"I don't have much experience in the degree that I chose, and I'm ambivalent about wanting to do it as a career," said first-year neuroscience major Dylan Jones. "I want to be able to explore other degrees."
Some students also question the need to commit to the Four-Year Guarantee — especially because, according to Fox, "most students already graduate within four years."
Though some first-year students don't see it as necessary, Christopher LeCluyse, an English professor and the chair of the college curriculum committee, said the guarantee has its advantages.
"I think the plan is beneficial because it not only helps students stay on track to complete their degrees but also holds the college accountable," he said.

Chanel inspired jacket was made of soft Italian wool tweed. The pattern is my own design and it was constructed using couture hand techniques. The sleeve vents were faced with bias cut facings, applied with 3/4″ extending past the finished edge. The bias edge was then frayed and trimmed to an even width of about 3/8″. Sleeve vents are functional with hand stranded buttonholes worked with silk twist.
In order to maintain the lightness found in couture, the lapel and collar facings were also cut as bias strips and shaped with steam to the proper curve. The bottom front edge of the jacket facing was shaped with two darts as necessary to curve around the lower egde. By cutting the fringe as a single layer and fraying the edge, bulk was eliminated. I tested inserting a bias strip into the seam but found it produced an edge too bulky and stiff for my desired finished effect.
The fringed edges of the pocket flaps were made from bias strips sewn along the edges, frayed, then trimmed to an even width of 3/8″. Pocket flap linings are hand felled to the wrong side and all raw edges are turned under and fell stitched. The pockets and flaps are hand applied. The lining is also hand sewn into the completed jacket.
While time comsuming, this project produced a jacket that is very lightweight and comfortable. It moves with the body and feels wonderful.
I saw this jacket on the Threads Lined Jacket contest (after the contest was already over). Such a beautiful jacket! The time you put into it is evident. It is beautiful! Maybe someday I will get the courage to make one similar….maybe.
I would love to follow your blog, but don't see a button do do this.
Thanks for noticing. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and you will see a button to have your email added to the list. I'm just getting this up and running and am still trying to get everything to work right. I will be posting additional projects soon and would love comments.
I will be posting a followup for the tweed jacket and will be sure to include an in-depth explanation of how to do the fringe trim. Thanks for noticing and I hope you enjoy.

DBS ramps up GTS
On the Move / 11-08-10 / by GTR
Ex-Balli Steel treasurer denies knowledge of trade finance fraud
Finverity brings in new hire to expand funder network
Kyriba launches receivables finance solution to help corporates release tied-up cash
Asia's DBS has made three senior hires to its global transaction services (GTS) business.
Soumitro Mukerji has joined the bank as chief operating officer for GTS.
Reporting to DBS's group head of GTS Tom McCabe, Mukerji is responsible for increasing the efficiency and profitability of GTS operations and end-to-end business processes.
Specifically, he will oversee the GTS investment agendas, business risks and controls, governance and audit relationships.
Mukerji has more than 20 years of experience, recently serving at ABN Amro/RBS's commercial and consumer business for Asia Pacific as the regional head of service delivery.
He has also already worked at DBS's Amsterdam offices as chief financial officer for the bank's global transaction banking business.

Q: How to return static files passing through a view in django? I need to return css files and js files according to specific logic. Clearly, static serve does not perform what I need. I have a view, whose render method uses logic to find the proper file, but then I have to return it. Technically, I can just read the file and stuff it into a HttpResponse object with the proper mime type, but I was wondering if there was a better strategy. (like fpassthru() in php)

A: Why don't you use Django staticfiles inside your view
from django.contrib.staticfiles.views import serve

...
def view_function(request):
   return serve(request, 'absolute_path_to_file_name')

A: This is what I used:
test_file = open('/home/poop/serve/test.pdf', 'rb')
response = HttpResponse(content=test_file)
response['Content-Type'] = 'application/pdf'
response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename="%s.pdf"' \
                                  % 'whatever'
return response

A: Why not return an HttpResponseRedirect to the location of the correct static file?

A: Serving files directly from a view is very slow. If you are looking for normal file serving see this question: Having Django serve downloadable files
To very easily serve files through a view (for debug purposes, for example) keep reading.
# In your urls.py:
url(r'^test-files/(?P<name>.+)/$', views.test_files, name='test_files'),

# In your views.py:
from django.http.response import HttpResponse
from django.views.decorators.csrf import csrf_exempt

@csrf_exempt # (Allows file download with POST requests, can be omitted)
def test_files(request, name):
    if name == "myxml":
        fsock = open("/djangopath/data/static/files/my.xml", "rb")
        return HttpResponse(fsock)

This allows you to download the file from: http://127.0.0.1:8080/app/test-files/myxml/

A: What webserver software are you using?
At least for Apache and NginX, there is a module enabling you to use the X-SendFile HTTP header. The NginX website says Lighty can do this, too.
In your wrapper view:
...

