In the library. Took ibuprofen. Have the water and the snacks. Last night I brought chocolate but tonight? Tonight I brought a cheesestick, an apple, the chocolate, a peppermint brownie, and a little bag of cold chicken pesto pasta.
I also have a sign. I made it last night, after I google-chatted with Amy about how I really have no idea about the answers to the prompt for one of my final papers, cried a little, and then the Lord nudged my little heart into courage through this verse:
Proverbs 16:3~ Roll your works upon the Lord [commit and trust them wholly to Him; He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will, and] so shall your plans be established and succeed.
So I made a sign of it and propped it up on the computer.
I also have a schedule my friend Helen made me of how to finish everything for my finals. So many people have survived college! I will too, right?
I am so thankful that no matter how many times I say it, no matter how "normal" my struggles might be or "unimportant" as something like schoolwork might sound, the Lord is my helper. Even in this, the Holy Spirit reminds me of things I need to write or where to find information. He sits with me and talks with me and is the reason I can stay awake.
Tonight we had a Christmas party and we went caroling! If you have never been caroling before, you must do it! Take small children with you, small children make everything more fun. :) Sing fun songs and the kids will love it and your neighbors will LOVE it. Caleb started walking around singing: "Joy to da wooord, aaah da boys an guhhhs..." Yay for Christmas parties!

Sudan seem to be at the center of the world now, she is calling for political freedom and has created a global awareness of what it is like to fight for yourself in Africa. It is inevitably costly and come with scars, many of which may be irreparable. No one would pray and want to scale through such ordeal but there are times when it is just the cost and may appear the only way out. The crises in Sudan started in December 2018 when the price of bread tripled which led to a nationwide protest calling for the resignation of President Omar al-Bashir. The protest rocked on till April 2019 after a coup d'etat by the military which led the end of another African dictator and ushered in another iron fist, the very enforcer of the ancien regime.
The times have made the people of Sudan face their fears and they have found a way in these terrible times to get rid of the stereotype African syndrome – 'I no wan die, my mama build house, I get pikin' (I don't want to die, my mum has a house, I have children) And so many other sounding excuses to count in the reign of (conducive) tyranny and oppression.
Unfortunately, it was victory for the people per se but also, a transition from dictatorship to another face of terror. Though the Transitional Military Council claimed to intervene in the politics of Sudan to fulfill the will of the people. It appears it was just an opportunity for the men in khaki to take advantage of the times.
The military unwillingly to handover power to a democratic government change the course of the protest that began to take demonstrate against her pseudo-liberator. In response to these demonstrations; sorrow, tears and blood has been ushered to the present times of Sudan.
Schools, hospitals and health centres have been targeted, looted and destroyed. Health workers have been attacked simply for doing their job. Sudanese doctors put the toll at 118 dead and female doctors are victims of rape. The barbaric act seem to be in purpose to demoralize and destabilize the revolution and the aid of injured survivors.
The military in reprisal response to the demonstration shot live bullets at the demonstrators with the aim of quenching that will of the people. 100's of lives has been lost with over 40 bodies found at the Nile River.
The social structure and harmony of Sudan has been distraught with parents fearful of letting their children out of the house, and water, food and medicine shortages were putting children's health and wellbeing at risk. And also, there are rumors that children are been adopted for attacks. The latest unrest escalated when a raid on protesters sitting outside Khartoum's Defence Ministry saw dozens killed and hundreds injured.
It is pertinent to know that the mastermind behind the counter-revolution is reputed for such sinister act. He goes by the name, Mohammed Hamdan "Hemeti" Dagolo and is the vice-president of the Sudan's military ruling junta and likely the most powerful man in Sudan.
Hemeti, through the instrumentality of the Rapid Support Force which some have likened to Janjaweed or rather, view as the same but different reference has been suppressing the Sudanese revolution. Though there is international pressure to lighten the situation, Hemeti hasn't owe up to the atrocities of his special force and has shifted the blame for the unrest to the opposition whom he claims are disturbing the peace.
Hemeti has reincarnated the crisis of Darfur in Khartoum. He is also accused for genocide atrocities in the Darfur crises where Arab stock militia were cleansing ethnic African people and this time, he is re-exercising his acts. He is a hard nail to pull out of the wood because of his reputation for violence and his relations with Saudi Arabia.
Sudan has been accused of recruiting child soldiers that are fighting the Arabian war in Yemen and Hemeti has vowed to assist Mohammed bin Salman, the Saudi crowned Prince against all threats and attacks from Iran and Houthi militias. And of course, the favor must be returned.
It has been a tough period for the people of Sudan and this is clear indication that tyranny has nothing to offer but enslavement and oppression. It is a tough task for the people of Africa to liberate themselves for their oppressor coupled with external influence who nourish themselves from the oppression of the people.
A revolution can never be ill timed and will come to pass when the people can no longer take it. In such time, the revolution might experience hiccup and times might get worse but the fight continues. To the people of Sudan, keep riding. To the people of Africa, the time awaits.
A Luta continua, Vitória é certa

The two-day event (20 to 21 Nov) was attended by representatives of Mukim Association, NGOs, UKP4, donor institutions and academicians. The workshop event was intended to criticize and to advocate the Draft Provincial Law (Qanun) on Aceh's Spatial Plan, which will be approved by the Parliament of Aceh by the end of this year. The workshop has resulted following recommendations:
1. That spatial plan of Aceh does not yet balance the ecological, economical and social interests, therefore the needs for inclusion of articles in the draft law in terms of adjusting economic activities within ecological areas for not to disturb the areas protection functions; to evaluate companies abandoning their existing concessions; to add point e at the end of Paragraph 2 of the Article 47 with "Leuser Ecosystem as National Strategic Area" (in conjunction
with other Articles related to Leuser Ecosystem); to include Ulu Masen into Aceh Provincial Strategic Area (preparation for carbon stock); to include spatial plan of the area of mukim; to include wildlife corridor; to establish a special team to evaluate the development of economic zones that consider the environmental aspects;
2. Considering Water Catchment Areas, some steps are to be taken: to give directions in the management of water catchment areas based on the principles of local knowledge; reforestation;
3. Recommendations in the aspects of natural disaster, consisting of: data crosscheck with institutions holding disaster data such as soil sensitivity maps, wild life conflict and wildlife corridors; comprehensive review of the aspects of natural disaster of Aceh's spatial plan;
4. Concerning disharmony at national, provincial and district levels, following ssteps are recommended: academic studies on the harmonisation of the existing regulations at both central and provincial levels focusing in those related to Aceh's spatial plan, including considerate studies and profound studies.
Recommendations resulted from this workshop will be submitted to the provincial government and the Parliament of Aceh that are now "cooking" the spatial plan.
Meanwhile, Frans Siahaan from Asia Foundation addressed in his closing speech that until now this institution has no special program for Aceh. "We have yet no program for Aceh. But all that achieved together today can hopefully accepted as our starting commitment".
As for the speaker of KPHA, Efendi Isma, hoped that the recommendations resulted by the workshop participants can be useful for Aceh. "I will keep everyone updated. Thank you for the participation in these two days, hopefully this can become useful for Aceh," concluded Efendi Isma. (Arunda) RTRWA

