The Geological Society of London is the UK's national society for geoscience, providing support to over 12,000 members in the UK and overseas. Founded in 1807, we are the oldest geological society in the world.
This meeting is intended to bring together a diverse range of sedimentary geologists to foster a critical examination of the current state of the sequence stratigraphic model, and to highlight robust new methods, concepts and protocols that could evolve or maybe even potentially revolutionize stratigraphic understanding and prediction.
Developments in this area seem likely to come from a combination of outcrop, geostatistical / stochastic approaches, physical experiments including large flume tank studies, and numerical approaches to the modelling of erosion-transport-depositional systems, all under the umbrella of the Landscape Into Rock concept. However, we will also encourage presentation of brand-new innovative methods, including cross-disciplinary methods that bring in ideas from other branches of science.
The meeting will be organized into a series of themed sessions, with an emphasis on provocative but practical presentations. Presentations will be scheduled to ensure there is plenty of time to debate all the issues raised in the meeting. In a final session, the conveners will chair a discussion targeted at achieving a consensus view on how the subject should move forward.
Registration will open at 8.30am on 22 September and the meeting will commence at 9.00am. The meeting is due to finish at approximately 6pm on 23 September. For full timings, please download a copy of the programme in the Downloads box. Please note that timings may be subject to change.
You can register either online or by downloading the PDF registration form from the 'Downloads box', and sending a completed copy to Naomi Newbold.

Cross the bridge (Elbe) an take exit COPITZ. You will enter
Pirna. Take the S164 (later S165 and S163) in the direction of
"Neustadt/Bastei, Lohmen, Rathewalde" (in the direction
of Bad Schandau). In WALTERSDORF turn right to
Kurort Rathen.
If you come from the south (Decin/Bad Schandau),
in Bad Schandau keep on the east/north side of the ELBE
and go in the direction of "Bastei, Waltersdorf,
Kurort Rathen". In WALTERSDORF turn left to Kurort Rathen.
Between Dresden and Schoena the S-Bahn No. 1 is running every
30 minutes. You have to leave at the station "KURORT RATHEN".
From there you have to walk (100 meters) to the ferry to
cross the river ELBE. This STREAM FERRY runs as soon a passenger
wants to cross the river.
From the other (east/north) side of the Elbe you have to walk about
300 meters to reach PENSION PANORAMA.

It's conventional wisdom that Google's Android mobile OS is the smartphone-and-tablet platform that has the greatest chance of catching fire as the iPhone did. And there's evidence that Android is in fact catching fire as multiple Android devices gain traction among users.
For example, although Apple continues to dominate the worldwide and U.S. mobile handset markets with its iPhone and iPod Touch devices, makers of Android phones are gaining ground, according to the latest research out of AdMob, a mobile advertising network in the process of being acquired by Google.

