Destrnik je naselje in središče istoimenske občine v Slovenskih goricah. Naselje leži na gričih nad Pesniško dolino na nadmorski višini 355m. Ima 192 prebivalcev. Naselje leži v središču občine Destrnik in je demografsko ogoroženo. Najvišji vrh v Destrniku se imenuje Ojstrovec.

Zgradbe v naselju
Naselje ima zdravstveni in gasilski dom, prodajalno z živili, prodajalno z gradbenim materialom, cerkev in drugo.

V letu 2008 so zgradili moderni kulturni dom, ki ima eno veliko in eno majhno dvorano. V tem domu imajo društva svoje pisarne. Trenutno se v Destrniku polaga urejena kanalizacija in optična napeljava. Gradi se tudi nova cesta s pločniki.

Naselje ima 67 stanovanjskih objektov, ki so različno stari. Podoba hiš se je spreminjala skozi leta – opečnate gradnje so zamenjale cimprane. Še vedno pa je ohranjenih nekaj primerkov starih kmečkih hiš z značilno arhitekturo. Naselju poseben pečat daje cerkev, ki s sedanjo podobo kraju, že od leta 1888 predstavlja središče kraja.

Gospodarstvo
Prebivalstvo se ukvarja s poljedelstvom, živinorejo in predvsem z vinogradništvom.

Turizem
Turizem Destrnika se iz leta v leto povečuje. Kljub temu, da je Destrnik majhen kraj so na željo prebivalcev ustanovili Turistično društvo Destrnik, katero se zavzema za prireditve in razpoznavnost kraja Destrnik. Turizem se v kraju še razvija, vendar vedno več obiskovalcev se udeležuje tamkajšnjih prireditev.

Društvo je bilo ustanovljeno leta 1966, sedaj pa šteje že kar 110 članov društva.
V Destrniku si lahko ogledamo različne znamenitosti, kot so:
 Cerkev sv. Urbana (pozen barok),
 kapelice (križa in znamenja),
 spominsko obeležje vsem padlim v vojnah in
 Škarjakov muzej, v katerem je na ogled črna kuhinja, kmečka soba in stara kmečka orodja.

Pripravljajo tudi tradicionalne praznike »Kmečki praznik« kjer obiskovalcem predstavijo tradicionalne navade in opravila, »Blagoslov konjev« in »Martinovanje«.

V prihodnosti načrtujejo izgradnjo zdravilišča, saj je v okolici topli izvir vode. V okolici se nahaja nekaj kmečkih turizmov, najbolj poznan je kmečki turizem pri Lovrecu.

Pripravljajo tudi razstavo »Mickine rože«, gre za ročno izdelavo povoščenih majhnih rožic.

V kraju Destrnik za zabavo in razvoj turizma skrbijo tudi sekcije:
 Rekreativno-športna sekcija, ki organizira rekreativno kolesarjenje in hojo po peš poteh;
 Ljudske pevke Urbačanke s frajtonarjem (pojejo pesmi iz njihovih krajev, katere so se ohranile skozi čas;
 Sekcija Kurenti (šteje 30 članov, udeležujejo se pustnih povork v različnih krajih po Sloveniji in tudi v zamejstvu);
 Ansambel Dinamika (največ nastopajo po Sloveniji in tudi Avstriji in Nemčiji. S svojimi skladbami sodelujejo na vseh pomembnejših festivalih v Sloveniji in drugod (Ptujski festival, Števerjanski festival v Italiji).

Destrnik ima tudi Kulturni dom, ki ga lahko vzamete v najem, nahaja se v centru občine Destrnik. Primeren je za gledališke igre, koncerte, proslave, seminarje, predavanja, tečaje. Poleg teh prostorov vam nudijo še osnovne, sanitarije, garderobe in zaodrje.

Društva
 Društvo mladih Destrnik je eno izmed mnogih društev v Destrniku.
Leta 2003 se je skupina mladih, kreativnih ljudi na čelu z M.P. odločila, da ustanovi društvo, ki bo mladim pomagalo pri realizaciji lastnih in skupinskih se idej v Destrniku. Društvo je začelo delovati 19.02.2003, tega dneva so namreč dobili od Upravne enote Ptuj sklep o delovanju društva. Trenutno društvo šteje okrog 80 članov.

DMD organizira različne projekte na športnem, kulturnem, družabnem in humanitarnem področju. V zadnjih letih so organizirali tabore, izlete v Gardaland, okrogle mize, računalniško izobraževanje in druženje ob igranju online iger, filmske večere in drugo. Največ poudarka pa namenijo športnim dejvnostim in projektom. Skozi leto izvedejo več športnih tekmovanj v nogometu, košarki in dobojki. Projekte izvajajo tudi v sodelovanju z drugimi društvi, v zadnjih dveh letih pa največ sodelujejo s KMDO - Klub mladih občine Dornava.

 Destrnik ima tudi svoje Prostovoljno gasilsko društvo.
PGD Destrnik je bilo ustanovljeno 24.Januarja 1969. Trenutno društvo šteje 104 člane, gasilski dom in tri intervencijska vozila. Glavna naloga društva je zagotavljanje požarne varnosti, zraven tega pa člani poprimejo še po drugih nalogah: Pregled hidrantnega omrežja, preusmeritve prometa in redarstvo ob raznih dogodkih, Izdelava presmeca katerega vsako leto pred velikonočnimi prazniki postavijo ob Cerkvi Sv. Urbana,...

Jan Dziaczkowski (1983-2011) was born in Warsaw. In 2007 he graduated from the Department of Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. A painter, photographer, illustrator and collagist, Dziaczkowski would, in a period of just a few years, begin to establish himself as one of the most talented and compelling of young artists at work in Poland. Jan Dziaczkowski died in September 2011, while hiking in the Tatra Mountains.
Since his death, the Foundation for Visual Arts has begun cataloguing and archiving the artist's paintings, photographs, drawings, and collages, with a view toward preserving his tragically abbreviated legacy and disseminating his work over time.


