Ready to get scandalous? The 1923 play Indecent, written by Pulitzer Prize winner Paula Vogel, was ahead of its time. It zoomed in on a Jewish brothel owner and a bit of lesbian love. At the time, some viewers loved its risqué approach, and some absolutely hated it. Now it's arrived nearly 100 years later, directed by GableStage's Joseph Adler and starring David Kwiat, Hannah Benitez, and Kelly Pekar. 8 p.m. Thursday and select dates through February 24 at GableStage, 1200 Anastasia Ave., Coral Gables; gablestage.com. Tickets cost $15 to $50.
Convincing magic shows are hard to come by. To see one this week, head up to Hollywood. Vegas mainstays Penn & Teller are set to hit the Hard Rock Event Center Thursday evening. Buddies since the '70s, the two have a style of contrast and hilarity. Pro tip: If you want to geek out your tricks using some Penn & Teller sleight of hand, their 1989 book, Cruel Tricks for Dear Friends, is awesome. 8 p.m. Thursday at Hard Rock Event Center, 1 Seminole Way, Hollywood. Tickets cost $40 to $85 via ticketmaster.com.
Cher. Madonna. Bono. What do they have in common? They're all one-name phenoms. So is Anika, who will rock a solo live set at Floyd this Thursday evening. Her style is multigenre, spanning electronic and postpunk goodness. She's had some pretty cool jobs that have surely inspired her work, including being a poet and a political journalist. 11 p.m. Thursday at Floyd, 34 NE 11th St., Miami; floydmiami.com. Tickets cost $10 to $15.
If you're not up on young adult fiction, you probably have no idea what the Grishaverse is. But readers of Leigh Bardugo know she's a big deal. The number-one New York Times best-selling author is trekking across this great land in support of her latest book, King of Scars. She'll hit Books & Books for a unique engagement, preceded by a fan meetup at Coral Gables Congregational United Church of Christ this Thursday evening. The Grishaverse, for the uninitiated, is loaded with magic, science, and all kinds of characters you'll adore. It's never too late to be a part of it. 6:30 p.m. Thursday at Coral Gables Congregational United Church of Christ, 3010 De Soto Blvd., Coral Gables; eventbrite.com. Tickets cost $19.99.
If you missed the chance to try the legendary sticky-bun doughnut at the Salty Donut a few months ago, don't worry: It's officially back at the Wynwood shop until Sunday. Drenched in a roasted-pecan/toffee-rum glaze and topped with caramelized pecans, each $6.50 treat encases a famous Knaus Berry Farm cinnamon roll inside a thick layer of the Salty Donut's signature 24-hour brioche dough. Then the whole thing is fried, baked, and garnished by hand at the shop. The flavor debuted in March 2016, marking the first time the Salty Donut and Knaus Berry Farm, both known for outrageously long lines, teamed up to make their most indulgent treat to date, which, naturally, resulted in even longer lines. Now is your chance to try it one more time. 7:30 a.m. until sold out now through Sunday at the Salty Donut, 50 NW 23rd St., Miami; 305-925-8126; saltydonut.com.

If you're looking for the quintessential rocking chair, look no further than this quality piece. This wooden version is what you might expect to see on a big wraparound porch or in the corner of your grandmother's sitting room.
It's a great buy, too. Despite the fact that it's made out of solid mahogany wood, it's a very affordable piece—especially when you consider how long it will last in your home or on your porch, patio, or balcony. The chair is also very comfortable, with a classic silhouette that features a slat back and a curved, slatted seat. Plus, it has a stain- and weather-resistant finish that ensures it will hold up to both heavy use and outdoor elements.
Though the white is a great choice for nearly any location, it comes in two other color choices as well.
A rocking chair is one of the most vital pieces of furniture in a child's nursery. And because it serves as a place for parents to sit at all hours of the day and night, comfort is paramount. Pottery Barn has become the go-to resource for parents-to-be looking for rocking chairs because their chairs are both comfortable and attractive. They are on the higher-end, yes, but it's a price many are willing to pay for the convenience of having the right chair.
But with so many choices at one retailer, how do you choose the best one? The Minna Small Spaces Rocker & Ottoman stands out from the rest because it has a slimmer profile that fits comfortably in small bedrooms or nurseries, but is still large enough for taller parents sit comfortably. It also comes with a matching ottoman—key for resting tired feet.
Another big benefit to some parents is the fact that this rocking chair is GREENGUARD gold certified, meaning it meets stringent chemical emissions standards.
A rocking Adirondack chair is a great option if you're looking for an outdoor rocking chair. An Adirondack chair is almost like the unofficial symbol of summer. Once the weather turns, you'll find these chairs on decks and docks, hillsides, pool decks, and front lawns—and for good reason: they are both attractive and comfortable.
This rocking chair is made of teak—one of the most durable materials available for outdoor furniture. It has a high-end look that's both weather-resistant and sturdy. There's no doubt that, with proper care, you'll have the rocking chair for many, many years.
When it comes to comfort, you'll love this rocking chair's wide, deep seat. It's set at just the right angle to settle in comfortably. Plus, the wide armrests provide plenty of space to perch your arms—or rest your beverage of choice.
Whether you're sitting on the sidelines at your child's sporting event, you frequent football tailgates or you simply want a comfortable camping chair, this folding outdoor rocking chair is your best bet. It has a sturdy powder-coated steel frame that easily supports up to 250 pounds, but quickly and easily folds flat for storage and transportation. The whole thing weighs just 12 pounds, so it's easy to lift in and out of cars or tote across a field or parking lot. Despite these conveniences, the rocking chair has added features like padded armrests and a built-in beverage holder.
And, as any good rocking chair should, this folding version delivers smooth rocking motion, despite the terrain underfoot, thanks to a patented spring-action rocking technology.
If you love a good rocking chair, but prefer a comfortable chair with more controlled movement, a glider is a great option for you. A glider—also called a platform rocker—is a type of rocking chair in which the seat is attached to the base so that the whole piece of furniture moves in one swift back-and-forth motion, without leaving the ground. Because of these controlled motions, many parents choose this type of rocking chair for a nursery, but it's just as convenient if you'll be using your rocking chair as a reading chair.
This particular glider stands out from the pack because it looks more like a standard accent chair than a rocking chair. Because of this, it looks right at home in the nicest areas of your home, including your family room or your living room. Still, it's a great option for nurseries or even basements, too.
Though it is on the pricier side, shoppers love the fact that the chair comes in such a wide range of fabric and color choices—over 20 fabric and nearly 10 colors, to be exact.
Standard rocking chairs aren't exactly known for being comfortable, but this upholstered version is definitely an exception. The reason? This rocking chair was designed with posture in mind. The wooden frame is constructed with a healthy upright posture in mind, and the attached upholstered seat has gentle contouring that cradles the lower back and offers plenty of lumbar support. And with a seat height of 18 inches, this rocking chair is comparable to a dining room chair—the perfect fit for short and tall people alike. Beyond comfort, this rocking chair stands out for its aesthetic. It has a slim, sleek profile that looks right at home in a variety of spaces—both contemporary and classic. It also comes in more than 65 fabric and color choices, so there's no doubt that everyone will find the right piece to suit their space.
Is there anything sweeter than a child and a rocking chair? This fun red rocking chair has a classic look that matches the adults' favorite chairs—it's just pint-sized for the youngest members of the household. The rocking chair is made from kiln-dried hardwood and painted with a durable glossy finish that's suitable for indoor use, but will hold up to the elements (and rough children) if used outdoors or on a porch, balcony, or patio.