NanoClick Assay: A High Throughput, Target-Agnostic Permeability Assay that Combines NanoBRET Technology with Intracellular Click Chemistry
Macrocyclic peptides open new opportunities to target intracellular protein–protein interactions, PPIs, that are often considered non-druggable by traditional small molecules. Specifically, peptides have the potential to bind to shallow and highly expansive binding surfaces, orthosteric blocking, of such PPIs and/or other unique allosteric binding sites. However, their clinical development may be limited by their ability to efficiently penetrate into cells to modulate their cognate PPI targets. The ability to have a predictive, high-throughput assay to assess cell permeability is a critical tool to enable peptide drug discovery programs.
We developed a high throughput, target-agnostic cell permeability assay that quantitates the cumulative cytosolic exposure of a peptide in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. The assay has been named 'NanoClick' as it combines in-cell copper-free Click chemistry and monitoring of a NanoBRET signal in cells. The assay is based on cellular expression of the NanoLuc-HaloTag system and relies on the Click reaction of azide-tagged peptides with DiBac-chloroalkane, CA, anchored to the HaloTag. Subsequent introduction of an azido-dye followed by the NanoLuc substrate allows the detection of a BRET signal that is reduced by the presence of azide-functionalized peptides in the cytosol. The readout can be expressed as a permeability ratio of EC50s when compared to the response of a low permeability control.
We validated the assay using known cell penetrating peptides, CPPs, and were further able to demonstrate correlations to cellular activity using a p53/MDM2 model system. The assay has been applied across several MRL drug discovery programs and has been instrumental to guide and establish Structure – Permeability Relationships in the optimization of macrocyclic peptides for cellular potency across intracellular PPI target programs.

The internet loves a clapback, so when writer Melissa Martin shared a few snappy responses from a monk named Daniel Kimura to less-than-positive reviews of a temple doubling as lodging on Mount Koya, Twitter embraced it. The tweet garnered more than 17,000 retweets and 38,000 likes, with many digitally swooning over the religious devotee's comebacks at tourists complaining about impersonal staff and bland food ("yeah, it's Japanese monastic cuisine, you uneducated f—").
It wasn't just journalists and rapper Talib Kweli applauding the monk. Plenty of foreign residents in Japan also shared it. Anecdotally, nearly a dozen Tokyo-based people I follow retweeted it the morning it emerged. I imagine far more did, too, mostly because few topics excite this demographic more than complaining about tourists.
This year has been a big one for "tourism pollution" in Japan as the number of folks coming to the nation keeps rising. Mount Koya's influx of foreign visitors already had monks salty before one took to Booking.com. Tourists have vandalized bamboo in Kyoto and taken pictures of people without their consent. The start of 2018 saw a double whammy of perceived bad behavior, first with Logan Paul's YouTube misadventures (he still hasn't quite learned from them) and that was followed by a fuss over a GoPro that was placed on a sushi conveyor belt.
The way Japanese netizens and online publications approach the tourist boom, however, looks different than how Japan's foreign residents and English-language media presents it. The discussion is more nuanced, with complaints balanced by concerns about how the country can better accommodate. This isn't to say negativity is left out of the picture, it just gets doled out differently.
Take the monk story. Despite going viral abroad, it drew scant attention among Japanese users online. Newsweek Japan wrote about it and several places aggregated the story (and at least one TV channel covered it), but it didn't go that far, with most prominent online outlets ignoring it. Even commentary on social media seemed slight, with those weighing in arguing that even if he had a point, the monk probably approached it the wrong way. Another monk noted he doesn't represent the whole mountain (while still respecting his opinion).
Foreign residents of Japan originally hailing from Western countries tend to view tourists in an especially negative light, with only weeaboos serving as a larger target for unified disdain (when the monk's identity and the fact he grew up in the United States became clear, the story felt much more familiar). Japanese netizens have reacted negatively to stories that irk their non-Japanese counterparts — the Kyoto vandalism story earlier this year got plenty talking — but their relationship to inbound visitors is more complicated. Tourism, after all, is booming and bringing in money … and it doesn't look like it will be stopping anytime soon.
A lot of daily discussion online focuses on how to improve the Japan experience for tourists. A takoyaki (octopus dumpling) stand in Osaka Park has attracted huge sales because of foreign visitors, but after it was found out they evaded paying taxes, some online said that charging ¥600 for eight balls was a rip-off aimed at tourists. Another recent Newsweek piece focused on declining satisfaction with the country. The Olympics rest heavy on many netizens' minds, with some wondering what happens when a country averse to tattoos sees many sporting them come in. Others simply celebrate translation services, or just wonder why certain spaces such as Oasis 21 in Nagoya attract so many overseas visitors.
When those online do complain, it comes in subtler ways. When the China-based idol group SNH48 (not affiliated with AKB48 — long story) put up ads in Akihabara, one Twitter user quipped "I thought this was already a city of foreigners?" Others complain about how the emphasis on "inbound" tourism ignores domestic travelers.
Some of the criticism also takes a look at the bigger picture. Kankō kōgai ("tourism pollution") has appeared a lot online this year, mostly in reference to Kyoto. A larger story that attracted attention came in spring, when Gendai published a piece about the city of Niseko turning into a place that didn't resemble Japan.
Still, when netizens talk — and moan — about tourism, they are still mostly talking about Chinese visitors to the country (which soon tips over into right-wing online spaces). However, this in and of itself isn't new, nor is it limited to Japan — it's just the perceived image of a tourist here.
Take a viral clip of several non-Japanese dancing on a train, for example. Tourism isn't really part of the discussion here. Instead, social media users are just questioning why people who don't appear to be from around here are acting in a way they aren't familiar with — something that has been happening for much longer than monks snapping back at backpackers.

Last week, 20th Century Fox unveiled the new red band trailer for Deadpool 2, chocked full of scenes with adult language, which is to be expected in this R-rated superhero adventure. The studio has now also released an all-ages green band trailer which cleans up the language, and removes a few scenes, including a particularly gruesome shot of the Merc With the Mouth getting his hand shot through, but it has also added a new scene where he takes a swipe at millennials. While it's certainly quite innocuous, it replaces a similarly tame scene from the first trailer.
The millennial jab comes towards the end of the trailer, where Deadpool delivers a speech about how "doing the right thing is messy" adding that sometimes you have to fight dirty, which supposedly ties into his final point, revealing, "and that is why the man-bun is just a millennial mullet." While the scene leading up to this revelation is the same in both trailers, in the red band trailer, Deadpool's final point was that, "The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants is pure pornography." The original scene is also quite humorous since Ryan Reynolds is essentially trolling his own wife, Blake Lively, with this statement, since she starred in The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants with Alexis Bleidel, Amber Tamblyn and America Ferrara.
This green band trailer also includes another new addition that wasn't in the red-band Deadpool trailer, a rather succinct 30-second recap of the first movie, which ends with Deadpool in full costume stating, "There, all caught up." There are also a few other slight changes, including the omission of a line where cabbie Dopinder (Karan Soni) admits he may have s--t his pants, plus another scene towards the beginning of the red band trailer where DP slices off an enemy's head with one of his swords, then kicks it off of his body. Also during the scene where Cable (Josh Brolin) first surfaces, Deadpool says, "What in the ass?" instead of, "What in the f--ksicle?" and a scene with "The Kid" (Julian Dennison) flashing both middle fingers at someone.
For whatever reason, they also omitted a line about Deadpool's "super-duper group" which he describes them as being, "tough, morally flexible and young enough to carry their own franchise for 10 to 12 years," instead describing them as "forward-thinking and gender neutral." This green band trailer also omits a line from Blind Al (Leslie Uggams) who says it's hard to hear Deadpool, "with that pity dick" in his mouth. The final change from the red band trailer to the green is, instead of Deadpool saying, "Let's get our f--k on" before jumping out of the airplane, he offers a callback from the first movie, simply stating, "Cue the music."
What's also interesting about Deadpool 2 is that it was once slated to be the second of three X-Men movies released by 20th Century Fox this year. The studio was first slated to release The New Mutants on April 13, followed by Deadpool 2 on June 1 and X-Men: Dark Phoenix on November 2. Then in January, the studio pushed The New Mutants from April 13 to February 22, 2019, and Deadpool from June 1 to May 18, and earlier today, the studio pushed The New Mutants to August 2, 2019 and Dark Phoenix from November 2, 2018 to February 14, 2019. Take a look at the new green band trailer for Deadpool 2 below, courtesy of 20th Century Fox YouTube, along with the age-restricted red band trailer as well.