As some of you may have heard, I've finally got my hands on a piece of a land and now when I'm finally able to get my hands dirty I'm faced with the reality of my shallow, compacted, alkaline and sometimes waterlogged for months soils. This has come as a huge disappointment as I had big plans for annual gardens, food forests and perennial grasslands.
After taking a deeper look into this subject, I began to realize that, in essence, my only two options are importing good soil (not going to happen!) or improving the soil I already have. The latter offers me the chance to regenerate the soils and actually learn something about soil and soil biology, so I've now embraced the challenge.
Something fascinating I learnt while reading up on the subject is that there are more microorganisms in a teaspoon full of healthy soil than there are people in the world. When we add in earthworms, nematodes and other soil life we can see that there is much more to soil than we realize looking down from above.
This kind of biological richness is something that we in permaculture should try to replicate in our gardens. But what I've learned is that emulating a grassland is different than emulating a forest, and for this reason you first have to be clear on which ecosystem you're trying to copy. Here is why.
Ecological succession is a process of change in the species structure over time. The established species influence the soil composition and alter it over time. As you can see from my sketches there is a significant difference in soil found in the bare field than in the forest. The main difference lies in what kind of microbes are most prevalent in the soil and what they feed upon. Generally, fungi respond to surface decomposition, whereas bacteria prefer soil disturbance.
The weight of fungi present in forest soils is much greater than the weight of bacteria. In grasslands, however, there is around an equal distribution of the two. In agricultural soils that are routinely tilled, in contrast, the weight of fungi is less than that of bacteria.
But how does this apply to me, you may ask? Well, if you are trying to create a healthy pasture or self-fertilizing food forest, or even just a productive annual garden you will need to simulate the conditions where the intended plants are originally found.
So, let's look at three most common situations you'll be faced with on your farm: annual gardens, grasslands and food forests, and see what steps you can take to bring your soil to life.
Want to improve your soil the permaculture way? Skip the guesswork and use this FREE Checklist as your reference.
Annual plants colonize bare soil following a disturbance. As they wither and die at the end of their growing season their remains fall on the ground and act as mulch that bacteria and earthworms feed upon. This cycle repeats itself annually, with organic matter building and the creation of humus. Here is what to do to replicate these conditions.
As can be seen in nature, to establish annuals you have to intervene mechanically to prepare beds for crop planting and establishment. However, you don't want till deep as you don't want to disturb the soil structure.
The undisturbed subsoil lets earthworms dig their tunnels and provides aeration and drainage while their exertions bind together crumbs of soil. They play an important role in healthy soil structure and replace mechanical with biological tillage.
Good compost supplies both the organic matter for soil building and the fertilizer for the crops, and, most importantly, it's packed with soil organisms that trigger biological activity. It inoculates your soil with microbes that will digest nutrients present in the soil and feed your plants.
Compost is the key ingredient for building and maintaining healthy soil. Because of its special characteristics, compost cannot simply be replaced with manure, natural fertilizers or green manure.If you've just moved to a new garden and want productivity, then compost will rapidly make your soils fertile.
Once you have your soil biology working for you, you need to feed it so it can feed your plants.There are a number of different ways to maintain soil organic matter in your annual garden. One of the easiest is using lawn grass clippings, leaves, straw or cover crops and, of course, compost.
The mulch is then left on the surface to decompose. Adding this layer of organic matter and spreading it is, in effect, 'composting in place', where the garden beds become large composting areas. Then by the actions of earthworms, bacteria, fungi and insects, the organic matter is slowly broken down and released into the soil, providing nutrients to the garden.
While all this sounds great if you are running a market garden operation, this kind of practice is restrictive and somewhat impractical. Here is what JM Fortier in his book The Market Gardener has to say: "Based on my experience, direct seeding into crop residues, mulch, or crimped down cover crops is not straightforward, causing unpredictable germination rates – a nightmare for any commercial grower." Something we should bear in mind.
With crop rotation you can actually mimic the diversity of annual plants growing on a bare field. Differing root systems among plants penetrate the soil to different depths, improving its structure.
By ensuring crop diversity and alternating crops you allow soil to keep producing without being drained of its nutrients, while simultaneously eliminating a number of diseases and harmful insects that often occur when one species is continuously cropped.
As we move in succession the perennial grasses are slowly taking over. Big herbivores are roaming in herds feeding off these grasses, trampling them down and fertilizing the soils. Over long periods of time organic matter simply built up and now we have fungi and mycelium with bacteria, equally represented.
Unless you need to repair the compacted soil, poor drainage or have to do some initial tillage to sow the perennial cover, you should aim for no till, no compaction and lowest possible mechanical disturbance. Make your tillage minimal.
Here the goal is the same as with an annual garden, enabling the biological tillage but also taking advantage of the mycorrhizal fungi which form symbiotic relationships with the roots, extending the plant's root network. They also prevent pathogens, improve water use efficiency and the efficiency of absorbing other nutrients.
If we look at perennial native ranges we can see they are permanently covered. So the first step to rebuilding soil structure and health of a grassland is to get it under perennial cover. This acts like armor for the soil. Bare soil is detrimental to its health, you only find bare soil in catastrophic events or where humans have imposed their will upon it.
Cover crops are planted specifically to build and hold soil and to smother weeds. They range from long-growing perennials to short-term green manures but the aim is the same: a solid cover of plants. Their leaves will protect the soil from hammering rains and eventually their residue carpets the surface with nutritious, humus-building matter.
Once again, if you look at native perennial ecosystems we can see diversity. Rather than resorting to one or two species of cover crops they should be seeded as multi-species combinations, through doing so, you are mimicking what nature does. You optimize solar energy collection as different plants have different shaped leaves. Because the roots penetrate to varying depths the mycorrhizal fungi are able to deliver moisture and nutrients from the different areas of the soil profile.
You can design your cover crops to address whatever specific concerns you may wish: whether it's protection of the soil as living mulches, adding organic matter as green manure, boosting fertility with N fixing legumes or dealing with compaction. Even if you are using your grassland for growing cash crops, you can maximize your profits by mixing in cover crops. Cover crops can be sown before, with, or after the cash crop. This way you have something growing all the time.
In nature soils are formed in conjunction with herbivores. In this case through large herds of herbivores moving across the planes, but also by other local wildlife; rabbits, grasshoppers, and other insects. All of them are taking this forage, the biomass, and endlessly recycling it. Animals are an integral part of a healthy ecosystem. But how can they help you to build healthy soil?
A prime example of building soil with big herbivores is the holistic planned grazing practice conducted by Allan Savory and others like Greg Judy. They use high-density animal herds that graze a paddock for one day before being moved to the next paddock. Joel Salatin has a similar technique, he has a grazing plan with a high-density herd impact followed by ample recovery time.
The goal is for animals to consume a third of the grass in the paddock and trample the rest into the soil to feed earthworms and soil microbes, thus replicating the natural herds of large grazers that coevolved with grasses.
With time every ecosystem will eventually end up forest-like. In a forest, organic matter in the form of fallen leaves, twigs and branches and dying plants, are all deposited on the forest floor, where they are decomposed into rich humus by the action of fungi and other organisms. Fungal fabrics, mycelium run through the top few inches and act as interfaces between plant roots and nutrients, bringing distant nutrients and moisture to the host plant, extending the absorption zone well beyond the root structure. No tree could reach maturity without this symbiotic relationship.
If you are starting from scratch let's see how you can transform bare land to a food forest.
Preparing the soil prior to planting offers certain advantages. A year of cover cropping and woody mulching not only offers a chance to build organic matter and correct fertility imbalances but, most importantly, accelerates fungal dominance. Fruit trees generally prefer high-quality soil and that's why it is particularly important to achieve a good layer of humus and to try to use as much biomass as possible on the soil.
Following the initial tillage or sheet mulching, existing grasses will generally be ready for cover crops, preferably red or crimson clover as these two nitrogen-fixing legumes have a stronger affinity for mycorrhizal fungi. Other Legumes and dynamic accumulator plants are also acceptable, and all of these can be even oversown into existing grasses.
Dip exposed roots of seedlings into water enriched with the spore mass of one or more mycorrhizal species.
Broadcast spores onto the root zones of existing trees and shrubs, using spores in a water carrier.
Place a little soil from the root zone of proven mushroom-producing trees around seedlings, either in the nursery or soon after planting.
Inoculate the compost of pot-grown plants with a mixture of dried spores from suitable species.
When planting trees or shrubs, scatter a dry spore mixture into the planting hole.
Compost, deciduous wood chips, and other woody material can be added on top of the green manure crops. The woody material is what drives the fungal dominance you want for a healthy food forest. The goal, plain and simple, is to create what Michael Phillips in Holistic Orchard calls fungal duff – the litter layer where mineralization and humification take place through the action of fungi.
Mulching with wood chips and chopping and dropping woody plant material on the ground helps mycorrhizae thrive, and it's this fungal connection that provides the balanced nutrition necessary for a tree to better withstand disease.
The self-fertilising nature of the food forest comes from the use of nitrogen-fixing plants along with other plants like comfrey that are particularly good at raising nutrients from the subsoil. Through their use efficient nutrient cycling develops in a forest-like system, maximizing fertility for other plants to grow.
Nitrogen fixers are extremely useful fertility providers in a food forest. Techniques like 'chop and drop' mulches, coppicing and pollarding from these plants in particular can release the nutrients they have extracted over time from the earth or air. Simply having them shed leaves on the ground can improve fertility. There are many nitrogen fixing plants at each level of the food forest and I recommend reading Martin Crawford's book for a comprehensive list.
With each of the scenarios outlined above you are striving for the highest percent of organic matter in your soil and providing habitats for a high diversity of soil food web organisms. In an annual garden this would be geared more towards bacteria and in a forest garden more towards mycorrhizal fungi.
The easiest way to know what your plants need is to ask yourself: "Where did the plant grow natively, Field or Forest?
Depending on the type of system you wish to achieve, bring animals into the system in any way you can. They help with organic matter and nutrient cycling: earthworms, herbivores, poultry, all are integral to system health.
And always remember nature is our greatest teacher, working in harmony with nature is always the best way to proceed, so whatever you're planning to do always ask yourself: "What would nature do, how would this system I'm trying to set-up look naturally? And then adapt it to your circumstances.
Hope this helps in your endeavors, let me know what you think in the comments!