Friday, September 8
• A dawn challenge: Very low in the east as dawn brightens on Saturday morning September 9th, Mercury, now a respectable magnitude 0, glows 1° to the right of Regulus, magnitude 1.3, under bright Venus as shown here. Mars, fainter at magnitude 1.8, is about 3° farther lower left. Bring binoculars.
Saturday, September 9
• The changes deep in the eastern dawn continue. On Sunday morning the 10th, Mercury glows 1° or less to the lower right of Regulus, while Mars remains below.
Sunday, September 10
• As dusk turns to night, Arcturus twinkles due west. It's getting lower every week. Off to its right in the northwest, the Big Dipper is turning more and more level.
Monday, September 11
• Tomorrow morning the 12th, the last-quarter Moon approaches Aldebaran and then occults it for much of North America: before or during dawn in the West, and after sunrise in a (hopefully) blue sky farther east. The star disappears on the Moon's bright limb (as shown here) and reappears from behind the dark limb. See the September Sky & Telescope, page 50. Map and timetables.
Tuesday, September 12
• The Great Square of Pegasus is high in the east after dark, balancing on one corner. From the Square's left corner extends a big line of three 2nd-magnitude stars running to the lower left. They mark the head, backbone and leg of the constellation Andromeda. (The line of three includes the Square's corner.) Upper left from the end of this line, you'll find W-shaped Cassiopeia tilting up.
Wednesday, September 13
• Vega now passes the zenith an hour after sunset, in late twilight, for those of us at mid-northern latitudes. Vega is bigger, hotter, and more luminous than our Sun, but at 25 light-years it's 1,600,000 times farther away.
Thursday, September 14
• Saturn is at eastern quadrature: 90° east of the Sun in the evening sky. So this month, telescope users see the shadow of Saturn's globe falling farthest eastward onto the rings behind it, enhancing Saturn's overall 3-D appearance.
Friday, September 15
• This evening Saturn's biggest and brightest moon, Titan, stands about four ring-lengths to Saturn's east. A 4-inch telescope will begin to show the orange color of its smoggy atmosphere.
• Before sunrise on Sunday morning the 16th, Mercury is only about 0.3° from dimmer Mars. Bring optical aid to scan very low in the east, lower left of Venus, as shown here.
Saturday, September 16
• On Sunday morning the 17th, The Moon and Venus point diagonally down toward Mercury and Mars, which appear nearly as close together as they did on Saturday morning.
Want to become a better astronomer? Learn your way around the constellations! They're the key to locating everything fainter and deeper to hunt with binoculars or a telescope.
This is an outdoor nature hobby. For an easy-to-use constellation guide covering the whole evening sky, use the big monthly map in the center of each issue of Sky & Telescope, the essential guide to astronomy.
Once you get a telescope, to put it to good use you'll need a detailed, large-scale sky atlas (set of charts). The basic standard is the Pocket Sky Atlas (in either the original or Jumbo Edition), which shows stars to magnitude 7.6.
Next up is the larger and deeper Sky Atlas 2000.0, plotting stars to magnitude 8.5; nearly three times as many. The next up, once you know your way around, is the even larger Uranometria 2000.0 (stars to magnitude 9.75). And read how to use sky charts with a telescope.
You'll also want a good deep-sky guidebook, such as Sue French's Deep-Sky Wonders collection (which includes its own charts), Sky Atlas 2000.0 Companion by Strong and Sinnott, or the bigger Night Sky Observer's Guide by Kepple and Sanner.
Can a computerized telescope replace charts? Not for beginners, I don't think, and not on mounts and tripods that are less than top-quality mechanically (meaning heavy and expensive).
And as Terence Dickinson and Alan Dyer say in their Backyard Astronomer's Guide, "A full appreciation of the universe cannot come without developing the skills to find things in the sky and understanding how the sky works.