LAKE FOREST – How can he not talk about it? It's not really possible to leave it out.
Despite all of the good the Bears did in 2018, it's the last image of the star crossed season remains the kick from Cody Parkey's foot smacking the post in the final minute of the game. It cost the Bears a shot to move onto the divisional round, led to Parkey's dismissal, and to an offseason of wondering who the kicker might be.
Yes, people are wondering. Moments like the one in the Wild Card game aren't soon forgotten and Matt Nagy made sure of that. On Sunday, the coach revealed that he'd made a video of that final moment in 2018 when a great season came to a crushing end.
"No elephant in the room, this is where we're at, this is what happened last year, this is gone now, how do we improve?" said Nagy. "That happened to be the last play of our season. So now, if you're a kicker in the room, you're going to feel uncomfortable. If you are a coach or a player in the room, you're going to feel uncomfortable.
"So let's go test it out now."
Hence the competition during the three-day rookie camp at Halas Hall was quite intense when it came to the kickers. It included attempts of that Parkey 43-yard field goal, which six of the eight kickers taking part in the weekend missed on Friday.
Those continued throughout the weekend, and by the end, only two of the eight kickers brought in still had a spot on the team: Chris Blewitt and Elliott Fry.
"It's been wild, but that's what they're trying to do," said Fry. "They're trying to create a competition. The media has been following this story for a while. With eight kickers here, you're trying to get the best guys available.
"So they're trying to put pressure, they're trying to do everything. But it was good, it was fun. Coming out and competing for three days."
Then on Monday, per a report from Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Bears have brought in yet another kicker thanks to a trade. Eddy Pineiro, who spent last training camp with the Raiders before being put on IR in September, comes to the Bears in exchange for a 2021 seventh-round pick.
He made his only three attempts of the preseason before being shut down for the year before the regular season began. During the 2016 and 2017 seasons at Florida, Pineiro made 38-of-43 kicks, including 29 of the last 30 he attempted for the Gators.
81 yarder with pads on. No excuses! Ready for the season to start🐊🏈@GatorsFB @FloridaGators pic.twitter.com/5IeZ0tXyhn
— Eddy Piñeiro (@EddyPineiro) May 2, 2017
Pineiro earned some notoriety when he hit an 81-yard field goal in practice with the Gators in May of 2017.
So for the moment, it's these three kickers that will contend for the spot that was vacated by Parkey following his forgettable playoff moment. Make no mistake, the Bears won't be afraid to put pressure on their kickers, so they'll be ready for moments like last January in 2019.
But will all of this, from the tryouts to the Pineiro trade produce the Bears' Week 1 kicker?
"That's a great question, I feel strongly that it will happen, but again, I don't know," said Nagy when asked if this process would help the Bears find their first-week kicker. "There's so many things that can go on between now and the start of the season that I wish I could tell you 'I knew this was going to happen.'"

(Reuters) - Gold prices firmed in Europe on Thursday, recovering some of the previous session's hefty losses, as the euro steadied near 10-month lows against the dollar, removing some downward pressure from the precious metal.
Spot gold was bid at $1,093.65 an ounce at 1031 GMT, against $1,086.50 late in New York on Wednesday. U.S. gold futures for April delivery on the COMEX division of the New York Mercantile Exchange rose $4.70 to $1,093.50 an ounce.
The precious metal fell to a six-week low of $1,084.85 an ounce on Wednesday as the euro tumbled more than 1 percent versus the dollar, but has met with good buying interest as prices fell, traders said.
"We are still seeing safe haven buying of small coins and bars, and as prices drop we see good physical demand in general, which is absorbing some selling in the market," said Commerzbank senior trader Michael Kempinksi.
"Without the safe-haven idea, gold would already be much lower," he added.
Dealers reported physical demand for gold in India, the world's biggest bullion consumer, rose after prices fell to attractive levels, as traders resumed buying to stock up for the wedding season that begins in April.
"The focus for the euro remains on Greece," said Credit Agricole in a note. "The two-day EU Summit starts today with muted hope that it will result in a clear and euro-friendly resolution of the situation."
"The message that should resonate through the summit is that the risk of negative fiscal sentiment spreading across the euro zone has not gone away and remains a threat to the euro."
Among other commodities, oil prices turned higher, reversing some of their earlier losses.
Silver tracked gold higher, rising to $16.73 an ounce from $16.53. Platinum was at $1,587 an ounce against $1,577, while palladium was at $439 against $442.50.
Both platinum group metals have taken support from expectations for a recovery in car demand this year. Platinum and palladium are chiefly used in autocatalysts.
Investment demand is also expected to support prices after a subsidiary of London's ETF Securities launched U.S.-based platinum and palladium exchange-traded funds earlier this year.
ETFs issue securities backed by physical stocks of a given asset, and have represented a significant source of demand for precious metals in recent years.
"Two-way trade has been seen this morning but both (platinum and palladium) are likely to find continued dip buying interest as investment and industrial demand tightens market fundamentals," said TheBullionDesk.com analyst James Moore.
"Available data suggest U.S. ETF holdings in platinum and palladium have increased around 20,000 ounces over the past 48 hours," he said
Update I....confusion in the miners sector with the weak tape indicates further sector rotation that has more to do with window dressing and low level accumulation by the boyz. This can continue for months. Now to the issue all retail traders encounter in a prolonged accumulation.....boredom...That is the goal of consolidation. Eventually they bleed you out of your shares....weak hands to strong... Be AWARE. We should see some more weakness so relax. Watch for that volume increase on a nice reversal day.....maybe like in feb. when overall market was red and miners were green. Play smart and don't be a retail schmuck.
updateII Nice technical look at the gold charts and tend to confirm my suspicions that I mentioned yesterday that gold and miners will want to at least try and retest the Feb lows...but of course these are only guesses.
update III 1915....."We are at a tipping point"....listen closely especially last half....great info.
update IV 2020 Ouch this hurts

Morpho (Safran) has launched a new series of biometric access control and time and attendance solutions at this year's ASIS conference. Available in two designs, the new devices are part of the company's MorphoAccess (MA) SIGMA product line.
Called MA SIGMA Lite and MA SIGMA Lite+, the new fingerprint terminals are designed to be easily equipped to mounting surfaces such as turnstiles, server rack doors, glass or aluminum door mullions, and so on. One of the models features an LED indicator to help guide users through its access control configurations, while the other features a color touchscreen as its user interface. Both are capable of scanning up to 250,000 users for one-to-one matching, and 10,000 users for one-to-many biometric identification, and they use a web server for configuration, allowing administrators to set them up via tablet, laptop, or smartphone.
The MA SIGMA Lite models are a fitting complement to the MA SIGMA series, which the company first launched at ASIS back in 2013. While they can be used in new deployments, they are highly compatible with preexisting Bioscrupt and Morpho installations; in a statement, Morpho Security Executive VP Samuel Fringant explained that with the company's delivery of "readers suitable for renewing legacy installations, complementing deployments of MA SIGMA stations or securing brand new facilities, Morpho reaffirms its commitment to give its customers access to the latest refinements of its technology, whatever the situation."