Cleveland extends curfew through Tuesday after 'violence and unrest': See the new restrictions
The city warns that anybody in violation of the curfew order is subject to arrest.

CLEVELAND — The city of Cleveland has again extended its curfew after downtown protests Saturday.
The curfew will now be in effect through Tuesday at 8 p.m., officials reported Sunday. The curfew was set to expire Monday at 8 a.m. The affected area includes downtown and has been expanded to include the Market District of Ohio City. Click here for more on the restricted areas.
Office workers will not be permitted into the restricted areas unless officially designated or excluded in the Mayor's Proclamation of Civil Emergency (Civil Unrest).
Downtown residents within the curfew zone needing to travel in and out of the restricted area will be permitted with proper identification showing their residences. Pedestrian traffic within the curfew zone is permitted for limited instances including pet relief and essential travel such as medical appointment and to obtain food. However all residents are asked to remain within their homes as much as possible for the duration of the curfew.
Also, there will be no community volunteer clean up efforts during the curfew. All future clean up opportunities will be coordinated through the Downtown Cleveland Alliance.
The city warns that anyone downtown during the restricted hours is ordered to exit immediately. Those in violation of the order are subject to arrest.

"The curfew applies to both vehicles and foot traffic," Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson said while encouraging everybody to stay at home.
This follows Saturday night's curfew, which was established from 8 p.m. until 8 a.m. Sunday "due to violence and unrest."
Mayor Jackson's office announced the original curfew around 7:45 p.m. Saturday, just 15 minutes before its scheduled start time. It was made in response to downtown protests sparked by the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
"Although demonstrations began peacefully today, they escalated into criminal activity with buildings vandalized, cars set on fire and looting of downtown businesses," Mayor Jackson's office said in a press release when launching the first of two curfews on Saturday. "This is not an acceptable form of protesting. This is violent criminal activity."
Mayor Jackson and Cleveland Police Chief Calvin Williams addressed the protests in a Facebook live overnight:

Posted by City of Cleveland - City Hall on Saturday, May 30, 2020
Chief Williams vowed that law enforcement officials will do everything possible to keep people in the city safe.
"We know that a lot of things that happened today were people that did not reside in the city of Cleveland or in this area," Chief Williams said. "There is tons of video footage of a lot of things that happened. We have investigators as we speak that are going through that footage to identify folks so that we can bring them to justice. I want people in the city of Cleveland to know that we're going to do everything possible to keep this city safe going forward."

"Maybe HBO Go, with our broadband partners, could evolve", HBO CEO Richard Plepler told Reuters after the Season 3 premiere of Game Of Thrones. HBO launched HBO GO in 2010 to let cable HBO subscribers view shows on Internet devices such as iPads or Android tablets. However, HBO GO is only available to viewers who pay varying monthly fees for cable TV service, plus additional subscription costs for HBO or other premium channels that can push their cable bills to $100 monthly or more. Plepler suggested that HBO GO possibly could also be packaged with a monthly Internet service for a lower cost. Customers could pay $50 a month for their broadband and an extra $10 or $15 for HBO. Plepler in January ruled out an Internet-only product because it's not in the company's best interests. Even so, Game of Thrones has been pirated heavily online, and making HBO Go available to non-subscribers would provide a legal alternative. John Bradley-West, one of the actors on the show, said piracy might be reduced if HBO offered a season pass via Apple's iTunes store. For now, though, HBO is not changing its Game of Thrones distribution windows for DVDs and downloads.

Austria & Bavaria
Eden in Innsbruck
We drove over Brenner pass into Austria from Italy and descended into the town of Innsbruck. The increased elevation definitely made it cooler but we found a restaurant near the old town that had outdoor seating in the sunshine. After a few minutes in the sun, we actually got quite hot. The Weissbeer was refreshing, and we have really enjoyed the wheat beers in Europe with Edelweiss being our favorite. Enjoying a beer with the backdrop of the surrounding mountains was relaxing. It reminded me of some of the larger mountain towns in Colorado. After lunch we wandered around the old town and got gelato which ended up being the least expensive so far, only 1.30 euros per cone. Speaking of cost, Innsbruck had a similar feel to some of the cities in Switzerland and also with the fantastic Alps mountain views, but everything was definitely much less expensive here. We explored the city a bit more and then headed to Bichlbach which is where we were stayed for a few nights. Bichlbach is a small town which is likely more active in the winter when the local ski area is open but since we were here in the summer it was very quiet and serene with the beautiful greenery.

Mountain view from old town Innsbruck
We took a short 30 minute drive across the border into Germany to the town of Hohenschwangau to visit the famous Neuschwanstein Castle. I knew it would be busy with tourists, but I was hoping that it wouldn't be too bad given that we were in the middle of the week and at the end of September. Turns out that it was still extremely busy. We waited in line for a bit more than an hour to buy tickets for a tour that wouldn't start for another 5 hours. Luckily, Caroline was able to get us tickets to an earlier tour when she saw one open up after a tour bus canceled. We needed to take a bus up the hill to the Castle and the line for this was longer than what we now had time for, given our new tickets to the castle. Caroline was able to talk the bus driver into letting us bypass the line and we made it in time. The area surrounding the castle was beautifully green with a few lakes nearby. It was very interesting to learn about the castle on the tour and to see the inside. My favorite room was the grotto near the King's bedroom which had colored lights. How many places have a grotto?? King Ludwig II was quite an interesting and eccentric person who supposedly identified with many different people and apparently tried to be someone he wasn't. He wanted to make the castle feel as though he was living in medieval times although it was being constructed in the late 1800s. King Ludwig II was removed from the castle by the government as they claimed he was insane. He died shortly after, although he was only 40 years old. They say the reason of his death is unknown but I'd guess that he committed suicide.

Our first selfie (and no I didn't use a stick, just my long arm.)
We drove back into Austria for dinner and went to a place called Landgasthof Krone. We tried the Weiner Schnitzel and something called Feurtoast. The Feurtoast was amazing and was basically some pork steaks on top of toast with a fire sauce. It really wasn't that spicy. In the menu the pork steaks were called Schweineruckensteaks. It's crazy how long some of the Germanic words get. At any rate, this is one that we will try and re-create ourselves when we get back home.
We left Austria and headed back into Germany towards Munich as that is where our flight out of Europe departed from. Our first stop was in Garmisch-Partenkirchen which is a nice town at the base of the Zugspitze (highest mountain peak in Germany). Garmisch-Partenkirchen is also where the 1936 Winter Olympics were held. We next stopped at the southern outskirts of Munich at one of the larger Biergartens in the city called Waldwirtschaft. We were here right before the Oktoberfest celebration and during lunch hour so it was quite empty versus the thousands that would soon fill the place. We got some wurst and pretzels. I've had plenty of pretzels before, but none as good as these. They were warm, soft on the inside and they came with a house honey mustard to dip in. They were great! No tour to Bavaria would be complete without a visit to the Bavarian Motor Works factory, also known as BMW Welt (World). We took a look at all the cars on display as well as the exhibits. The kids liked the exhibits that were effectively glorified video games where you got to drive a car. I liked sitting in the new BMWs.
We finally headed to the airport in Munich to drop off our Renault Grand Scenic. 12857 km in the last 90 days. It worked out great for us and after we had finished dropping it off, Caroline and I said that we were both surprised that we didn't get in an accident or have any dings given the somewhat chaotic driving.
Now, we are off to the island of Mauritius.