Mercury is having a good apparition low in the dawn. Its brightness more than doubles this week, from magnitude +0.2 to –0.8. On the morning of September 10th Mercury is closely passing Regulus, which is much fainter at magnitude +1.4. On the 16th it's going even closer by Mars, magnitude +1.8. Look for this action down to the lower left of brilliant Venus. Bring binoculars.
Venus (magnitude –3.9, in Leo above Mercury and Mars) shines brightly in the east before and during dawn.
Jupiter (magnitude –1.7) is just above the west-southwest horizon after sunset. Look early with binoculars; it sets before twilight is over.
Saturn (magnitude +0.4, in Ophiuchus above Scorpius) glows in the south-southwest at dusk. Antares, less bright, twinkles 13° to Saturn's lower right.
Uranus (magnitude 5.7, in Pisces) and Neptune (magnitude 7.8, in Aquarius) are well up in the east and southeast, respectively, by late evening. It likely rains diamonds inside them. Use our finder charts.
All descriptions that relate to your horizon — including the words up, down, right, and left — are written for the world's mid-northern latitudes. Descriptions that also depend on longitude (mainly Moon positions) are for North America.

This document describes the methods for assessing wetland extent and loss and development of a condition assessment index which is summarised in four steps below:
- Site prioritisation: important wetlands to be assessed were identified (see Claus et al. 2011).
- Wetland extent and loss: the extent of all wetlands selected in the prioritisation was determined using best possible data. In addition, the hydrological catchment and fringing zone for each wetland were delineated used best available methods (see Claus et al. 2011).
- Indicators: Using disturbance and stressor conceptual models (see see Assessing the extent and condition of wetlands in NSW: Supporting report A – Conceptual framework), a set of pressure and condition indicators were selected to inform the condition assessment of each wetland and ultimately each CMA region.
- Development of a condition assessment index: To report on each indicator a scoring table using a five point scoring scale was developed. Values for each level were described, with a score of 1 being the 'best' and 5 the 'worst'. The assessment methodology allows scores of individual indicators to be combined to give an overall pressure and condition scores for each category as well as for a wetland and finally for each CMA region as a whole. For the State of the catchments (SOC) 2010 reports, the scoring system adopted for the 13 state-wide targets was '5' for the best and '1' for the worst. The wetland scoring system in this report was reversed for the SOC 2010 reports.

The word Xinachtli is a Nahuatl word describing the moment a seed germinates. There is nothing more powerful than a seed. A seed can crack a slab of concrete with its sprout. It can lay dormant for decades and awaken with its fruit. A seed is powered by the full intent of the Universe, designed by Creation to explode with Life.
The Xinachtli Project is an indigenous based, multi-language pedagogy developed by El Paso educator Carlos Aceves, M.Ed. Over a fifteen-year period, this method has proven effective in significantly raising the academic attainment of the elementary school students that Aceves teaches. The Xinachtli method introduces students to their ancient, indigenous ancestors' belief that there is a self-evident relationship between everyone and everything. The students learn how to see academic subjects as natural elements that are directly related to their lives. Xinachtli integrates language arts, math, science, and social studies into single lessons, learning station activities, and whole class encounters. This interdisciplinary approach is the "natural way" that indigenous education is conceived, processed, and delivered for all students. The Institute is working to introduce this unique and successful pedagogy into the Texas public schools system.
These modes of learning place teachers more in the role of facilitators than dispensers of knowledge. Hands on activities, working in teams, learning centers and assessment that cannot be restricted to simple letter or numerical grades are also being encouraged. In this atmosphere educators are seeking models through which they can implement a more integral pedagogy. The Xinachtli (Sheen-ach-tlee) Project, a way of approaching all subject areas through concepts rooted in the Mesoamerican tradition, can be a very useful model for public education's attempts into higher realms of learning.
From 1996 to 2007, the Xinachtli Project was applied by several teachers at Canutillo Elementary with an effectiveness that significantly contributed to the overall academic success of the school, going from a campus rated by the state as being in the bottom half to the top 25 percent. It has not, however, been transformed into a set curriculum so that its lessons and approaches can be used by others. It is our goal to eventually do just that.
There is no literature per se on this model of education, namely because it is relatively unknown, yet its methodology is quite compatible with progressive contemporary notions of pedagogy. It is very much a constructivist model, promotes in depth inquiry, explores key concepts of social and cultural relations, and mirrors a concept that is best described as "applied chaos theory." For example, a classroom is organized so that each learning center reflects the activities of the whole classroom (by kome okiomah). The schedule contains time for individual and group work, learning center activities, and free time. A Xinachtli activity can be as little as one lesson a week to daily lessons, depending on how much a teacher wants to use this pedagogy and how effective she finds it.
The concepts of Xinachtli are universal in that they reflect principles developed out of the human effort to build a civilization where people see themselves as an integral part of the natural cycles. Its scientific grounding comes from fomenting a respect and awe at the vastness and complexity of Nature. This experience allows the creation of pedagogical models where learning is drawn on the natural state of children's inquisitiveness, playfulness, and awe of the simplicity of such things as planting and watching a seed sprout.Constructivism, inquiry based-lessons, higher order thinking skills, multicultural education; these head a list of approaches that public education is attempting to implement across the curriculum. They emphasize a more progressive form of learning. Constructivism views learning as a process of creating knowledge rather simply storing information. The inquiry approach builds upon the scientific process as a means of guiding students to more in depth efforts of learning. Multicultural education is a response both to the global economy as well as the growing amalgamation of world cultures in the United States.
Personal Statement
I have been a public school teacher for over twenty years, teaching kindergarten, first and second grade. The Xinachtli Project was my motivation for entering this field and quitting a good salaried position producing instructional television for the local community college.
In 1990 I attended a small gathering of Chicano educators in Arizona where the idea of a Xinachtli project was discussed. The plan was to develop curriculum grounded in Mesoamerican spiritual tradition which taught the complex systems of mathematics, philosophy, agriculture, and fine arts. All of us had been exploring these types of new teaching methods as cultural workers wanting to bring awareness to our community about our rich indigenous heritage.
Upon returning to El Paso, Texas I set about this task with help from some of my friends who were teachers in the public school system. What I discovered in Xinachtli were universal principles and a natural form of learning. In 1992 I became a public school teacher myself.
I believe that Xinachtli pedagogy is ready to be translated into accessible curriculum for teachers not only in the Mexican American community but all those who seek more progressive modes of teaching in their classrooms. Xinachtli builds on the human ability to form symbols and on mythic pedagogy to facilitate natural understanding of the world in which we live.
Xinachtli, much like chaos theory, views the time of the sprouting of a seed as the point in which the seed is neither seed nor plant but a moment of infinite possibilities. Andy Groove, former chairman of Intel Corporation, said on the Charlie Rose show that the future belongs to those who understand and apply the non-linear formation of structure to institutions. His words, more than any others, describe what occurs when we use Xinachtli in the classroom.
I look forward to sharing this exciting curriculum with all those who are interested in a bold new approach to public education.