About Me
That's me in 2018. About five years deep into riding bikes. I started out with a hybrid bike in 2013 and rode it for a couple hundred miles until I upgraded to a $400 road bike. It was clunky and weighed a lot but it was faster than the hybrid. I wanted more speed. I've always been kind of a junkie when it comes to biking. I'm always looking for the next thing to get my heart racing.
In 2015 I grew bored of simply riding local trails so I started riding RAGBRAI in Iowa. Of course, takes place during the hottest part of July each year. RAGBRAI was and still is the highlight of summer for me. It opened up a whole new world of biking. After my second ride across Iowa I upgraded bikes and starting taking this stuff a little more seriously. I started riding with a jersey on instead of no shirt, taking on rides longer than 25 miles at a time, and growing my yearly mileage totals into the quadruple digits.
Eventually I still wanted more to challenge myself. Last summer I entered my first actual race. It was a beginner criterium event. I loved it. I bought a cyclocross bike later in the summer to allow myself to branch out and experience other racing styles. I did a handful of cyclocross races last fall and might be most excited for that season to return again this year. As soon as spring 2019 hit I got a different set of tires and took to gravel roads. That brings us to present day.
With less than a year of competitive cycling under my bibs I've covered road, dirt, mud, grass, and gravel but that doesn't flow as well as simply "road and gravel". So here we are. I'm not new to riding a bike but I'm completely new to the racing side of the sport. I started this blog to share my stories as I try to move up in cycling and also do my part to grow the sport in the Midwest. It will all be slow going but I've got plenty of time.

The practice of Yoga will bring a positive change in mind and attitude, increased energy levels and the ability to focus on what is required by setting aside distracting thoughts in trainees. At SIUD, Yoga session is conducted early morning 06.00AM to 07.00AM. All the trainees are instructed to attend the session.
In addition to its intrinsic value, culture provides important social and economic benefits. With improved learning and health, increased tolerance, and opportunities to come together with others, culture enhances our quality of life and increases overall well-being for both individuals and communities. At SIUD, Cultural activities like Music, Dance, The atre, Literacy Event, Fine Arts and others are conducted during the Common Foundation Courses and week long courses.
Sports develop a sense of friendliness among the trainees and develop their team spirit. Sports build character and social skills like teamwork, cooperation and leadership. Develop higher self esteem and body image. At SIUD, Sports activities like Indoor games like Carrom, Chess, Badminton, Basketball, Table Tennis and outdoor games like Running, Cricket, Volleyball are encouraged.
At SIUD, other activities like, presentations, Model Presentations, Study Visits are organised during the course of common foundation training.
Photo exhibition
There are numerous benefits in organizing an exhibition for trainees. Exhibitions provide the trainees with a large platform to showcase their talent and also learn about the wide spectres of latest initiatives and innovations. At SIUD, Photo Exhibitions are organised during the specific training programmes / awareness programmes.
Model exhibition
The exhibition focuses on the identification, display, and interpretation of collective things. Talking about the exhibition in the training process of teaching and learning, the exhibition is a test of the faculties as well as the trainees and their combined learning process. At SIUD, Model Exhibitions are organised in the technical training programmes and common foundation training programmes.

Dalbello Kyra 85
2019 Women's Comfort Boot
"It's like butter!" remarked one tester about the Kyra 85's flex. All of the testers agreed that this cabrio boot was downright squishy in walk mode but held its own while skiing, providing great performance without a fight. It was also resoundingly comfortable, one tester noted you'll likely forget you're wearing these boots until long after the lifts stop spinning (luckily you can swap the soles if they get worn out).

Horned Grebe on the 6th of Jan at the south end of Wrightsville which will be my go to beach spot now.
Surf Scoter on the same day.
On the 8th of Jan, I checked a retention pond on the way to dropping Luke off at school and ran into some good birds for the patch. Unfortunately the light was crap, but I couldn't resist as it's not every day you can get 3 species of heron/egret in one frame.
Little Blue, Snowy and Great Egret.
Redhead and Hooded Mergs in the same pond.
Same combo as above but with a young white Little Blue Heron.
Swamp Sparrow from Wade Park on Jan 9.
Temperatures dropped the next morning and my neighbor one neighborhood away called me and told me birds were feeding like crazy at his feeders so I had to go and do some geri-birding while I took a conference call. It didn't take long before my target showed up.
Western Tanager
Baltimore Oriole
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker
Success with the tanager got my juices flowing so I thought why not take a trip to Airlie and try my luck.
Eastern Bluebird
Yellow-crowned Night-heron - this youngun has been hanging out with 40 or so Black-crowned NHs for a couple weeks at least. Look at those long legs!
Tiny spots on coverts...
Blue Jay
Belted Kingfisher
On Saturday I went back to my go-to circuit from the South end of Wrightsville to Airlie Gardens.
Ring-billed Gull. One of these days I will find a Mew Gull, then who will be laughing...?
Common Loon - one of the few birds with common in the name that are actually common.
Ruddy Turnstone firmly in the patch.
Bonaparte's Gull
Barred Owl not cooperating and looking at some Blue Jays.
Gadwall showing his true colors.
Yellow-throated Warbler with a spider treat.
Orange-crowned Warbler
Blue-headed Vireo
Dinosaur glare.
Sunday I performed the same ritual....
Bony on the south side.
Double-crested Cormorant on left and Great Cormorant on right.
Common Loon
And back at Airlie.... I am really flogging this patch for all it's worth.
Black-crowned Night-heron
Youngun - note the bigger spots compared to the YC Night-heron from above.
Hermit Thrush
Tricolored Heron
And finally the cherry on top, this last Saturday, I chased the continuing Cinnamon Teal at Alligator NWR and it was easily found when I pulled up. It helped that about 15 cars full of Carolina Bird Club enthusiasts were already gawking at it.
State bird 398 for me... and a nice drake at that! Not that I have anything against the ladies. It was super far but this in flight photo was not half bad.
At the time I didn't note any Blue-winged Teal, but now that I look at my pics a female in flight was picked out. See right sided bird in flight.
Not every day in NC can you get an Eurasian Green-winged Teal (soon to be a new species) and a Cinnamon Teal in the same pic. The most left hand bird with a horizontal strip is the Eurasian and the far most bird is the Cinnamon.
Northern Shoveler at ANWR.
Northern Pintail
Since I was already out of patch, I hit up some other spots including Jeanette's Pier which didn't produce any decent photos and finally ended the day at the continuing Golden-crowned Sparrow stakeout in Harbinger, NC.
GC Sparrow
DICK - one of the best 4 letter band codes for birds (Dickcissel).
I love birds.... without birds and family I would be a lost soul.
Can't wait to get out again.. as I write this it is pouring outside. However, I am slated for a pelagic for Saturday!!!

Here are its top benefits:
- Easy to make, use and store.
- All natural and herbal ingredients
- Safe for people of all age groups
- Cleanses teeth and gums effectively!
- As this is stored dry and there are no wet ingredients, it does not expire!
Here is a recipe for this natural herbal toothpaste:
Things you need-
- 3 tablespoon neem powder or bentonite clay – cleanses and polishes
- 1/8 teaspoon seasalt or baking soda – removes plague
- ¼ teaspoon spirulina – is green, algae-like plant called a cyanobacteria, and it's one of the highest protein and nutrient sources of food available.
- Few of pure peppermint essential oil for flavour (optional)
- Pure, distilled water or pure coconut oil – ( to make the herbal powder into a paste )
- Simply mix your ingredients together and store in a glass container with a shaker lid. Spice jars work perfectly for this.
- Simply take some in your palm and add few drops water or pure coconut oil to make a thick paste. Dip your toothbrush in it and brush as usual.