Blessed Are The Meek
The third beatitude is "Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth." (Matthew 5:5) The world says "Blessed are those who are mighty," but God says "Blessed are the meek." Many are chasing after happiness when what they really want is blessedness.
There is much misunderstanding about what meekness actually means. Meekness is not a weakness as most of the world would think. In fact, it is the opposite. Meekness is strength under control. Like a wild horse who has been broken. The horse does not lose any of his strength, but his strength can now be for a useful purpose.
The Bible says of Moses: "Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men who were on the face of the earth." (KJV) Moses faced the Egyptian Pharoah through the ten plagues that the L-RD put upon the Egyptians. He demanded that Pharaoh let the Israelites go. He fasted on Mt. Sinai for forty days on two occasions. He led the Israelites through the desert for forty years. This certainly does not sound like a weak man.
No man was as meek as Moses until Jesus came on the earth. Matthew 11:29 tells us about Jesus: "Take my yoke upon you and learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you shall find rest unto your souls." (KJV) Jesus fasted for forty days while being tempted by Satan. He faced ridicule from Pharisees and Sadducees. He was spat on and beaten with forty lashes and was crucified. This is not weakness, but physical and spiritual strength under control.
The key to meekness is submission. A wild horse that is broken submits to the owner who rides him.
A man who lives totally for himself without restraint must learn to submit to God after he becomes a believer in Jesus. Meekness is not about having no restraint or no desire. The Buddhist state of nirvana is a state of having no desire. Meekness is about having our desires in submission to God's will for our lives. Paul says this in Romans 6:19: "I put this in human terms because you are weak in your natural selves. Just as you used to offer the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer them in slavery to righteousness leading to holiness."
The first beatitude of being poor in spirit shows us our condition of being spiritually bankrupt. The second beatitude of mourning shows us our need for contrition – our need to repent of our sin. Now the third beatitude shows us our need for submission – our need to give our will under God's control.
How do we develop this attitude of meekness? First, we must be willing to submit to Jesus as our Lord. Jesus encourages us in Matthew 11:28-30: "Come to me, all you who are weary and heavy ladened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." What does Jesus mean about taking his yoke upon you? The Jewish meaning of "yoke" is the teaching of the law. The Pharisees and Sadducees added extra laws of the Oral Law to the written Law of Moses. These many extra laws made life difficult for the Jews. It was a heavy yoke for the people. Jesus was teaching that his yoke (his teaching) was lighter than the yoke of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
If we take the word "yoke" literally, there is still an important lesson that can be learned. When a farmer is training a young ox who has never worn a yoke, the farmer wisely pairs the young ox with an older experienced ox. The two oxen pull the plow together, but the experienced ox is doing most of the work. The young ox may want to go a different way, but the experienced ox pulls the young one along giving him little opportunity to get out of line. When we become a believer, we are teamed up with Jesus. He does the work of trying to keep us in line so that we do not stray too far. If we are to accomplish His work in our lives, we must submit willingly with meekness. We must learn to walk with Him without fighting against Him.
The second key to developing an attitude of meekness is to be responsive to the Word of God. James 1:21 says: "Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you." This reminds me of Psalm 119:11: "Thy word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against Thee." As we learn the Word of God and live by it, our response to the Word should be an attitude of meekness and humility.
The third key to developing an attitude of meekness is to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Meekness is one of the fruits of the Spirit mentioned in Galatians 5:22. Galatians 5:23-26 goes on to say: "Against such things, there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other." Conceit and envy are opposites of meekness. We must learn to choose God's way of meekness if we are to be in submission to Him.
The essence of meekness is learning to submit to a higher power. The wild horse that has been broken learns to submit to his rider. Man's wild restraint of living in sin and living for himself has to be broken to submit to the higher authority of Jesus and to the Word of God and to the Holy Spirit. Paul says this very clearly in I Corinthians 6:19-20: "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body." Romans 12:1 also tells us: "Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God – this is your spiritual act of worship." This submission to God must be done willingly, not grudgingly if we are to have an attitude of meekness.
So what is our reward for meekness? We will inherit the earth. Jesus will be King of kings and Lord of lords, but we will rule and reign with Him on the earth. II Timothy 2:12 says: "If we endure, we will also reign with him." What must we endure? We must endure that Satan is constantly trying to get us off track of following Jesus. He may come as a roaring lion to terrify us that he will take away all that we have. We must not be fooled. He cannot take away our salvation even if we lose everything else like Job did. If that doesn't work, then Satan may come as an angel of light to entice away from following Jesus by giving us fame or power or whatever he can use to entice us. We must stand strong and not fall into Satan's trap. Meekness is our third step in becoming the follower that Jesus wants us to become.

Arlene Shechet
The Frick Collection
In her last New York solo show, in 2013, Arlene Shechet showed clay sculptures in a vein of abstraction that indexed the Rabelaisianforms here swollen, there constricted, here biomorphic, there ambivalently geometric, the colors sometimes flat and sometimes violent, the surfaces now smooth, now scraped or stucco-like. These objects stood on bases as considered as themselves, in materials from raw wood to cement, in structures from short and stubby to tall and spare, and in heights that brought the tallest works up to a total of almost six feet. What, then, would be the subject of Shechet's next show? Meissen porcelain! Of course! Knew it all along.
Meissen today is synonymous with a certain sort of delicacy, refinement, fragility, purity, and also, it must be said, something like kitsch. This despite its secure place in museum vitrines, its literature of connoisseurship, and

High school AV recollections
As a Bay High student in the 1970s about the only claim of distinction I could muster was that of being an AV geek. That, and while I can neither confirm or deny it, the possibility I may have been one of relatively few kids at Bay High at the time who enjoyed occupying their study halls perusing the pages of "Hot Rod Magazine."
Not surprisingly, then, reading the story in the June 7 issue of the Observer about the new Bay High video studio generated a flood of memories for me.
Much of the school's earliest instructional video recording and playback equipment had been in use during my stint as a volunteer in Bay High's AV department. While our gear 40-plus years ago was no doubt quite primitive in comparison with that described in the June 7 story, I still very much remember it.
When I commenced my AV endeavors the department possessed several reel-to-reel, manually threaded video decks. They were monochrome (aka black and white) units employing half-inch-wide video tape carried by open reels and, I believe, employing the EIAJ-1 video format commonly used for such units (thank you, Google). One unit, I recall being made by Sony, could both record and playback tape. We had at least one other deck, possibly two, with one being a Panasonic, capable of playback only.
Matched with a suitably equipped and connected television monitor, the recording-capable video deck could record programming (educational, of course) from it. We also had a monochrome video camera that could be connected to the deck, finding much use in recording sporting events for coaches to review.
Later, when we were issued a brand new Sony U-matic three-quarter-inch video cassette recording deck, it seemed as though we had made the big time. This device was considerably larger than the consumer-grade VCRs that would follow a number of years later and utilized a broadcast-grade video format that predated Sony's Betamax. Best of all, even though we still had only a monochrome camera, the U-matic could record and playback in color!
The last new piece of video equipment I had the pleasure of operating before graduating from Bay High was a Sanyo VTC 7100 (thanks again, Google) video cassette deck that incorporated a proprietary video format, could be battery powered and, for its time, was very portable. It was matched with a Sanyo VC 500 camera that could be hand-held as well as tripod mounted. It was, unfortunately, monochrome as well but fun to use.
Of course, back then Bay High's AV department still provided old-fashioned 16mm movie projectors and ubiquitous slide projectors to teachers on an as-needed basis. But, from that point on, there was obviously no turning back from the video era!