Indigenous Pedagogy as an Adjunct in the Classroom
by Carlos Aceves
No culture can survive if it attempts to be exclusive.
– Mahatma Gandhi
When a social group feels it needs to impose on the resources of another group, its members do not simply tell themselves it is "time to act like thieves." Rather they seek ways of justifying their actions. At that point, they might begin differentiating themselves as "civilized" while others are labeled "uncivilized." For example, the official script is that the United States is in Iraq not to possess the country's oil wealth but to "bring democracy" to an "undemocratic or backward" society. All cultures that become imperialistic begin creating an ideology that presents their culture as normal and civilized thus justifying their imperialism. Thus, they give themselves an "exclusive" right over those on whom they impose their power.
When I decided to draw upon my Mesoamerican heritage as a source to recreate a process of undoing whiteness in the classroom, I faced a dilemma. Was I recreating the colonial process described above by focusing exclusively on my own ancestral culture? I resolved this contradiction through focusing on process rather than content. I realized that the initial attempt of all groups is to create a means of survival for their culture and ensure the survival of coming generations by passing on this knowledge. The need for the "exclusivity" of that culture arises only when the original structure created by the group is transformed in an attempt to take and control the natural resources of other groups.
When I started attending Canutillo Elementary School in 1960, I encountered overt racism and a sociopolitical message that wreaked havoc with my self-esteem: to be Mexican was bad. Only through the Chicano Movement almost ten years later did I realize I was being conditioned to occupy a lesser position within the political and economic system of the United States, a society that had long ago become imperialist and colonialist.
Throughout my schooling the invasion by the United States of Mexican territory had been justified by portraying Mexico as an undemocratic country. Texas had been severed from Mexico because its new residents wanted "freedom." Arguments in favor of the taking of the rest of Mexico simply followed the same reasoning. As my seventh grade history teacher told us, "The Mexican-American war was just as important to Mexicans as it was to Americans. Mexicans would finally have a free country to live in."
However, my anti-imperialist consciousness which developed through the Chicano Movement helped me not to abandon the idea of using cultural awareness as a pedagogical tool in a similar way that we had used Mexican American culture as a weapon against white supremacy. Within the roots of any culture, there are the human aspirations for freedom, dignity, and artistic expression. As cultures become imperialist or subjected to imperialism, these aspirations become distorted and suppressed but find their way across history in the form of social struggle that often shakes the foundations of the contemporary society in which they now operate. The Xinachtli Project evolved under these circumstances and conditions.

Maybe you've already noticed: In addition to the new look, we've added additional safety standards and numerous filters to facilitate zapping. True to the motto Love is for everyone, you can now find each other even easier– whether you are looking for a friendship, find someone to flirt with or a candidate for a relationship. We've also evaluated how using filters improves your matching success.
Using filters is especially worthwhile for men
On average, Jaumo users who use filters can double their matches. Especially for men, the personalized search on Jaumo is worthwhile: While male singles who search without filters receive an average of 6.2 matches, the filter-use matches have a threefold increase of 18.9 matches on average. Even female singles benefit from the filters: the average increases when using the filter from 19.7 to 36.5 matches.
This is what men and women look for when looking for a partner
But which criteria are decisive in the search for a partner? Our analysis has shown that men and women agree on this point. The Jaumo singles are most interested in the goal of the search, that is a solid partnership, flirting, dating or friendship (M: 63 percent, F: 66 percent). The relationship status (M: 50 percent, F: 69 percent) and height (M: 42 percent, F: 57 percent) are also very popular. Less relevant for the search are the taste of music, pets and sports preferences.
The older the users, the more numerous the filters
With advancing age, the demands on the right partner increase. In any case, the use of the filters allows this conclusion. In particular, the expectations of religious affiliation and height will increase over the years. For 18- to 25-year-olds, religion plays a subordinate role with 16 percent. For 39 percent of them, height is an important factor in finding a partner. For users over 60 years, however, the numbers rise to 35 and 66 percent.
New features: photo hint, anti-fake system and user verification
Another new feature in the app is the photo hint: An algorithm automatically detects when uploading a photo, whether it is suitable for use as a profile picture. For example, if the face is barely visible or the image quality is insufficient, you will now receive a hint. The new verification also ensures more authenticity among the profiles: If you want to mark your profile as genuine, you only have to imitate a gesture that appears randomly on the screen with your hand. Of course, the automated anti-fake system also ensures safety. The algorithm detects conspicuous behavior, such as sending identical messages in too short a time, and takes into account violations by other users. On average, false profiles are identified and removed within two minutes.
Jens Kammerer, CEO of Jaumo, comments:
Not only did rebranding make Jaumo more visually appealing, it also highlighted our corporate values: security and authenticity are our top priorities, and this should be reflected in the user experience. We are constantly working on solutions to make it easier for users to search for like-minded people. This proves our current analysis, because the matching success increases by the use of search filters by at least two-fold.
About the Study
For the analysis, the use of search filters was examined in the period from May 1, 2019 to July 31, 2019. The evaluation of the data was done anonymously. The user behavior of different age groups was recorded and a differentiation by gender was also made. The data comes from all 180 countries in which Jaumo is represented.