- For this year, the district abandoned its normal textbook-review process and adopted the new engageny math modules sight-unseen. (engageny)
- Engageny math is still being written; the district is downloading units as they're posted to the web.
- The Engageny "modules" have not been field-tested. Irvington teachers and children are first adopters &, thus, are serving as test subjects.
- Kids in higher grades (3rd & 4th) have gaps in their math knowledge because engageny & Math Trailblazers don't match, but no one in the school can identify the children's gaps, and no one has a plan to remedy the gaps.
- The district has never had a "scope and sequence" of knowledge and skills students learn in each grade, so administrators don't know what the kids know — and they have no simple means of comparing engageny math to the math that children have been learning here.
- It was clear last Thursday night that administrators can't fix the problem. None of them is expert in math; they don't know what a proper sequence of math instruction is. Nor should they: no one can know everything about every subject. Normally "pedagogical content knowledge" (what to teach & when & how) is "purchased" when we adopt the best math textbook series we can find.
- The solution, for now, is to drop engageny (or delay its adoption) and replace it either with the old Trailblazers books or with an 'emergency adoption' of Saxon Math, the single most teacher-friendly math textbook on the market. (Here's the homeschool edition.) UPDATE 11/9/2013: Or, better yet, we should do an emergency adoption of Singapore Math. Engageny math is, to some degree, modeled on Singapore Math, but Singapore Math has been field-tested and revised over many years' time, and its Scope and Sequence can be understood by administrators, teachers, and parents alike.
- Any teacher (& any parent) can pick up a Saxon Math textbook and teach math today. I know this because I chose Saxon when I realized I needed to re-teach my son 4th grade math. I hadn't taken a math course since college, and I successfully used Saxon immediately to teach my son and re-teach myself.
- An emergency adoption of Saxon would mean that this year serves as the pilot of Saxon; next fall the district could pilot Singapore Math (& perhaps engageny math, if we have good word on engageny from other districts).
- Other children, in other districts, should serve as test subjects for engageny math, not ours.
- For the time being, we can't worry about the new Common Core tests. We have Trailblazers kids in a Common Core world; that's the reality. (If we had Singapore Math kids — real Singapore Math, not Dobbs Ferry Singapore Math — in a Common Core world, things would be different. But we don't.) The state requires kids to take the tests, and that's fine: we should treat the results as information about gaps and proceed from there.
- We have $2.16 million dollars in the fund balance to use for 'emergencies'; this should be seen as an emergency. Once kids develop gaps in math, it is very difficult for them to catch up to peers who have had a coherent math education. Our family knows this from direct personal experience.

What's important to notice here is that Irvington teacher wages, which will increase at an average rate of 4% a year for the next 4 years, are likely to pull away from taxpayer wages.
NOTE: In the chart above, I have assumed the following percent increase in wages each year:
- 4% for Irvington teachers
- 1.1% for state and local government employees
- 1.9% for private sector employees
If that assumption holds true, the gap between the blue line on top and the green and red lines down below will grow wider.
• Average teacher compensation IUFSD
• Wages & Salaries: Private Industry Workers (FRED)
• Wages & Salaries: State and Local Govt (FRED)
• 4 is not 2
(click on images to enlarge)
Quick note for people who feel they're not good at math: These graphs show the percent change in people's wages from the year before.
The figure 7.5%, on the left side of both graphs, means that in 2006 the "average" Irvington teacher received a 7.5% increase in salary over what he or she earned in 2005. That same year, the "average" employee of state and local government received a pay increase of 2.8%, while the "average" private sector employee received an increase of 2.5%.
To make things simple (I tutor pre-algebra – !):
Suppose it's 2005, and we have three workers: a teacher in Irvington, a person working in the private sector, and another person working for state and/or local government.
Let's say that each worker earns $100,000 for that year's labor.
Here's how things change the next year, 2006:
- Irvington teacher now earns: $107,500.
- State and local government worker now earns: $102,800
- Private sector worker now earns: $102,500
The year after that (2007), here's the situation:
- Irvington teacher now earns: 115,562.50
- State and local government worker now earns: $106,706.40
- Private sector worker now earns: $106,087.50
After just two years, the Irvington teacher is pulling decisively ahead of both the private sector and the government employee – and this difference continues to compound over time.
The gap gets wider.
Arguably, the two graphs above tell our story.
First of all, by way of background, until very recently no one knew what the average teacher compensation actually was. Proposed budgets were extremely difficult to decipher, and the district flatly refused to tell voters – or the one board member who asked – what the average teacher was being paid. Contracts had to be FOILed, and the salary schedule was not published.
Average teacher salary was the one figure many people needed in order to make sense of the situation. Most of us aren't accountants, and the arithmetic of percent increases and compounding over time isn't intuitive.
All of that said, here is the story I think these charts tell:
- Prior to the crash, the district was paying salary increases to teachers that were in all likelihood far above the salary increases many or most Irvington taxpayers were receiving.
- After the crash, in a depressed economy, the district is still paying salary increases at least double what workers in the private sector are receiving (assuming they still have jobs) and nearly 4 times as large as the increases government workers are receiving (again, assuming the government worker still has a job).
- Irvington voters may have failed to notice just how large the district's annual pay increases were in part because the annual increase in home value was even higher. We were in the midst of a boom, and (almost) everyone was getting richer. The financial reality of district budgets failed to register on voters (and the details of the budget were obfuscated by the administration).
- The crash changed everything. Home prices are now far below the level they were when voters were funding 7.5% wage increases and voting 'yes' on bonds.
- For their part, although Irvington teachers are still receiving annual raises double that of most taxpayers' annual raises, they also, between 2008 and 2009, suffered a far steeper drop in their annual wage increase than private or government workers: from 7.5 to 4.5 on the day the 2006-2009 contract expired. Their increase decreased more. That matters greatly. People make financial decisions on the basis of projected future income, and suddenly, virtually overnight, teachers' projected future income changed dramatically.
- Thus teachers feel they have made unprecedented concessions during negotiations for the new contract, while taxpayers feel they can't afford to fund 4% pay increases when they themselves aren't receiving anything close to 4% pay increases and the value of their homes has tanked.
Both are right.
• Wages & Salaries: Private Industry Workers (FRED)
• Wages & Salaries: State and Local Govt (FRED)
• 4 is not 2
• Average pension for new retirees: 2011
• Compare and contrast: IBM raises & benefits