Neighborhoods / Politics / News Rahm's alderman explains why Chicagoans will now have to pay more taxes to get less
Posted By Mick Dumke on 06.10.14 at 04:11 PM
Sun-Times Media
Forty-seventh Ward alderman Ameya Pawar wants you to know that he's going to vote to raise your taxes.
The morning after the city's pension "reform" bill became a done deal, 47th Ward alderman Ameya Pawar walked into a North Center cafe wanting breakfast. Some strategic thinking was also in order, because Chicago is in a bit of a fix.
"The bills are coming due," Pawar said, "and we have to deal with them."
He wasn't talking about the breakfast check. The pension legislation—pushed by Mayor Rahm Emanuel for months and signed by Governor Pat Quinn on Monday—will reduce benefits for thousands of municipal retirees while requiring the city to kick in more money, which it was already supposed to be doing.
Emanuel initially said that financing the revisions would require jacking up property taxes by a jaw-dropping total of $750 million over five years. But then he and Quinn agreed to raise a tax on telephones in the hopes of delaying some of the property tax increases—at least until after Quinn faces reelection in November and Emanuel and the City Council in February.
Pawar counts himself as a supporter of the mayor's—as well as his alderman, since Emanuel lives in the 47th Ward—and he backs the pension plan. But Pawar wasn't celebrating as he sat down at the Julius Meinl coffee shop on Montrose and Lincoln.
In addition to the obligations laid out in the new law, the city is required to pay another $600 million into police and fire pension systems next year. And even after years of cuts and an improving economy, the city continues to face annual budget deficits of $300 million to $500 million—money needed to keep picking up the trash and sending officers on patrol.
"I've been telling people at community meetings that 'At some point I'm going to vote to raise your taxes,'" Pawar said. "Even without the pension bill, we still have about $1 billion coming due, and everybody knows it. Why do you think so many aldermen retired three years ago?"
Hey, nobody said it was all bad news.
Longtime 47th Ward alderman Eugene Schulter was one of the dozen who decided to hang it up before the last elections, and Pawar upset Schulter's designated successor by declaring it was time to end the costly old system of favor-trading politics.
In the time since, Pawar has bucked Mayor Emanuel on occasion but says he'd rather work with him to get things done. The alderman also argues that Emanuel is helping the city through its hangover from generations of patronage politics.
"We're coming off decades of doing things a certain way—'I know a guy who can get me an extra garbage can.' I mean, there is no reason we should have been picking up garbage by political boundaries. And while aldermen did that, it was a source of Chicago pride. It was a culture."
Just a few weeks ago, former alderman Richard Mell offered a spirited defense of patronage during an interview with me and Ben Joravsky at the Hideout. Mell was proud of the roughly 1,000 jobs he once controlled—including a number of positions as bridge tenders, who sat in boathouses along the Chicago River long after there were no boats. Mell said such jobs helped dozens of people get through college.
Pawar doesn't deny it. "But it's like they didn't have to take out student loans, because now we're paying for it," he says.
The neighborhoods that Pawar represents—Lincoln Square, Ravenswood, North Center—once had more than their share of such jobs; Schulter got his start with one of them at the Park District. Pawar says he understands that downsizing city government creates its own problems, and not just in south-side neighborhoods teetering from unemployment and foreclosures. Without investment in infrastructure and services—from bike lanes to schools—even thriving areas like his will lose residents to other cities or the suburbs, especially when their kids reach school age.
Emanuel has said the same thing, which is how he's explained closing dozens of neighborhood schools and pouring resources into charter and selective-enrollment schools that take the best or most motivated students.
In the politest way possible, Pawar argues that's the wrong way to go. "Imagine if you have the NBA draft and only some teams get to pick players," he said. "If people believe in their neighborhood schools, they believe in their neighborhood. If I was the mayor it would be K-12 schools all in, and that would be the way to grow the city."
Yet the alderman says he's prepared to vote for Emanuel again next year, and he believes most of his constituents will as well—even if they're facing higher taxes and less investment.
"If people don't like him, it's usually because of his education policy or his style," Pawar said. "But people clearly don't want another one or two more parking meter deals, and we have to do something. I think they understand that he makes some really tough choices."
One of his choices, by the way, was to fight to keep the current meter deal in place.

You already know that silver has worth as money. Between hearing about the gold standard and the silver standard since as early as you could understand what a dollar was for, you've been made aware that coins, jewelry, objects, artwork, etc., made out of silver all have inherent worth because of scarcity, beauty, malleability, and just pure presence. One interesting way to look at the value of silver today as well is in terms of practical application within the computing industry. As awesome a substance it is as a wearable or money-exchange object, it also has a tremendous number of uses in computer chips and wiring. Bonus!
One thing will be for sure, though, if you want to get into the know about silver and learn advanced knowledge about silver coins, is that you're going to have a read a lot of technical material. You're going to have to learn about history, culture, cause and effect, supply and demand, and intense amounts of knowledge about all different aspects of mining, discovery, production, distribution, and every other part of the silver food chain. So much of what silver is all about is tied in so closely to so many different aspects of the material, that you'd better plan on being a subject matter expert to be able to even join in the conversation with the serious collectors and investors.
From a technological perspective, you're going to want to follow advances in processor technology. Chips are getting smaller and smaller and more and more powerful, and some of these advances come from greater understanding of materials like silver, gold, tiny slivers of silicon; and some people are now even working on organic components for computer processing, which can get down all the way to the molecular and atomic level of processing power. It truly is an amazing time in human history as far as information processing goes.
Ultimately though, your understanding of the value of silver as an investment both monetarily and technologically is going to be a balance of your own personal values. As a single investor, you will probably have to choose where your interests are, and then follow the news that most closely resembles what you're plan calls for. Keep a daily or weekly line on news about silver investing, and decide the right moment to join the fray. The better you understand the language and the culture however, the more likely you are to find the group of people that will rise to the occasion with you. Group investing has a lot of great advantages as well, such as mitigating some of the risk involved.

Radiocarbon dating revolutionised the study of prehistory. Then it was discovered you had to calibrate dates or you could be centuries out. Calibration was the second radiocarbon revolution. Now there is a third.
Bayesian statistics are narrowing radiocarbon date-ranges down to a fraction of what they were. Suddenly, prehistoric chronologies have stopped being 'fuzzy' and we can see what was happening at specific moments in time 6,000 years ago. The first results of a major new dating programme — for five Neolithic long-barrows — have just beenm published. Our first main feature this issue is a full report on the third radiocarbon dating revolution. Then we look back. Ros Niblett is one of the top figures from the postwar generation of field archaeologists. Her work transformed our knowledge of two major Roman towns — Colchester and Verulamium. As she retires from full-time employment as St Albans District Archaeologist, we profile Ros and her five decades of urban archaeology. We stay with the Romans in our third feature. Here we challenge everyone who thinks tile is dull. Peter Warry has made a special study of Roman tile, and, as he explains, it is packed with information about dates, construction methods, building function, and even Roman-style privatisation. Many feel the Roman mind-set is more familiar to us than the medieval. Certainly there are mysteries locked up in some medieval art. Sally Mittuch has been studying some of the most enigmatic of the 1000 or so stunning 14th century stone bosses that adorn Norwich Cathedral. The result is an extraordinary window into medieval conceptions of death and resurrection.