Thieves stole a man's wheelchair ramp from in front of his home Saturday.
Chris Warnick, who started using a wheelchair in January, says the ramp was taken in broad daylight from his home on Falls Drive.
"I'd like to think they stole it because they needed it more than I do," Warnick told KXAS.
Neighbors already have stepped in to help replace the ramp, and a new one is being delivered this week, the TV station reports.

BANGKOK - It's World Tiger Day on Wednesday (July 29) and the fate of the iconic Asian big cat remains uncertain, with remnant populations especially in South-east Asia threatened by a multi-billion-dollar trade that is wiping out forests and biodiversity.
When India announced in January that its tiger population had gone up to 2,226, it deserved the congratulations that flowed. But even in India, the situation for tigers in the wild is not as rosy as it may seem.
The census figures were initially misreported as an increase of 30 per cent in tiger numbers. In reality, they reflected not so much a rise in population - though it is possible the population did grow to some degree - but more accurately the fact that a greater area was covered, which yielded more tigers than previously counted.
But the census also revealed some places where tigers had fallen dramatically in number. Buxa Tiger Reserve in northern West Bengal state, for instance, yielded just three tigers - from a previously estimated population of 20.
In the same state, the vast mangrove swamps of the Sundarbans yielded a population of 76 tigers - down from a figure of 300. To be fair, the figure of 300 could have been nothing more than a boast by the state government - which is why the more scientifically rigorous result of 76 should be a serious wake up call.
Similarly in neighbouring Bangladesh, a previous survey in 2004 came up with 440 tigers. The most recent survey data released on July 27, gave the number as 106. Again to be fair, the previous survey must have been flawed and yielded a wrong number, experts say. It is difficult to accurately count tigers, they explain.
There are roughly about 3,000 tigers left in the wild; India has more than half of them.
But tiger numbers remain small, with many in scattered remnant populations with no contact with other populations. Nevertheless, as in India, they are stable or recovering relatively well in Russia, Nepal and Bhutan. Bhutan on July 29 announced that it has 103 tigers, up from a previous estimate of 75. In neighbouring Nepal, the population is 198.
But the picture in South-east Asia is dismal.
There are virtually no tigers left in Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam; very few in Thailand; and an indeterminate but most probably small number in Myanmar, Malaysia and Indonesia.
"There is a tiger crisis in South-east Asia'' says Singapore-based Michael Baltzer, leader of the World Wildlife Fund's Tigers Alive initiative which has the ambitious aim of doubling the number of tigers in the wild by 2022.
"Countries are not counting their tigers and are at risk of losing them if immediate action isn't taken,'' he said. "Political support is weaker and resources are fewer, while poaching and habitat loss are at critical levels. Until countries know the reality on the ground they can't take the appropriate action to protect their tigers."
Some experts say there is a risk that focusing on counting tigers is a distraction when their numbers are known to be precariously low anyway; instead, more resources should be mobilised to protect their habitat from further loss, and recover habitat that has already been lost.
True, says Mr Baltzer. But "we need to do it (the count) at least once; at this stage we need a strong baseline in order to move on," he said in an interview. "In Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand, we really don't have a clue how many tigers they have.''
Thailand is somewhat ahead of the rest of South-east Asia in tiger conservation, but only just. Tigers have died out from northern Thailand, and the only real future for them lies in the sprawling Western Forest Complex which borders Myanmar, experts say.
In Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos, hunting has not only killed tigers but also decimated the prey species they depend on to survive.
"There's a fear that this may be happening in Thailand too,'' said Mr Baltzer.
India, Nepal and Russia are far more invested in tiger conservation than those in South-east Asia. There is a dedicated budget for tiger conservation in India. In Russia, President Vladimir Putin has been championing the cause of protecting the species since 2008 when he personally tranquilised a wild Amur tiger in a much-publicised episode. The number of tigers has grown to over 500 from less than 40 in the 1940s.
In the kind of practical initiative that needs to be duplicated elsewhere, a logging company, working with local authorities and the New York-based Wildlife Conservation Society, agreed this month to begin dismantling abandoned logging roads currently being used by poachers to access tiger habitat in Russia's far eastern Terney region. It is one of the most biologically rich temperate forests in the world and home to around 30 per cent of Amur tigers.
The roads will be made impassable through just a few simple measures: removing bridges, digging trenches, and blocking them with rocks.
By contrast, in South-east Asia, conservationists are still trying to push back against a tidal wave of organised transnational wildlife crime which traffics endangered species mostly to markets in China.
They are also being swamped by powerful vested interests, from commercial logging and plantation companies to hydro power dams, and the ubiquitous roads that open up previously inaccessible wilderness.
One can't definitively say there are no more tigers left in Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam, because there is always a chance there are one or two individuals still surviving.
But the battle to save the tiger in those countries has already lost. The big cat is functionally extinct - meaning their numbers are so small that they do not meet and breed any more, so they may as well be extinct.
Disparate surveys in Thailand yield a patchy picture; tigers have reappeared in some protected areas, but have dwindled in others. And in Myanmar, where even less data exists, vast tracts of forest have been given out to private plantation agriculture, and towns on the border with China are lawless free-for-alls where endangered species are traded in violation of national and international laws and out of reach of enforcement.
On mainland South-east Asia, only Thailand, Malaysia - and to a yet unknown extent Myanmar - have some hope of saving the tiger.
But it is an increasingly slender hope.