Observing and Seeing Nature
One of my favorite pastimes is finding interesting writings concerning our school subjects that have been written by authors of the past century who really knew the art of writing and vocabulary! I started reading this chapter about studying nature and fell in love with this author's voice! "Leaf and Tendril" was written in 1908 by John Burroughs, a naturalist from the late 1800s and you can read it in totality at this link!
I DO not purpose to attempt to tell my reader how to see things, but only to talk about the art of seeing things, as one might talk of any other art. One might discourse about the art of poetry, or of painting, or of oratory, without any hope of making one s readers or hearers poets or painters or orators.
The science of anything may be taught or acquired by study; the art of it comes by practice or inspiration. The art of seeing things is not some thing that may be conveyed in rules and precepts; it is a matter vital in the eye and ear, yea, in the mind and soul, of which these are the organs. I have as little hope of being able to tell the reader how to see things as I would have in trying to tell him how to fall in love or to enjoy his dinner. Either he does or he does not, and that is about all there is of it. Some people seem born with eyes in their heads, and others with buttons or painted marbles, and no amount of science can make the one equal to the other in the art of seeing things. The great mass of mankind are, in this respect, like the rank and file of an army: they fire vaguely in the direction of the enemy, and if they hit, it is more a matter of chance than of accurate aim. But here and there is the keen-eyed observer; he is the sharpshooter; his eye selects and discriminates, his purpose goes to the mark.
Even the successful angler seems born, and not made; he appears to know instinctively the ways of trout. The secret is, no doubt, love of the sport. Love sharpens the eye, the ear, the touch; it quickens the feet, it steadies the hand, it arms against the wet and the cold. What we love to do, that we do well. To know is not all; it is only half. To love is the other half. Wordsworth s poet was contented if he might enjoy the things which others understood. This is generally the attitude of the young and of the poetic nature. The man of science, on the other hand, is contented if he may understand the things that others enjoy: that is his enjoyment. Contemplation and absorption for the one; investigation and classification for the other. We probably all have, in varying degrees, one or the other of these ways of enjoying Nature: either the sympathetic and emotional enjoyment of her which the young and the artistic and the poetic temperament have, or the enjoyment through our knowing faculties afforded by natural science, or, it may be, the two combined, as they certainly were in such a man as Tyndall.
But nothing can take the place of love. Love is the measure of life: only so far as we love do we really live. The variety of our interests, the width of our sympathies, the susceptibilities of our hearts if these do not measure our lives, what does? As the years go by, we are all of us more or less subject to two dangers, the danger of petrifaction and the danger of putrefaction ; either that we shall become hard and callous, crusted over with customs and conventions till no new ray of light or of joy can reach us, or that we shall become lax and disorganized, losing our grip upon the real and vital sources of happiness and power. Now, there is no preservative and antiseptic, nothing that keeps one s heart young, like love, like sympathy, like giving one s self with enthusiasm to some worthy thing or cause.
If I were to name the three most precious resources of life, I should say books, friends, and nature; and the greatest of these, at least the most constant and always at hand, is nature. Nature we have always with us, an inexhaustible store house of that which moves the heart, appeals to the mind, and fires the imagination, health to the body, a stimulus to the intellect, and joy to the soul. To the scientist Nature is a storehouse of facts, laws, processes; to the artist she is a storehouse of pictures; to the poet she is a storehouse of images, fancies, a source of inspiration; to the moralist she is a storehouse of precepts and parables; to all she may be a source of knowledge and joy.
There is nothing in which people differ more than in their powers of observation. Some are only half alive to what is going on around them. Others, again, are keenly alive: their intelligence, their powers of recognition, are in full force in eye and ear at all times. They see and hear every thing, whether it directly concerns them or not. They never pass unseen a familiar face on the street; they are never oblivious of any interesting feature or sound or object in the earth or sky about them. Their power of attention is always on the alert, not by conscious effort, but by natural habit and disposition. Their perceptive faculties may be said to be always on duty. They turn to the outward world a more highly sensitized mind than other people. The things that pass before them are caught and individualized instantly. If they visit new countries, they see the characteristic features of the people and scenery at once. The impression is never blurred or confused. Their powers of observation suggest the sight and scent of wild animals; only, whereas it is fear that sharpens the one, it is love and curiosity that sharpens the other. The mother turkey with her brood sees the hawk when it is a mere speck against the sky; she is, in her solicitude for her young, thinking of hawks, and is on her guard against them. Fear makes keen her eye. The hunter does not see the hawk till his attention is thus called to it by the turkey, because his interests are not endangered; but he outsees the wild creatures of the plain and mountain, the elk, the antelope, and the mountain-sheep, he makes it his business to look for them, and his eyes carry farther than do theirs.
We may see coarsely and vaguely, as most people do, noting only masses and unusual appearances, or we may see finely and discriminat ingly, taking in the minute and the specific. In a collection of stuffed birds, the other day, I ob served that a wood thrush was mounted as in the act of song, its open beak pointing straight to the zenith. The taxidermist had not seen truly. The thrush sings with its beak but slightly elevated. Who has not seen a red squirrel or a gray squirrel running up and down the trunk of a tree? But probably very few have noticed that the position of the hind feet is the reverse in the one case from what it is in the other. In descending they are extended to the rear, the toe-nails hooking to the bark, checking and controlling the fall. In most pictures the feet are shown well drawn up under the body in both cases.
People who discourse pleasantly and accurately about the birds and flowers and external nature generally are not invariably good observers. In their walks do they see anything they did not come out to see? Is there any spontaneous or unpremeditated seeing? Do they make discoveries? Any bird or creature may be hunted down, any nest discovered, if you lay siege to it; but to find what you are not looking for, to catch the shy winks and gestures on every side, to see all the by-play going on around you, missing no significant note or movement, penetrating every screen with your eye-beams that is to be an observer ; that is to have " an eye practiced like a blind man s touch, * a touch that can distinguish a white horse from a black, a detective eye that reads the faintest signs. When Thoreau was at Cape Cod, he noticed that the horses there had a certain muscle in their hips inordinately developed by reason of the in secure footing in the ever-yielding sand. Thoreau s vision at times fitted things closely. During some great fete in Paris, the Empress Eugenie and Queen Victoria were both present. A reporter noticed that when the royal personages came to sit down, Eugenie looked behind her before doing so, to see that the chair was really there, but Victoria seated herself without the backward glance, knowing there must be a seat ready: there always had been, and there always would be, for her. The correspondent inferred that the incident showed the difference between born royalty and hastily made royalty. I wonder how many persons in that vast assembly made this observation; probably very few. It denoted a gift for seeing things.
If our powers of observation were quick and sure enough, no doubt we should see through most of the tricks of the sleight-of-hand man. He fools us because his hand is more dexterous than our eye. He captures our attention, and then commands us to see only what he wishes us to see.
In the field of natural history, things escape us because the actors are small, and the stage is very large and more or less veiled and obstructed. The movement is quick across a background that tends to conceal rather than expose it. In the printed page the white paper plays quite as important a part as the type and the ink; but the book of nature is on a different plan: the page rarely presents a contrast of black and white, or even black and brown, but only of similar tints, gray upon gray, green upon green, or drab upon brown.
By a close observer I do not mean a minute, cold-blooded specialist,
" a fingering slave, One who would peep and botanize Upon his mother s grave," -