Hook to Coppinger: 'You have no manners. Now shut up'
George Hook, decrying the erosion of civility, fails to practise what he preaches

It's not every day the country gets a new taoiseach, so one might expect the political junkies of talk radio to get worked up about last week's elevation of Leo Varadkar to the top job. But, in a worrying sign for the incoming Taoiseach, the response is strangely muted.
Shane Coleman, co-host of Newstalk Breakfast (weekdays), is regularly teased by his colleague Paul Williams for being a politics nerd. So when Coleman declares his "massive disappointment" at what he sees as a dearth of talent in Varadkar's ministerial picks, it's not an auspicious start for the new administration.
Normally cast as the long-suffering voice of reason in his double act with Williams, Coleman decides to be the editorial attack dog for a change.
It's like lunchtime in Nando's, there are so many Ministers around the table
Doubting the ability of new Minister for Justice Charlie Flanagan to reform An Garda Síochána, he says he would have preferred Heather Humphreys, who "would have given the gardaí a toe up the you-know-where".
He bemoans the "half-demotion" of Mary Mitchell O'Connor to a newly created super junior ministry. "It's like lunchtime in Nando's, there are so many Ministers around the table," he complains.
The air is one of weary fatalism rather than splenetic outrage, but it's striking nonetheless, given that Coleman isn't normally given to predictable rent-a-rants. Even his co-host seems slightly taken aback: "You've got me depressed now."
Lest one think that Williams is losing his natural tabloid touch, he jokily describes Varadkar as "Ireland's most handsome taoiseach", asking listeners for their opinion on the matter. "All right, you've made your point," says Coleman, resuming the role of ever-patient straight man.
Damp squib
On the face of things, Seán O'Rourke approaches the new premier's arrival with a due sense of occasion, broadcasting Wednesday's edition of his show (Today with Seán O'Rourke, RTÉ Radio 1, weekdays) from famed Dáil hangout Buswells Hotel.
He starts off by asking Fine Gael's Regina Doherty about a possible ministerial appointment (she later ends up as Minister of Social Protection), breezily inquiring if she is "glad, confident and expectant".
"I don't know," comes the listless reply, promptly taking the wind out of O'Rourke's sails.
This opening exchange somehow sets the tone for the ensuing discussion. Aside from a spirited exchange between Doherty and People Before Profit TD Bríd Smith over welfare fraud, it's a dutiful overview of possible developments rather than an expectant heralding of a new era. Even O'Rourke's enthusiasm seems to have waned by the end.
This sets the tone of the interview, with both men essentially at cross-purposes throughout
The presenter sounds more like himself when talking to author and scientist Richard Dawkins the day before. Dawkins is on wearing his high-profile atheist hat, which his host tries to knock off with admirable doggedness if occasionally shaky logic.
O'Rourke begins by asking his guest why his theory on the origin of the evolutionary process "excludes the possibility of a creator called God".
"Because it doesn't explain anything," replies Dawkins firmly.
This sets the tone of the interview, with both men essentially at cross-purposes throughout.
It's a compelling encounter. Dawkins, who sounds more reasonable than his fearsome reputation suggests, pitches himself as a paragon of rationality. But he occasionally overstretches his argument, as when he blames religious schooling for the Troubles. An exasperated O'Rourke dismisses this as oversimplification, pointing to other factors such as "plantation, dispossession and nationalism".
O'Rourke strays on to thin ice too, however. At one stage he asks Dawkins to explain the miracles – or "extraordinary recoveries" – attributed to candidates for canonisation.
"I can't believe you take this seriously," says Dawkins incredulously, stressing that unexplained spontaneous recoveries happen in medicine, regardless of prayer.
Dawkins turns out to be an unlikely fan of Jesus's teachings
It's not all fireworks. O'Rourke perks up at the mention of an old textbook on Catholic teaching. "Oh, the green catechism, the Baltimore catechism," he chirps, reeling off lines from it for his slightly bemused guest.
Dawkins, meanwhile, turns out to be an unlikely fan of Jesus's teachings. His own prescription for living, a "secular moral philosophy" of "sitting down together and working out what would make the world a better place", sounds as altruistic and idealistic as turning the other cheek, and about as practical and attainable too. But ultimately both host and guest sound like they're enjoying themselves. Such small displays of mutual respect make the world a slightly better place.
Hook on good manners
The erosion of civility in public life exercises George Hook, presenter of High Noon (Newstalk, weekdays). But alas, he fails to practise what he preaches. Reflecting on the resignation of Enda Kenny, he focuses on one of his bêtes noires, People Before Profit TD Ruth Coppinger, taking issue with her Dáil address to the departing taoiseach.
Coppinger's speech, a catalogue of what she sees as Kenny's failings in office, is marked by monotone earnestness and a certain gracelessness, but for Hook it proves she hasn't got "a shred of good manners".
Cranking up his irritation, the presenter wheels out medieval monarch Henry II's famous complaint about the martyred archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Becket: "Who will rid me of this difficult priest?" (The more usually accepted quote says "turbulent priest", but no matter.) The presenter echoes these sentiments in regard to Coppinger, though presumably without seeking the same outcome: Becket, after all, was murdered on the back of Henry's outburst.
Instead, Hook merely ends his plea for politeness with some suitably respectful advice. "Just shut up, will ya?" Who says civil society is dead?
Radio moment of the week: Full marks to Mitchell
We live in tough times for pedants, what with "literally" having replaced "metaphorically" in everyday use and apostrophes being randomly strewn around sentences like so much confetti. Kudos, then, to Fiona Mitchell, RTÉ's London correspondent, for resisting any misuse of language on Morning Ireland (RTÉ Radio 1). On Monday she reported that British minister David Davis had pledged loyalty to his embattled prime minister. "He is one hundred and t . . . 100 per cent behind Theresa May," Mitchell says, catching herself before committing an egregious sin.

Q. I have the urge to fertilize my lawn but remember you saying that we should not fertilize until May 1. Remind me why we should wait so long?
A. Our warm weather grasses (St. Augustine, zoysia, Bermuda, and buffalo) cannot utilize nutrients until the roots are active. The soil must be warm and the top actively growing. The ability of a grass to use fertilizer coincides with the second mowing of real grass, usually about May 1.
Q. What are some good vines to block an unsightly view?
A. Cross vine is evergreen and can be used in the sun. Carolina jessamine is evergreen and can tolerate shade.
Q. How do we know when we can use our garlic?
A. Garlic bottoms can be used at any time. They are considered ripe when they bloom.
Q. Is the contact herbicide Finale as good as Roundup in your opinion?
A. Yes, I would use the product that was the least expensive.
Q. How long should we wait for our freeze damaged plants to sprout before we declare that they are dead?
A. I would give most about four weeks. Add two weeks to the time for hot weather plants like firebush, esperanza, and poinciana.
Q. We have clay soil. They say foundations crack due to expansion and contraction of the clay. Do you know how much water it takes to protect the house without wasting water?
A. Place a leaky hose around the foundation of the house about one foot from the foundation. Apply water for about four hours every two weeks if it does not rain. Remember that leaky hoses are pressure sensitive. They should sweat or leak rather than spray. You can get the right effect with about one-quarter to one-half turn of the faucet.