On stage taking turns laying, pacing, picking at our shoes, punching text into our phones, checking baseball scores, and screaming lines like a machine gun, at extreme speed.
…For those of you new to the process, this is completely legal. In fact, there is no "right" or "wrong" way to do an Italian. The only qualifier is "speed."
…Some throw in blocking to help trigger memory…some lay on their backs staring into the rafter abyss, reciting like animatronic robots. Some pace back and forth with the urgency of an expectant father outside a maternity ward. Whatever gets the lines out…it's all open season.
I'm a pacer.
…Helps infuse energy.
…And while pacing, am stealing pictorals, at random. The things we see, before set and real props, painted floors, and all the magic dust they throw on stage during tech, begins to take place. Things like:
Behind fake walls, with legs up.
View from a ledge.
Before hang and focus.
Building trade-goods.
Hard-working professionals.
Boss of The Book.
An empty house.
…So now you know.

text: Fred didn't have the best attention to detail. Some elements of the deck were poorly constructed. Never finished the project. The time it took to make a simple deck was about 5 months. This project could have been done in 1 month. He had a lot of appointments and couldn't make us a priority to show up for work. I even helped him with the job and he didn't give us much of a price break. He also promised additional features which he never did and never returned. At the end of the day I would advise nobody to go with Fred, very poor experience, however our deck did get completed and looks great.

Blue Jasmine
Posted in Films at 12:00 on 21 November 2013
Gravier Productions. Written and Directed by Woody Allen.
So it was off to the local "Art House" cinema again. I was going to say for the first time since we went to see Brave (which I didn't blog about because there wasn't much to say about it – typical feel good Disney fare) but I'd forgotten about Austenland. I must have almost blanked it out.
You couldn't mistake Blue Jasmine for anything but a Woody Allen film. It has titles in that font he's used since nineteen hundred and a long time ago and a jazz soundtrack. It's unusual for a Woody Allen film to be mainly set in San Francisco though.
It tells the tale of Jasmine, a New York socialite who has fallen on hard times after her husband was arrested for illegal business dealings. She is shown as self-obsessed from the outset. On the plane to San Francisco, where she is going to live with her (half-)sister, Ginger, she babbles incessantly to the poor woman in the next seat who doesn't know her from Eve.
She looks down on both her sister and Chili, Ginger's boyfriend, who was about to move in until Jasmine's arrival upset their plans.
The film charts Jasmine's attempts to navigate her new cash-strapped life and try to make something of herself – or at least find a man who can give her back her former lifestyle – interspersed with flashes back to the "good" times with her husband (Alec Baldwin) who is revealed to have been dodgy in all aspects of his life.
Cate Blanchett's portrayal of the teetering on the edge of sanity Jasmine is a wonderful piece of acting. Sally Hawkins as Ginger (a strange choice of name for a brunette) is also convincing as a woman not terribly sure of herself or her worth. Apart from Chili (Bobby Cannavale) who seems genuinely attached to Ginger, most of the men in the film are untrustworthy in some way.
The final unravelling of the plot depends on a coincidental meeting but the information exchanged in this encounter would have emerged later in any case. This was a suitable way to dramatise it though.
There were acute observations of humanity here and as with much of Allen's output in his latter years only a few laughs. Fine performances from the cast – especially Max Rutherford's and Daniel Jenks's stunned expressions as Ginger's two sons when Jasmine unloads her woes on them while baby-sitting.