but a man who looks closely and steadily at nature, and notes the individual features of tree and rock and field, and allows no subtle flavor of the night or day, of the place and the season, to escape him. His senses are so delicate that in his evening walk he feels the warm and the cool streaks in the air, his nose detects the most fugitive odors, his ears the most furtive sounds. As he stands musing in the April twilight, he hears that fine, elusive stir and rustle made by the angleworms reaching out from their holes for leaves and grasses; he hears the whistling wings of the woodcock as it goes swiftly by him in the dusk; he hears the call of the killdee come down out of the March sky; he hears far above him in the early morning the squeaking cackle of the arriving blackbirds pushing north; he hears the soft, prolonged, lulling call of the little owl in the cedars in the early spring twilight; he hears at night the roar of the distant waterfall, and the rumble of the train miles across the country when the air is "hollow;" before a storm he notes how distant objects stand out and are brought near on those brilliant days that we call " weather-breeders." When the mercury is at zero or lower, he notes how the passing trains hiss and simmer as if the rails or wheels were red-hot. He reads the subtle signs of the weather. The stars at night forecast the coming day to him; the clouds at evening and at morning are a sign. He knows there is the wet-weather diathesis and the dry-weather diathesis, or, as Goethe said, water affirmative and water negative, and he interprets the symptoms accordingly. He is keenly alive to all outward impressions. When he descends from the hill in the autumn twilight, he notes the cooler air of the valley like a lake about him; he notes how, at other seasons, the cooler air at times settles down between the mountains like a vast body of water, as shown by the level line of the fog or the frost upon the trees.
The modern man looks at nature with an eye of sympathy and love where the earlier man looked with an eye of fear and superstition. Hence he sees more closely and accurately; science has made his eye steady and clear. To a hasty traveler through the land, the farms and country homes all seem much alike, but to the people born and reared there, what a difference! They have read the fine print that escapes the hurried eye and that is so full of meaning. Every horizon line, every curve in hill or valley, every tree and rock and spring run, every turn in the road and vista in the landscape, has its special features and makes its own impression.
Scott wrote in his journal: "Nothing is so tire some as walking through some beautiful scene with a minute philosopher, a botanist, or a pebble- gatherer, who is eternally calling your attention from the grand features of the natural picture to look at grasses and chuckie-stanes." No doubt Scott s large, generous way of looking at things kindles the imagination and touches the sentiments more than does this minute way of the specialist. The nature that Scott gives us is like the air and the water that all may absorb, while what the specialist gives us is more like some particular element or substance that only the few can appropriate. But Scott had his specialties, too, the specialties of the sportsman : he was the first to see the hare s eyes as she sat in her form, and he knew the ways of grouse and pheasants and trout. The ideal ob server turns the enthusiasm of the sportsman into the channels of natural history, and brings home a finer game than ever fell to shot or bullet. He too has an eye for the fox and the rabbit and the migrating water-fowl, but he sees them with loving and not with murderous eyes.
So far as seeing things is an art, it is the art of keeping your eyes and ears open. The art of nature is all in the direction of concealment. The birds, the animals, all the wild creatures, for the most part try to elude your observation. The art of the bird is to hide her nest; the art of the game you are in quest of is to make itself invisible. The flower seeks to attract the bee and the moth by its color and perfume, because they are of service to it; but I presume it would hide from the excursionists and the picnickers if it could, because they extirpate it.
Power of attention and a mind sensitive to outward objects, in these lies the secret of seeing things. Can you bring all your faculties to the front, like a house with many faces at the doors and windows; or do you live retired within yourself, shut up in your own meditations? The thinker puts all the powers of his mind in reflection : the observer puts all the powers of his mind in perception; every faculty is directed outward; the whole mind sees through the eye and hears through the ear. He has an objective turn of mind as opposed to a subjective. A person with the latter turn of mind sees little. If you are occupied with your own thoughts, you may go through a museum of curiosities and observe nothing.
Of course ones powers of observation may be cultivated as well as anything else. The senses of seeing and hearing may be quickened and trained as well as the sense of touch. Blind persons come to be marvelously acute in their powers of touch. Their feet find the path and keep it. They come to know the lay of the land through this sense, and recognize the roads and surfaces they have once traveled over. Helen Keller reads your speech by putting her hand upon your lips, and is thrilled by the music of an instrument through the same sense of touch. The perceptions of school-children should be trained as well as their powers of reflection and memory. A teacher in Connecticut, Miss Aiken, whose work on mind-training I commend to all teachers, has hit upon a simple and ingenious method of doing this. She has a revolving black board upon which she writes various figures, numbers, words, sentences, which she exposes to the view of the class for one or two or three seconds, as the case may be, and then asks them to copy or repeat what was written. In time they become astonishingly quick, especially the girls, and can take in a multitude of things at a glance. Detectives, I am told, are trained after a similar method; a man is led quickly by a show-window, for in stance, and asked to name and describe the objects he saw there. Life itself is of course more or less a school of this kind, but the power of concentrated attention in most persons needs stimulating. Here comes in the benefit of manual-training schools. To do a thing, to make something, the powers of the mind must be focused. A boy in building a boat will get something that all the books in the world cannot give him. The concrete, the definite, the discipline of real things, the educational values that lie here, are not enough appreciated.
The book of nature is like a page written over or printed upon with different-sized characters and in many different languages, interlined and cross- lined, and with a great variety of marginal notes and references. There is coarse print and fine print; there are obscure signs and hieroglyphics. We all read the large type more or less appreciatively, but only the students and lovers of nature read the fine lines and the footnotes. It is a book which he reads best who goes most slowly or even tarries long by the way. He who runs may read some things. We may take in the general features of sky, plain, and river from the express train, but only the pedestrian, the saunterer, with eyes in his head and love in his heart, turns every leaf and peruses every line. One man sees only the migrating water-fowls and the larger birds of the air; another sees the passing kinglets and hurrying warblers as well. For my part, my delight is to linger long over each page of this marvelous record, and to dwell fondly upon its most obscure text.
I take pleasure in noting the minute things about me. I am interested even in the ways of the wild bees, and in all the little dramas and tragedies that occur in field and wood. One June day, in my walk, as I crossed a rather dry, high-lying field, my attention was attracted by small mounds of fresh earth all over the ground, scarcely more than a handful in each. On looking closely, I saw that in the middle of each mound there was a hole not quite so large as a lead-pencil. Now, I had never observed these mounds before, and my curiosity was aroused. " Here is some fine print," I said, "that I have overlooked." So I set to work to try to read it; I waited for a sign of life. Presently I saw here and there a bee hovering about over the mounds. It looked like the honey-bee, only less pronounced in color and manner. One of them alighted on one of the mounds near me, and was about to disappear in the hole in the centre when I caught it in my hand. Though it stung me, I retained it and looked it over, and in the process was stung several times; bat the pain was slight. I saw it was one of our native wild bees, cousin to the leaf-rollers, that build their nests under stones and in decayed fence-rails. (In Packard I found it described under the name of Andrena.} Then I inserted a small weed-stalk into one of the holes, and, with a little trowel I carried, proceeded to dig out the nest. The hole was about a foot deep; at the bottom of it I found a little semi-transparent, membranous sac or cell, a little larger than that of the honey-bee; in this sac was a little pellet of yellow pollen a loaf of bread for the young grub when the egg should have hatched. I explored other nests and found them all the same. This discovery was not a great addition to my sum of natural knowledge, but it was something. Now when I see the signs in a field, I know what they mean; they indicate the tiny earthen cradles of Andrena.
Near by I chanced to spy a large hole in the turf, with no mound of soil about it. I could put the end of my little finger into it. I peered down, and saw the gleam of two small, bead-like eyes. I knew it to be the den of the wolf-spider. Was she waiting for some blundering insect to tumble in? I say she, because the real ogre among the spiders is the female. The male is small and of little consequence. A few days later I paused by this den again and saw the members of the ogress scattered about her own door. Had some insect Jack the Giant-Killer been there, or had- a still more formidable ogress, the sand-hornet, dragged her forth and carried away her limbless body to her den in the bank ? What the wolf-spider does with the earth it excavates in making its den is a mystery. There is no sign of it anywhere about. Does it force its way down by pushing the soil to one side and packing it there firmly? The entrance to the hole usually has a slight rim or hem to keep the edge from crumbling in. As it happened, I chanced upon another interesting footnote that very day. I was on my way to a muck swamp in the woods, to see if the showy lady s-slipper was in bloom. Just on the margin of the swamp, in the deep shade of the hemlocks, my eye took note of some small, unshapely creature crawling hurriedly over the ground. I stooped down, and saw it was some large species of moth just out of its case, and in a great hurry to find a suitable place in which to hang itself up and give its wings a chance to unfold before the air dried them. I thrust a small twig in its way, which it instantly seized upon. I lifted it gently, carried it to drier ground, and fixed the stick in the fork of a tree, so that the moth hung free a few feet from the ground. Its body was distended nearly to the size of one s little finger, and surmounted by wings that were so crumpled and stubby that they seemed quite rudimentary. The creature evidently knew what it wanted, and knew the importance of haste. Instantly these rude, stubby wings began to grow. It was a slow process, but one could see the change from minute to minute. As the wings expanded, the body contracted. By some kind of pumping arrangement air was being forced from a reservoir in the one into the tubes of the other. The wings were not really growing, as they at first seemed to be, but they were unfolding and expanding under this pneumatic pressure from the body. In the course of about half an hour the process was completed, and the winged creature hung there in all its full-fledged beauty. Its color was checked black and white like a loon s back, but its name I know not. My chief interest in it, aside from the interest we feel in any new form of life, arose from the creature s extreme anxiety to reach a perch where it could unfold its wings. A little delay would doubt less have been fatal to it. I wonder how many human geniuses are hatched whose wings are blighted by some accident or untoward circumstance. Or do the wings of genius always unfold, no matter what the environment may be?