It's less than a week since the last tube strike and underground workers have already announced two more 24 hour walkouts later this month. Tube drivers get paid £49,673 and up to 52 days holiday a year. They are striking because they don't want the night-time tube plan to go ahead, despite being offered an above inflation pay rise, bonuses for all staff and, incredibly, a £200 per night bribe for drivers, who already work night shifts, to do a night shift.
There are at least 63 automated subway train systems in the world, including London's very own Dockland's Light Railway, which has been chugging across east London without a driver since 1987. In the only serious DLR incident that Guido can find, the train was being driven under manual control.

Home Blog News Cornetto Decanter
Minimum order = 4 cases
RIEDEL Cornetto Confetti
The Cornetto Confetti series was inspired by pop art. Bright and vibrant, this collection features five pieces in lively colours, achieved by introducing a rod of coloured crystal into the molten glass before the decanter has been formed. Both striking and functional, these pieces are sure to bring joy to your tabletop.
Joyful new decanters
The original Cornetto was first introduced in 2003, and has become one of RIEDEL's best selling pieces due to its ease of use and versatility. The design makes it perfect for both young and old wines. Its long tall shape enables you to vigorously shake up and aerate young wines, and the slim profile creates a smaller surface area exposed so fragile older wines can be carefully decanted to remove sediment without being overexposed to oxygen.

The Cornetto shape comes in four other variations:
Single - for a single bottle (750ml)

The opening of Cambodia's first bitcoin payment gateway is expected to see the number of people using the alternate currency in the kingdom increase, as it has throughout the region.
Operated in Phnom Penh by Cryptoasia, the bitcoin payment gateway enables local businesses without their own clearing accounts to accept payments in bitcoin and receive the payment locally in US dollars.
In a country where the US dollar and Thai baht (in border areas), in addition to the Cambodian Riel, are routinely used for payments, the addition of bitcoin as an additional payment stream is expected to find appeal with the country's large expatriate business and NGO communities.
According to Steve Miller, founder of CryptoAsia, "for NGOs who receive donations by bitcoin it means they will receive the full dollar amount paid, irrespective of where the donation originated.
"Similarly for businesses, they receive the full dollar equivalent of the bitcoin amount paid and there is no sensitive customer information to collect and store, and there are no cards to charge. Our payment processing system automatically converts bitcoin payments to dollars, so there is no need to worry about exchange rates", he added.
The CryptoAsia bitcoin payment gateway utilises Gear from the Mycelium open source ecosystem, 'specifically developed for small and large businesses who want to take advantage of bitcoin and the blockchain'.
According to Mr Miller there's no need for people to have any technical expertise or bitcoin know-how to begin accepting payments.
The establishment of the bitcoin payment gateway is the latest development in the growing use of bitcoin in Cambodia, which up until last November reportedly had only one establishment, Coin Cafe, accepting it for payments.
The writing was on the wall that this was set to change earlier this year when the National Bank of Cambodia (NBC) entered into a partnership with Japanese firm Soramitsu Co., to develop a blockchain-based payment system based on the open-source Hyperledger Iroha decentralised ledger.
At the time Kazumasa Miyazawa, CEO of Soramitsu, described the partnership as "the first step towards creating a more efficient payment infrastructure, which we hope to expand globally".
According to various online bitcoin resources for Cambodia there are currently 12 establishments accepting it as payment, though more are said to be in the process of gearing up.
Mr Miller said anecdotal evidence suggests an increasing number of Cambodians are aware of cryptocurrencies, and he suspects that its use might be more widespread than many people think.
While gold has been the traditional way that many people in Asean have kept their wealth portable – you never know when you might need to flee a genocidal army or flash flood – the increasing penetration of digital technology and the rise of cryptocurrencies is making it even easier to keep wealth truly portable… and secure across international boundaries.
"In many ways cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin can be regarded as the 'gold' of the 21st century", Mr Miller said.
However, unlike gold, which is currently trading some 31 per cent below its value five years ago, bitcoin has risen from as little as US$13 when the currency first started being tracked in 2013, to $3,938.87 as at the time of writing, after hitting a high of $4,672.82 late last month; A 30,195 per cent increase. From just 50,000 trades per day five years ago, online tracking shows there are now about 350,000 bitcoin transactions per day.
While there is currently no bitcoin ATM in Cambodia there are currently 14 in neighbouring Asean countries – four in the Philippines, three in each of Singapore, and Indonesia, two in Vietnam, and one in each of Thailand, and Malaysia – according to Coin ATM Radar, a website that tracks the location of such devices worldwide.

One Response to "Cambodia Bitcoin Payment Gateway Expected to Boost Cryptocurrency Use"
If I may correct the info and advertize for Kampot, we are already 2 businesses to accept bitcoin and cryptos: Subworks since recently, and Auberge du Soleil since its opening in february 2014 and were you even get 10% discount on BTC and some other coins payments for your meals or stays.
Sadly coinmap does not list every each Bitcoin place as it requires that you pin your venue on it by yourself, but it can still help you to find places where to use your digital coins.
One thing that I don't understand is Why would you go back to inflationary paper money while you get a perfect store of value. Overstock originally was converting 90% of their BTC income back to the greenback, but with the experience, they decided to now keep 50% in BTC and convert the 2nd half to fiat.

Home Opinion JPMorgan Healthcare Musings…
JPMorgan Healthcare Musings…
The New Year for life sciences investors does not begin on January 1. Instead, it commences on Monday of the following week in San Francisco, with the annual JPMorgan Healthcare Conference – or as old guys like me stubbornly continue to call it, the H&Q Conference.
It's a four-day marathon of early-morning breakfasts, back-to-back meetings during business hours, and endless receptions/dinners/parties into the late-night hours. And it's filled with traditions such as meeting colleagues "where the clock used to be" at the Westin St. Francis; fighting the crowds to belly up to the bar at the Clift Hotel (although I've got to admit that I've never been able to figure out exactly why); and catching up with old friends from throughout the life sciences and financial industries
Given the season, the circumstances, and some significant recent sleep deprivation, I found myself reflecting back on previous H&Q meetings. It occurred to me that while the life sciences VC world remains one of constant change and advancement, this "progress" often takes us full-circle or loops back on itself in unexpected ways. So with that as the overall theme, here are some musings from this year's event…
Technology Redux
It sure seems that what was old is now new again in the wonderful world of drug development.
Proteins were hot in the early days of biotechnology, where recombinant versions of bioactive molecules such as insulin and human growth hormone simply replaced native proteins that were missing or diminished in diseased individuals. Then, despite successes such as erythropoietin and glucocerebrosidase, the pharma industry largely turned away from proteins and back toward small molecules that were easier to produce, more straightforward to optimize, and largely deliverable via convenient oral formulations. Today, however, with the rise of personalized medicine and true targeted therapies, protein-based drugs are back with a vengeance and can once again lay claim to being the hottest class of prospective drugs under development.
Similarly, monoclonal antibodies have gone from anticipated "magic bullets" in the early days… to extreme disappointments perhaps 15 years ago… to arguably the most versatile and lowest risk class of therapeutic proteins today. True, in the meantime the brainiacs in the lab figured out how to make these molecules fully human and to optimize their binding and other biochemical properties, thereby giving these drugs their chance to shine. But who could have predicted the prices that Big Pharma would pay in the last year or two for monoclonal-based companies? Or, maybe even more amazing, who'd have believed that a 27-year old company like Xoma would still be fighting the good fight as a standalone entity and still be working on developing antibody-based therapeutics? (Oh yeah, and still be selling around $3 a share.) Can the resurgence of the intellectually pleasing but largely commercially unsuccessful concept of immunoconjugates (perhaps with kinder, gentler payloads than previous toxins and radioisotopes) be far behind?
In the same type of ebb and flow, in the late '80s and early '90s, antisense-based drugs were supposed to open up a whole new era of translation targeted therapeutics. These molecules never lived up to their early promise, and were supplanted in the development pipeline by ribozymes (whatever happened to them?) and then by today's darlings, interfering RNA. And with just about everybody except Isis Pharmaceuticals having written off antisense as drugs, just after the new year CEO Stan Crooke goes and pulls off one of the biggest single-product deals of all time for its Phase III cholesterol candidate. Even more surprisingly, it turns out to be Genzyme – long known for having deep pockets but relatively short arms – that stepped up to pay something between $325MM and a mind-boggling $1.9 billion depending on how the BioBucks end up panning out.
Ask the Audience
It used to be that big crowds at H&Q equated to bullish sentiment for the sector, while smaller crowds portended a tough year ahead – kind of like the groundhog seeing its shadow in early February. This year, however, the crowds were intense, yet the sentiment definitely seemed dominated by doubt and apprehension. Lots of companies are filing to go public, but how many will actually make it out into the public markets (and at what price!) remains an open issue.
Speaking of the investor side of the business, has anybody else noticed certain parallels between the woes of the investment banks and those of Big Pharma? Waiting for the next shoe to drop in the sub-prime debacle is only a little more imminent than the upcoming patent expirations that threaten to cripple the growth of the pharmaceutical industry. And, while Elliott Spitzer was shaking the public's trust in the banking industry by publicly blowing the cover off the inherent conflicts between the buy and sell sides, Big Pharma was more quietly shooting itself in the communal foot by going from one of the most trusted industries in the world to one of the least. Also in parallel have been recent high-profile CEO departures in both fields, as well as significant layoffs from among the rank and file.
However things end up unfolding in 2008, including a little election that I understand is scheduled for early of November, it is definitely going to be a year characterized by the old but decidedly non-Chinese saying, "May you live in interesting times." I can barely wait until next year's H&Q to find out how things have played out.