Weekend K-drama melos are like Thanksgiving dinner, it's so rich and excessive that I only ever crave it once a year, at most. This year I'm finding myself curious about upcoming SBS weekender Fate and Furies starring Lee Min Jung, Joo Sang Woo, Lee Ki Woo, and So Yi Hyun, a solid foursome with acting chops and diverse charisma. It's the second go-around for the two leads who starred in Cunning Single Woman (Sly and Single Again), displaying excellent chemistry even as the story was relatively mediocre in maintaining depth. This time around they've swapped the hijinks for the oh so serious vibe as shown by these rich drama posters. Love the fancy attire and posing of the four leads around a room from different angles. Clearly it's going to get emotionally messy and I'm totally cool with that. Continue reading

It's not enough for firms to create competencies around big data and data science. Organizations must also 'see' the insights in these huge, new data sources. Phil Simon takes a few questions about his newest book and the implications on people, businesses and technology.
Identified was bought by Workday and Monster acquired Gozaik and TalentBin. Smart market watchers should be asking "Why" these deals were done and what these deals could do to recruiting/HR vendors, competition and the companies that would benefit from re-imagined HR processes.
It's time to cull some of the spreadsheets that finance (and operational) executives are using. Cloud-based solutions can offer the audit trails, one-source-of-truth, collaboration and other features missing in solutions of yore.
This 6-part piece story looks at several new recruiting and HR technologies and how each radically changes how time is spent acquiring talent.
The ERP segment is undergoing a lot of change. Change, though, can create some uncomfortable moments for some folks and ERP vendors, customers and integrators will definitely feel something next year. What are some of these challenges and who will need to adapt?
No need to feel guilty about gaming your employer's sales compensation plan. A new book by Xactly's CEO argues that this is what sales professionals are supposed to do. One clue: Spreadsheets aren't probably going to cut it anymore.
Here's a look at the big stories that somehow didn't get much coverage or got overlooked altogether. Some of these bits, by themselves, weren't big stories; but when lots of vendors do the same thing, a trend emerges.
Businesses and Consumers both rely heavily on the information they find on the Internet. They get smart about their problems, potential solutions, possible vendors to contract with, etc. In fact, they may not contact your firm until well into the sales cycle. But, those firms who put few knowledge 'assets' on the internet may be seriously limiting their sales. Read on to see some smarter approaches emerging today.
The war for talent is definitely heating up and the best HR executives are adopting non-traditional technologies, innovative recruitment strategies and more to attract and retain talent. Read on to get a taste what surfaced from a number of interviews with leading HR executives.
If you thought HR software comprised Payroll, HRMS and Talent Management modules, think again. There are amazing new products that serve more than just your company. LinkedIn has become the biggest of these PERSON-based products and how well these solutions fit with solutions designed for CORPORATIONS should make for interesting viewing. Read (and comment on) this three part piece!

Why is it that people with no respect for their own lives expect others to come to their rescue? Why do the poor families of these selfish, arrogant people think it is America's job to protect their children, when their children do things that amount to suicide, with the families blessing?
Let's do a simple test: how many of you want to go to a nice war zone in Syria? For vacation or work, it doesn't matter. How much would you need to be paid to stroll into a war zone? Without bodyguards, for a story nobody here in America cares about? Do you care about the plight of the poor Syrians? They all hate our guts, and would kill us in a second.
How about North Korea? There's a vacation spot if ever I saw one! Anyone want to take a trip to North Korea? Maybe take a bible, proselytize where it means the death penalty? C'mon, it will be fun, and hey, who cares if I get arrested, I can count on, expect, no…DEMAND other Americans t risk their lives, the lives they actually respect, to save me, right? Maybe we can tear up our visas and defect, so we can be jailed to spotlight human rights abuses in North Korea's prisons! That sounds like fun, right?
How about we get a fanatical Jehovah's Witness type Christian Pastor, and go to Iran and open up a Christian orphanage for teenage boys? Wouldn't that be fun? Of course, trying to convert muslims to Christianity is illegal, but hey, it's Iran, how much trouble can we get in? I know, Cuba! Let's do Cuba! We can take a contract to (illegally), put up radio antennas for the Jewish community. It's illegal, but what American religious fanatic cares about that? Besides, our arrogance and personal narcissism won't keep our government from going to war to save us, right? Our Constitutional rights are protected no matter where we are in the world, right? If we can't break any other countries laws, risk our very lives, without the US saving us, what good is being an American? Don't we rule the world? Aren't we immune to any other countries laws and penalties? How about here in America? Let's go try and climb the most dangerous mountains we can find, with the least equipment, and no safety devices. When we get stuck where we will most certainly perish, millions of Americans will die trying to save us, right? They should not only be expected to, but forced to, against their will! I was doing what I wanted, regardless of the risk, now come die saving me!
My sympathy is reserved for the abandoned families. Their husbands, sons, fathers just didn't care enough about them to not risk their lives. Mrs. Foley says, "America failed her son!"
Were she not in mourning, I would tell her what I really think of that statement! As it is, I will say, respectfully, that your son failed your son, and you. America did not send him to Syria. He went for a paycheck and a Pulitzer. That was worth more than his life and your love, and was his decision, not America's!
Our government told her they would prosecute if they paid a ransom! I would have loved to see that trial! President obama gives them, (muslim brotherhood, father of them all), billions of dollars for their caliphate, which they use to attack the US and Israel, and then would prosecute someone else for paying a pittance in comparison to save their son?
None of the embedded journalists were asked to go. They went to see America commit atrocities, or get horror stories about how bad America's military and influence has been on the world. Anybody remember any reporters with good stories about America?
Right now, there are Americans held prisoner in all the country's mentioned, and rightly so. They went there voluntarily, for money, or to defect. While I pity their families and the pain their relatives choices have caused, I spit on their demands to help them. I don't believe they should be mentioned in any official capacity. They used their freedom to choose, their freedom to travel, to commit suicide. Let them live with the decision.
The point is, America and American's should protect the innocent, those caught up in situations by chance, not of their own making. Sgt Tahmooressi is a perfect example, being held in a Mexican jail through no purposeful fault of his own. HE deserves EVERY American's support and help. I would have sent a few helicopters full of Marines to get him already, and if Mexico wanted a war over it, so be it. It might lead to a secure border.