One seldom takes a walk without encountering some of this fine print on nature s page. Now it is a little yellowish-white moth that spreads itself upon the middle of a leaf as if to imitate the droppings of birds; or it is the young cicadas working up out of the ground, and in the damp, cool places building little chimneys or tubes above the surface to get more warmth and hasten their development ; or it is a wood-newt gorging a tree-cricket, or a small snake gorging the newt, or a bird song with some striking peculiarity a strange defect, or a rare excellence. Now it is a shrike impaling his victim, or blue jays mocking and teasing a hawk and dropping quickly into the branches to avoid his angry blows, or a robin hustling a cuckoo out of the tree where her nest is, or a vireo driving away a cowbird, or the partridge blustering about your feet till her young are hidden. One October morning I was walking along the road on the edge of the woods, when I came into a gentle shower of butternuts; one of them struck my hat-brim. I paused and looked about me; here one fell, there another, yonder a third. There was no wind blowing, and I wondered what was loosening the butternuts. Turning my attention to the top of the tree, I soon saw the explanation: a red squirrel was at work gathering his harvest. He would seize a nut, give it a twist, when down it would come; then he would dart to another and another. Farther along I found where he had covered the ground with chestnut burs; he could not wait for the frost and the winds; did he know that the burs would dry and open upon the ground, and that the bitter covering of the butternuts would soon fall away from the nut ? There are three things that perhaps happen near me each season that I have never yet seen - the toad casting its skin, the snake swallowing its young, and the larvae of the moth and butterfly constructing their shrouds. It is a mooted question whether or not the snake does swallow its young, but if there is no other good reason for it, may they not retreat into their mother s stomach to feed? How else are they to be nourished ? That the moth larva can weave its own cocoon and attach it to a twig seems more incredible. Yesterday, in my walk, I found a firm, silver-gray cocoon, about two inches long and shaped like an Egyptian mummy (prob ably Promethea), suspended from a branch of a bush by a narrow, stout ribbon twice as long as itself. The fastening was woven around the limb, upon which it turned as if it grew there. I would have given something to have seen the creature perform this feat, and then encase itself so snugly in the silken shroud at the end of this tether. By swinging free, its firm, compact case was in no danger from woodpeckers, as it might have been if resting directly upon a branch or tree-trunk. Near by was the cocoon of another species (Cecropia) that was fastened directly to the limb; but this was vague, loose, and much more involved and net-like. I have seen the downy woodpecker assaulting one of these cocoons, but its yielding surface and webby interior seemed to puzzle and baffle him.
I am interested even in the way each climbing plant or vine goes up the pole, whether from right to left, or from left to right, that is, with the hands of a clock or against them, whether it is under the law of the great cyclonic storms of the northern hemisphere, which all move against the hands of a clock, or in the contrary direction, like the cyclones in the southern hemisphere. I take pleasure in noting every little dancing whirlwind of a summer day that catches up the dust or the leaves before me, and every little funnel-shaped whirlpool in the swollen stream or river, whether or not they spin from right to left or the reverse. If I were in the southern hemisphere, I am sure I should note whether these things were under the law of its cyclones in this respect or under the law of ours. As a rule, our twining plants and toy whirlwinds copy our revolving storms and go against the hands of the clock. But there are exceptions. While the bean, the bittersweet, the morning-glory, and others go up from left to right, the hop, the wild buckwheat, and some others go up from right to left. Most of our forest trees show a tendency to wind one way or the other, the hard woods going in one direction, and the hemlocks and pines and cedars and butternuts and chestnuts in another. In different localities, or on different geological formations, I find these directions re versed. I recall one instance in the case of a hem lock six or seven inches in diameter, where this tendency to twist had -come out of the grain, as it were, and shaped the outward form of the tree, causing it to make, in an ascent of about thirty feet, one complete revolution about a larger tree close to which it grew. On a smaller scale I have seen the same thing in a pine.
Persons lost in the woods or on the plains, or traveling at night, tend, I believe, toward the left. The movements of men and women, it is said, differ in this respect, one sex turning to the right and the other to the left.
I had lived in the world more than fifty years before I noticed a peculiarity about the rays of light one often sees diverging from an opening, or a series of openings, in the clouds, namely, that they are like spokes in a wheel, the hub, or centre, of which appears to be just there in the vapory masses, instead of being, as is really the case, nearly ninety-three millions of miles beyond. The beams of light that come through cracks or chinks in a wall do not converge in this way, but to the eye run parallel to one another. There is another fact : this fan-shaped display of converging rays is always immediately in front of the observer; that is, exactly between him and the sun, so that the central spoke or shaft in his front is always perpendicular. You cannot see this fan to the right or left of the sun, but only between you and it. Hence, as in the case of the rainbow, no two persons see exactly the same rays.
The eye sees what it has the means of seeing, and its means of seeing are in proportion to the love and desire behind it. The eye is informed and sharpened by the thought. My boy sees ducks on the river where and when I cannot, because at certain seasons he thinks ducks and dreams ducks. One season my neighbor asked me if the bees had injured my grapes. I said, "No; the bees never injure my grapes."
" They do mine," he replied; " they puncture the skin for the juice, and at times the clusters are covered with them."
"No," I said, "it is not the bees that puncture the skin; it is the birds."
"What birds?"
"The orioles."
"But I have n t seen any orioles," he rejoined.
"We have," I continued, " because at this season we think orioles; we have learned by experience how destructive these birds are in the vineyard, and we are on the lookout for them; our eyes and ears are ready for them."
If we think birds, we shall see birds wherever we go; if we think arrowheads, as Thoreau did, we shall pick up arrowheads in every field. Some people have an eye for four-leaved clovers; they see them as they walk hastily over the turf, for they already have them in their eyes. I once took a walk with the late Professor Eaton of Yale. He was just then specially interested in the mosses, and he found them, all kinds, everywhere. I can see him yet, every few minutes upon his knees, adjusting his eye-glasses before some rare specimen. The beauty he found in them, and pointed out to me, kindled my enthusiasm also. I once spent a summer day at the mountain home of a well-known literary woman and editor. She lamented the absence of birds about her house. I named a half- dozen or more I had heard or seen in her trees within an hour the indigo-bird, the purple finch, the yellowbird, the veery thrush, the red-eyed vireo, the song sparrow.
" Do you mean to say you have seen or heard all these birds while sitting here on my porch ? " she inquired.
"I really have," I said.
"I do not see them or hear them," she replied, "and yet I want to very much."
" No," said I; "you only want to want to see and hear them."
You must have the bird in your heart before you can find it in the bush.
I was sitting in front of a farmhouse one day in company with the local Nimrod. In a maple tree in front of us I saw the great crested flycatcher. I called the hunter s attention to it, and asked him if he had ever seen that bird before. No, he had not; it was a new bird to him. But he probably had seen it scores of times, seen it without regarding it. It was not the game he was in quest of, and his eye heeded it not.
Human and artificial sounds and objects thrust themselves upon us; they are within our sphere, so to speak: but the life of nature we must meet half way; it is shy, withdrawn, and blends itself with a vast neutral background. We must be initiated; it is an order the secrets of which are well guarded.