Oxford charges up new electronic car sharing scheme
Paul Creeney
Environmentalists living in and around a 50-mile radius of Oxford can now opt into the country's first-ever electric car-sharing scheme. The Ecologist's Paul Creeney reports
If the number of existing and conventional car sharing schemes in the UK were to double there would be a third less traffic on the country's roads, where the bill for congestion is already running at £19 billion. And with electric vehicles running at just 15% of the cost of a petrol-fuelled vehicle (the cost of fully charging the battery is often less than £2) Oxford's pioneering electric car-sharing scheme should help bring the often-resisted concept of a more environmentally friendly electric car more firmly into the mainstream.
The project is a joint venture between the car rental company, Hertz and Chargemaster – the latter being a Europe-wide company specialising in the delivery of car charging points.
Under the new car-sharing scheme, 10 Nissan LEAF electronic cars have been made available for hire for an hourly rate of just £5. The cars can be booked by the hour, the day or the week and can be found in a variety of locations such as university campuses, station car parks and on selected streets.
The LEAFs - which stands for 'Leading Environmental Affordable Family', (and is not related to Linking Environment And Farming LEAF group) – are being hired out as part of the free Hertz 'On Demand' service which also allows users who have signed up to join other car sharing clubs throughout Europe, China and the United States.
Michel Taride, President of Hertz International, said: "Electric vehicles (EVs) are fun and exciting to drive, and the growing EV eco-system in Oxford should help encourage their use."
Cllr John Tanner, of Oxford City Council, said: "This fantastic investment in Oxford's low-carbon future brings electric cars within reach for thousands of Oxford people. It is excellent news for both local jobs and for the environment."
There are currently 64 charging points in Oxford, with another 50 planned within the city - and a further 100 within a 50-mile radius - over the next year.
Their installation comes as part of an improvement to the national EV (Electric Vehicle) charging network known as POLAR, which is expected to cover the 100 largest towns and cities within the United Kingdom by next year. Many of the charging points will allow drivers to 'fast charge' their cars at a rate twice as fast as the earlier standard chargers, with some offering a 'rapid charge' option that can recharge an electronic car battery in 20 minutes. A fully charged battery will usually power a car for around 100 miles, depending on factors such as the size of the battery and whether the radio is switched on.
Car makers are planning the launch of some 29 new kinds of electronic plug-in car and van models within the next 18 months. And with mainstream car companies such as Ford, Vauxhall and Renault releasing their own versions, the car industry predicts that by 2020 one car in every ten sold will run fully or partly on electricity.

High schoolers dig into SF history
Jill Tucker | SF Chronicle

school, moves dirt after excavating tiles from the former
conservatory in Sutro Heights Park Friday, September 28,
2012 in San Francisco, Calif.

A dozen San Francisco high school students huddled in the dripping fog, where a patch of dirt was a history classroom Friday as they uncovered their city's past buried under the lawn at Sutro Heights Park.
The archaeological dig exposed the nearly forgotten blue and white tiles of the old Sutro Conservatory, which opened with great fanfare nearly 130 years ago on land that is now part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.
The Ida B. Wells Continuation High students carefully brushed the dirt off the tiles, helping National Park Service archaeologists document the condition and size of the tiled area that bordered a large square of dirt.
For the 12 American democracy classmates, the field trip left dirt under their fingernails and a real sense of history in their hearts.
Senior Tuala Auimatagi, 17, wondered at the people, long dead, who laid the tiles so long ago.
"I just find it interesting because digging the tiles gives me an idea of what it looked like," she said as she brushed lingering dirt off the ceramic pieces, some upended by tree roots, others cracked or missing parts.
Until the late 1930s, the conservatory greenhouse stood on a small hill in the park above the Cliff House, a white wooden structure with walls of windows.
In a state of disrepair, it was torn down in 1939 along with the family home of Adolph Sutro, San Francisco's mayor from 1894 to 1898.
At some point, the tiled walkways were covered over with dirt and grass, mostly invisible to generations of picnickers and dog walkers.
Until this week.
For three days, Tuala and her classmates dug them out.
The activity was a service-learning project for the students, said their teacher Holly Friel.
It was also offering students a glimpse of career options in archaeology and in the Park Service as well a sense of civic involvement, linking the effort to the democratic principles she teaches in her class.
And perhaps more than that, it gave them a sense of pride in their work and their place in preserving San Francisco's history.
"We're a continuation high school," Friel said. "Students come here after not being successful at other high schools.
"This is a place where they can claim some responsibility. They can feel proud."
On Friday, tile border finally was fully exposed, some pieces cracked, others missing, with the layout then graphed to document the condition of the site.
With the excavation done, Park Service archaeologist Leo Barker gathered the students to ask them what they thought should be done with the tiles.
"You're going to save it now," he said, but did that mean leaving it exposed to the elements and the public or covering it up again to preserve it?
One student wanted to keep everything fully exposed, until Barker pointed out that some of it was crumbling and vulnerable to theft. Another student suggested putting a fence around it, which arguably would detract from the vast open space at the park, Barker said.
Tuala suggested covering part of it up, protecting the damaged area, but leaving some of it exposed so people could see it.
Another enthusiastic debate ensued about how much to cover up.
"Now you know what Congress has to deal with," Barker said laughing.
Finally, the students said they thought about 30 percent should remain exposed.
And that's when Barker told them they would spend the next hour or so piling the dirt back on the 70 percent.
"This is ridiculous," said Ashley Blackmon, 17. "You made us dig all that to put it back?"
Ashley and her classmates took one last look at the exposed tile and formed a bucket-line brigade to cover it up.
That was when they realized that they had seen a piece of history that few among the living would get to see.
"If I come to Ocean Beach, I'll know I uncovered the floor of the greenhouse," Tuala said. "We're part of Sutro's greenhouse."