abspath = '/most_secret_directory_on_the_whole_filesystem/protected_filename.css'

response = HttpResponse()
response['X-Sendfile'] = abspath

response['Content-Type'] = 'mimetype/submimetype'
# or let your webserver auto-inject such a header field
# after auto-recognition of mimetype based on filename extension

response['Content-Length'] = <filesize>
# can probably be left out if you don't want to hassle with getting it off disk.
# oh, and:
# if the file is stored via a models.FileField, you just need myfilefield.size

response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename=%s.css' \
    % 'whatever_public_filename_you_need_it_to_be'

return response

Then you can connect the view via http://mysite.com/url_path/to/serve_hidden_css_file/.
You can use it anytime you need to do something upon a file being requested that should not be directly accessible to users, like limiting who can access it, or counting requests to it for stats, or whatever.
For Apache: http://tn123.ath.cx/mod_xsendfile/
For NginX:  http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxXSendfile

A: Pass an iterator (such as the result of open()) to the HttpResponse constructor.

A: you can use below code in your view:
Note:in this function I return images but you can return every thing based your need and set your context_type
from django.http import HttpResponse,Http404
import os

def img_finder(request, img_name):
    try:
        with open(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)) + '/static/img/' + img_name, 'rb') as f:
            return HttpResponse(f.read(), content_type="image/jpeg")
    except IOError:
        raise Http404

A: Here the most simple and efficient way to do this.
app/urls.py
from django.urls import re_path
from app import views

urlpatterns = [
    re_path(r'^(?P<public_url>.*)$', views.public, name="public"),
]

Warning : put the URL pattern at the end
app/views.py
import os
from django.conf import settings
from django.views.static import serve

def public(request, public_url):
    public_folder = os.path.join(str(settings.BASE_DIR), 'folder_path')
    return serve(request, public_url, document_root=public_folder)

A: It should be wasteful to use django to serve static content (not to mention, several orders of magnitude slower).
I'd rather convert the view into a context processor and use the variables in templates to find what blocks to include.

Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe with a brace each in PSG victory over Club Brugge

Paris Saint-Germain finally did what we have been waiting for them to do for months with a 4-1 thrashing of Club Brugge to close out their UEFA Champions League Group A campaign in style on Tuesday.
Mbappe all but put the game to bed inside seven minutes, scoring twice in quick succession for the home side.
Lionel Messi also scored twice, one outside the box and one from the penalty spot, making it a 4-1 victory in the final game of the Champions League.
Kylian Mbappe became the youngest player to reach 30 Champions League goals as Paris St-Germain rounded off Group A with a win over Club Bruges.
Although the result counted for next to nothing given the makeup of the group, it was refreshing to see the star-studded Parisien outfit finally live up to their billing and dominate an opponent which has rarely been the case domestically or in Europe.
"Nothing was at stake, but the Champions League is still the Champions League," said Mbappe post-match.
"It was a very good game," added Pochettino. "We started very well. The players on the pitch connected well. We put together some good sequences. We deserved this. I really liked how we played great football in a great atmosphere."

So happy to say Alex Battles & The Whisky Rebellion have a great show in store for Friday, August 8th at the Rod and Gun Club in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. This place is as small and hot as it is genuine and true. For Battles and the band it is always a superb treat to play for a few fantastic music fans all seated at a wooden picnic table on a sultry summer evening. There's only one long table in the joint and it's by far one of Battles' all time favorite tables to play to. Should the oh-so-fun table be too full, enjoy the show from the couch in the balcony. Alex will look up at you and wink. It's certain. Become a member of this legendary club for a night, membership includes a free beer and a front row seat to a hell of a swell show. You gotta love a place where all seats are front row seats.

Cameroon-French singer-songwriter to make Vietnam debut
The talented Cameroon-French singer-songwriter Irma Pany will debut in Vietnam for her 2015 Asia tour, the French Institute in Ho Chi Minh City has announced.
Thursday, May 14, 2015 21:01
Irma will perform on May 23 in Hanoi, May 24 in Hue, and May 26 in HCM City.
"Universally praised for her compositions, hailed as a true artist of the digital age, Irma is definitely a treat for music lovers," said a press release from the Institute.
Born in Bangangte, Cameroon, in 1988 to a musical and well-off family, she grew up in Douala where she started playing the piano at seven, composed her first song I Know at 13, and drew early influences from the likes of Ben Harper, Jeff Buckley and Michael Jackson.
Her rise to fame took off when she signed with the My Major Company label of Michael Goldman, son of the legendary Jean-Jacques Goldman.
Irma reached universal recognition for her first album Letter to the Lord. She toured Europe, signed record contracts with Universal Public Records, and was featured in an advertisement of Europe Google Chrome. She was also nominated for Best French singer at 2012 MTV Europe Music Awards.
She wrote and finished her second album Faces after an 18-month stay in New York City's East Village neighbourhood, filming and listening to stories that inspired her.
Beginning as a YouTube phenomenon, Irma said that "an album should be performed. You have to feel its vitality; you have to breathe life into the songs".-VNA