Tigers Draw Goshen In Sectional Opener
The Warsaw boys basketball team, despite the distance, hopes to be making three long bus rides to the City with a Heart next week.
The two-time defending sectional champion Tigers will look to make it a three-peat in the Class 4-A Elkhart Sectional slated for venerable North Side Gym.
Warsaw, as does the 402 other teams statewide, now knows its path to postseason glory.
The IHSAA conducted pairings Sunday evening for the 108th annual edition of Hoosier Hysteria, which is set to tip with sectional play in four classes the week of Feb. 26.
Warsaw will face familiar foe Goshen in the opening game of the Elkhart Sectional on Feb. 27. The Tigers, who are 5-1 versus the sectional field, beat the RedHawks 53-35 in a Northern Lakes Conference game in the Tiger Den back on Jan. 12.
Coach Doug Ogle's Tigers sit at 11-10, one of three teams in the wide open seven-team field at Elkhart with a winning record. Warsaw, which shared the NLC title with Northridge at 5-2, beat Goshen, Elkhart Central, Concord, Plymouth and Northridge and lost to Elkhart Memorial during the regular season.
The Tigers, who have won eight of their last 11 games, would play Northridge in a semifinal game with a win over Goshen. The Raiders, who are 11-9 and 4-2 versus the sectional field, drew the bye. Warsaw defeated Northridge 58-49 on Jan. 5 at Northridge.
NorthWood will get a shot at defending champion and No. 19 Fairfield in a first-round game of the Class 3-A NorthWood Sectional Feb. 27. The Falcons, who upset a 21-2 NorthWood team last year in the sectional semifinals to snap the Panthers sectional title run at three in a row, won 45-42 in Nappanee back on Dec. 9.
The host Panthers sit at 15-5 thanks to a current seven-game winning streak. The Falcons, who like NorthWood are 4-1 versus the sectional field, are 16-4.
Wawasee opens sectional play at NorthWood versus Lakeland in the opener Feb. 27. Lakeland topped the Warriors 54-30 in Syracuse on Jan. 27. Wawasee sits at 5-16, while the Lakers are 13-9. The Warriors are 2-12 since starting the season 3-4, including a win at Warsaw.
Tippecanoe Valley drew a bye as NorthWood and will face the winner of the NorthWood-Fairfield contest in a semifinal matchup. The Vikings have won three of their last four games to improve to 5-15 under first-year coach Chad Patrick. Valley lost at home to NorthWood 53-37 on Feb. 13 and has not faced Fairfield this season.
Culver will host the Class 1-A sectional originally slated for Triton. The sectional, along with the regional, had to be moved to Culver due to the Triton floor being damaged by a water leak.
The Trojans will meet South Central in the opener at Culver on Feb. 27. Triton sits at 6-13 after dropping seven its last eight contests. The Trojans have not faced South Central.
Oregon-Davis is the defending champion at Culver and one of three teams with a winning record. The Bobcats are 5-1 versus the sectional field and meet the winner of the Triton-South Central game in a semifinal. No. 12 Elkhart Christian Academy, sporting a 14-6 mark, is a team to watch at Culver. The Eagles face Argos in a first-round contest.
Lakeland Christian Academy will face Fort Wayne Smith Academy in a first-round game of the Class 1-A Hamilton Sectional. The Cougars, who are 2-2 versus the sectional field, have won three in a row to improve to 10-11. Smith Academy is 8-13 on the season and lost to LCA, 54-48, Feb. 3.
No. 2 Fort Wayne Blackhawk Christian is the prohibitive favorite at Hamilton with a 19-2 record, the lone team in the sectional with a winning record.
Sectional championship game are slated for Saturday, March 3. Four-team regionals are March 10 with semistates March 17 and the four state championship games March 24 in Indianapolis.
The Elkhart Sectional champion advances to the Michigan City Regional to play the Chesterton Sectional winner. The other semifinal will pit the Mishawaka Sectional winner versus the Lake Central Sectional winner.
The NorthWood Sectional winner moves on to the Marion Regional to play the winner of the Norwell Sectional. The other game will have the New Castle Sectional winner versus the New Haven Sectional champion.
The Class 1-A Culver Regional will have the Culver Sectional winner versus the Kouts Sectional winner and the Tri-County Sectional champion versus the Hamilton Sectional winner.
The North Semistate hosts will be Lafayette Jefferson and Huntington North. The semistate assignments will be made by the IHSAA on Sunday, March. 11.