El Ferrocarril de Sobral (EFS) fue el segundo ferrocarril de Ceará. Planificada para dar asistencia a la ciudad de Sobral durante los años de sequía entre 1877 y 1879. Su construcción fue iniciada en 1878 y alcanzó su primer punto final Ipu, en 1894. Actualmente estos ferrocarriles son operados por la Transnordestina Logística S.A.

Historia
Los primeros raíles fueron colocados el 26 de marzo de 1879, en Camocim y dos años después, el 15 de enero de 1881, fue inaugurado el primer tramo, con 24,50 kilómetros, uniendo el Puerto de Camocim con la ciudad de Granja. La ruta hasta Sobral inició sus operaciones el 31 de diciembre de 1882, siendo entonces inaugurada la estación de Sobral totalizando 128,92 kilómetros de ferrocarril. En 1894, el tramo de esta llega a Ipu

En 1909 comenzaron las construcciones de prolongación hasta la ciudad de Crateús, que llegaron ahí el 25 de enero de 1925. Durante su construcción diversos poblados se desarrollaron en los márgenes del ferrocarril, como la Villa de "Humaitá", que actualmente es la ciudad de Pires Ferreira que vio su nombre alterado para homenajear al constructor-jefe del ferrocarril, el piauiense: Dr. Antônio Sampaio Pires Ferreira.

El EFS fue arrendado a la South American Railway en 1910 y en 1915 pasó a la administración federal bajo el nombre de Red de Tráfico Cearense. En 1950 la conexión entre el EFS y el Ferrocarril de Baturité entró en operación. Con esto, el tramo entre Camocim y Sobral fue considerado un ramal, hasta su desactivación en 1977. Actualmente la línea de ferrocarril ha sido poco utilizada, limitándose al desplazamiento de algunos productos, hoy, la mayoría de las antiguas estaciones ferroviarias son consideradas patrimonios históricos de los municipios.

Los principales municipios atravesados por el ferrocarril son Sobral, Cariré, Reriutaba, Pires Ferreira, Ipú, Ipueiras, Nova Russas, Poranga y Crateús.

Personally, I blame McConnell for the ongoing shutdown as much as if not more than Trump. In order to shield Trump, he refuses to bring bills to the Senate that could end the stalemate. It would seem that there are enough votes to override a Trump veto, so McConnell is avoiding this very good possibility. He is not protecting the American people as he is sworn to do; he is not protecting the Republican party; and he is not protecting the Constitution. He is, however, protecting racist, nationalist and very dangerous policies.
There is another possibility also. Some one, somewhere suggested bribery/blackmail is the cause of his intransigence. Apparently, his wife, Elaine Chao, was appointed by Trump to the cabinet position of Secretary of Transportation. Is her job being threatened?
Why do his photos always make me thing there should be canary feathers attached to his mouth?
Meanwhile, I know many here do not listen to MSM outlets, so I would like to share a couple of clips that I thought were pretty good from the corporate media.
The meeting in the oval office when Trump states that he will be proud to shutdown the government should really be flooding FB, Twitter and all social media, lest people forget.
I worked in the community garden with the kids from the neighborhood where one of them asked me why everyone didn't have a community garden so that we could feed everyone. Good question. Wish I had a good answer. I find as time goes by, one of the benefits of not having a TV is that since there is only so much broadband width in my brain these days, I can reserve it for the small things I can do. It keeps me sane.
sustain enough variety in community gardens? There are also many people who are just not suited for this kind of endeavor. I kill house plants. Can you imagine what I would do to a garden?
But after I got involved in my neighborhoods coop, I was inspired to begin working with the kids in a community garden. I started out slowly helping others on their plots eventually earning my own. Fellow gardeners are always happy to help and answer questions. I was also able to get to know my neighbors in a very special way and enjoyed sharing some great stories.
Thanks for the MSNBC film clips.
I don't have a TV so don't get to see this kind of horrific comedy. Lawrence O'Donell performed a beautiful hatchet job on the Republicans. Even rather slow people should be able to understand what was going on. We are probably doomed but it helps if one sees the perpetrators suffer too.
The first clip also made me feel pretty good about Rep. Ocasio-Cortez. She is savvy and tough. The Democrats need more like her and fewer like Shumer and Pelosi even though Pelosi pulled off a coup by cancelling the speech. It's not as if we are going to miss any great oratory anyway.
it isn't plugged in. I do follow a lot of news on YouTube though and just kind of wander around watching stuff that catches my eye. With O'Donnell, I find he often picks up on points that I have missed. I don't always agree with him, but overall his pieces tend to be more factual than most reporters and his analysis is usually sound.
As I think the entire Congress needs a transfusion, I think a number of the new members need to be cloned. I agree with AOC's stance (which I believe was actually articulated by someone else, and she just agreed) that a good number of members of the Democratic party should be primaried (and of course the vast majority of Republicans..that is my opinion, she didn't say that).
Just read a story about Pelosi's new move. Bills will be introduced earmarking more funds for border security, tech and some stuff for points of entry, and for amnesty judges. Still no wall funds. Yay!
While I do not care for a lot of what she does, I am beginning to think she will be the perfect foil for Trump.
MSM is an acquired taste I think. I have to watch it day in and day out to develop a strong sense of "not listening" to the b.s., and it's mostly bull so what's the point? Takes a long time to consume all that media, I don't get it. I'd also rather be gardening, or at least watching a permaculture video, not MSnbc.
I take MSM in small doses.
I prefer my reality non-filtered, so I look at a lot of different sources, including MSM.
I do recommend the CJR site though. They have an interesting article on the Koch brothers funding a new crop of journalists (note that the recipients end up at right-wing outlets, yet the people interviewed claim that the Koch course in non-partisan). The Lesson: Critical thinking cannot be suspended no matter the source.
AOC's coverage is overall more positive than the drivel we are force fed each day regarding Trump. It may even help people to understand a few things...like marginal tax rates.
Yes, it takes a long time to wade through the swamp, but then I go play at other things while the information I have gathered percolates and is sifted in the back of my head.
They even get mentioned in the non commercial commercials. Pretty sure they fund PBS too, but don't have a link. Can't remember where I read that, quite a while back.
There are no good guys, when both "sides" have sold themselves to the highest bidder, who happily pays for propaganda oozing from both sides at all times.
I don't buy into the left team good, right team bad lie. It's propaganda, in and of itself. Obviously, it still works on lots of smart folks, though. Sad.
Did the Koch Brothers Buy NPR?
From what I can tell it is up-to-date as of 2018. I do not put full faith in fact checkers though.
I made a comment some time back (I think it was in the EB) about how people no longer see in shades of gray, only in black and white, or red and blue, or whatever extreme they want to use. Have to laugh though when Trump calls Pelosi the Radical Left.
I heard it with my own ears, but I never said "own". Good Lord!
They fund NPR via sponsorship. Probably PBS too. Koch Industries. It's actually said, aloud, on air.
Someone even started a Change.org petition 2 years ago.
as I do in all media. I vaguely remember an uproar claiming the Kochs (Every time! I keep misspelling their name with a k at the end. Must be subliminal.) had bought NPR, so I guess the piece was in response to that.
going to quit chalking up people's cooperation with Trump to blackmail?
It is apparently the fall back accusation for anyone who does anything to help Trump or anyone who supports Trump. People are also trying to push the narrative that Graham is being blackmailed.
Maybe it's projection from the Dem playbook antics?
Maybe the Dem establishment has pushed out a new set of talking points that are purely based on projection of what they do to others? Could that be why no one mentioning it is being ridiculed about CT?