Tailgating gets go-ahead at University of Idaho
UPDATED: Fri., June 22, 2018
MOSCOW, Idaho – Football fans at the University of Idaho officially will be allowed to tailgate after the State Board of Education approved an alcohol permit for 2018 home football games Thursday.
The permit also covers postseason home games and the spring 2019 football scrimmage.
In October, the state board approved policy changes that permitted alcohol under specific circumstances at NCAA athletic events on university campuses, as long as prior board approval was granted.
UI officials jumped on the chance to get tailgating approved.
Tailgating has been common practice at the school, but until last year it was prohibited by official board policy.
Approved tailgating areas where alcohol consumption will be allowed include parking lots 34, 57, 57E and 110, all near the Kibbie Dome.
The university will need to submit a postseason report to the board.
The move was approved with a 3-2 vote during the second day of the state board's meeting at the College of Eastern Idaho in Idaho Falls. Board members Andrew Scoggin and Richard Westerberg opposed the move.
Proposals to allow tailgating at Boise State University and Idaho State University were postponed until a future meeting.
"We're appointed as the State Board of Education, and yet it seems every year we become the state board of alcohol licensing," Scoggin said, speaking in opposition to the move.

Masters Theses
"When an elastic-plastic solid is accelerated by a fluid of lower density, Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI) is observed, and the instability is mitigated by the material's mechanical strength, initial conditions, and the acceleration that drives the instability. Such instances of RTI are observed in supernovas, explosive welding, and inertial confinement fusion. In contrast to Newtonian fluids, experimental study of RTI in accelerated solids is traditionally hindered by difficulty to measure material properties and exceedingly small time scales. An understanding of the role initial conditions and material properties have on the growth of RTI will lead to better control of the instability.
We present the results for a series of experiments to study the effect of amplitude and wavelength on RT instability with an elastic-plastic solid. A novel rotating wheel RT experiment that uses centrifugal forces to accelerate the two-material interface is used for this purpose. The experiment consists of a container filled with air and mayonnaise, a non-Newtonian emulsion, with an initial perturbation between the two materials. Single mode perturbations of various amplitudes and wavelength were analyzed and results found the instability required for acceleration was inversely proportional to both initial amplitude and wavelength. Three-dimensional (3D) interfaces were found to be more stable than two-dimensional (2D) interfaces. Elastic and plastic peak amplitude responses were observed for stable interfaces using a variable acceleration profile where the test section was first accelerated to slightly below the critical acceleration and then decelerated at the same rate. This exercise allowed for verification of the elastic-plastic (EP) transition process before instability was reached"--Abstract, page iii.

Darling Gardens Signs, City of Yarra. 2013.
Installation of of 6 signs made by Glass Metal Industries (GMI) for the City of Yarra.
Spel Design works directly with the client to determine precise locations, then excavates the ground to install a welded ragbolt frame in concrete, all excavated soil is disposed at a landfill. All digging is done manually to avoid any possible risk with encountering underground services. Even with a plan from service providers, these are often imprecise and irrigation is rarely documented. The ground in this particular location was especially hard and dense and is mostly dry clay, very difficult to dig manually. When the footing is complete the exposed bolts are then covered with soil to remove any exposure to hazards until the sign is delivered.
Some time later, the footing is exposed and prepared for delivery of the signs from GMI. The signs are levelled and bolted down firmly. The base of the signs, which sit approx 100mm below the surface – are then covered with topsoil and smoothed to match the surrounding area.
The sign pictured above is the main entry sign. It required two footings, one for each leg. These had to be precisely plotted and positioned to match the holes in the manufactured sign. This one was so big and heavy it had to be brought to the site on a crane truck and hoisted into place.
The following signs are based on a standard totem design.

How HSBC Bank Canada supports employee volunteering, charity work
When HSBC Bank Canada donated $500,000 to four children's hospitals across the country last month, it was up to employees to decide on the recipients of those donations.
Employees chose children's health as the cause they most wanted to support, says Kim Toews, executive vice-president and head of human resources at HSBC Bank Canada.
Read: Canadians want volunteering opportunities organized by employers: study
"We take our responsibilities to support the communities where we operate very seriously, and that starts with us being active participants in community life," she says. "We know that involving our employees in charitable decisions and supporting their volunteer efforts can help to engender pride, increase job satisfaction and employee loyalty. It can also help them to build new skills that contribute to their personal development and enhance their everyday performance."
Staff at all levels within the bank are encouraged to give back to the community, according to Toews. This includes working with charitable partners in endeavours such as drop-in events and long-term volunteer programs.
The company also providers employees with one paid day per year to volunteer with a registered Canadian charity of their choice, she says. In 2017, HSBC Bank Canada staff spent 6,034 paid work hours volunteering.

One of Toews' favourite employee volunteer endeavours is their involvement in helping youth learn money management skills.
"Our support in 2017 enabled the program to reach students in Quebec, southern Alberta and British Columbia for the first time," she says. "In the 2017-18 school year, 78 employees volunteered 680 hours in their communities.
"HSBC's annual United Way campaign is another cornerstone, employee-driven volunteering and fundraising initiative supporting our local communities," adds Toews, noting the company is celebrating the campaign's 30th anniversary in Canada in 2018. More than a third of the bank's employees in Canada participates annually.