Sad Saturday
Hear the noise and laughter at the pool?
18 comments:
I actually prefer the first in its second incarnation. Still pretty, but more peaceful.ReplyDelete
An waterless pool is a sad thing though.
Wrinkles and failing joints, the land retaking itself from habitation, and the pool well, failed business venture?ReplyDelete
How things change over time. Trees missing and a deserted pool, sad really.ReplyDelete
The top one looks as it's still functioning in some for or other.ReplyDelete
Why do children find it irresistible to spray squiggles on everything?
The first one looks like a back to nature thing going on, the second is sadder.ReplyDelete
When you get used to certain things in life, it is rough to see it change into something else that's unfamiliar. As sad as it is, I like how you've shown what used to be at one time. Hugs, ROReplyDelete
Lee, I do like the scene with people enjoying themselves. That particular photo is contentious, with some comments along the lines of yours, liking the more natural state.ReplyDelete
It's very clever the way they do this Andrew.. as long as I never see one pertaining to myself and the decaying time lapse 😀😀ReplyDelete

Weleda Australia has been a leading manufacturer of natural and organic products, which is why many consumers trust this brand when it comes to healthy and safe products that promote their skin and wellbeing. It is quite common among people that after we use certain skin care products we experience dry, or worse, itchy skin. This means that you may have sensitive skin and the product you're using is definitely not a good match for you. There's no need to worry since Weleda AU provides skin care products that are suitable for all skin types, including those with sensitive skin.
Many consumers, specifically one in two, tend to experience sensitivity with other products and quite often it is due to the synthetic ingredients that are incorporated in some skin care products that you may not be aware of. However, this may not be the sole reason why you become sensitive to these type of products.
Here are some other reasons why your skin may experience sensitivity:
- It may be due to a skin condition called Atopic Dermatitis which is common in children but disappears when we become adults. It is a condition when the skin becomes red and itchy and although, it's not common in adults but it still leaves underlying vulnerabilities in the structure of our skin.
- Stress and hormonal fluctuation may also cause skin sensitivity.
- Environmental factors such as bad weather may also upset our skin.
What ingredients are suitable for Sensitive Skin?
If you have sensitive skin and react to synthetic ingredients or chemical irritants, then it's highly recommended that you choose natural and organic products because there is a lesser chance for your skin to experience sensitivity. If you buy Weleda products, you can choose those which contain sweet almond extracts or oil.
Sweet almond oil is highly regarded as an essential ingredient that is great for skin care. It is a light, smooth, as well as non-irritating extract, that is suitable for sensitive skin. Almonds are a great source of omega 6 essential fatty acids as well as antioxidants such as Vitamin E, which strengthens, smooths and protects the skin's natural barrier from irritants. It also exudes soothing and calming properties that is perfect for dry, sensitive, inflamed and allergy prone skin types.
Read related article "Weleda Products – All Natural And Cruelty-Free Products For Consumers Who Care".
Many Weleda stockists promote this brand because of the effectiveness and healthy goodness of their products, especially to those with sensitive skin. The Almond Soothing Facial Cream is the product you'll definitely want to get your hands on for example. It contains the highest quality of almond oil, palm oil and beeswax to nourish and protect sensitive skin throughout the day. Another equally luxurious product is the Weleda Skin Food, imbued with organic rejuvenating essential oils including sunflower seed oil, chamomile, wild pansy, rosemary and calendula. These ingredients work really well with dry, dull and flaky skin that needs extra care and nourishment.
In order to give your skin the protection and nourishment it deserves, choose healthy and natural products. At Love Thyself we promote products that have proven effectiveness to ensure healthy skin and wellbeing.

I just finished typing my resignation letter. It�s short�only three or four sentences�and it�s pretty lame. But it has a date on it, and that�s the important thing. I don�t know what I�m going to do, if you want to know the truth�try to do something with this writing thing, maybe take a few walks, I don�t know.
It�s frightening as shit, if you want to know the truth. I�ve quit jobs before, and I�ve quit them in all sorts of reckless ways that make this resignation look like a year�s advance notice. I�ve quit jobs without thinking twice about what I�ll be doing next. Trey showed up one night, asked me if I wanted to take a ride out to California with him, and I was gone.
I�m sure my boss appreciated that�one second he�s just standing there, watering his plants and enjoying his Saturday off, and the next, he�s got some shithead kid telling him that he (the shithead kid) won�t be at work on Monday, or any of the days after that. It was too bad, because I liked the guy and he deserved better than that. On the other hand, I had a chance to take a road trip to California with my best friend, a chance to shed a couple of fears and learn a few more things, and a chance to see a world outside of the town of Canadian, Texas: population 2,700. Because being stuck in a world where your business is everybody�s business, where you drink yourself to sleep every night because the thought of waking up to the same exact thing tomorrow is enough to keep you awake, and the only thing you�re going to learn about yourself is how many times you�ll take back the same cheating girlfriend�well, I deserve better than that.
Don�t get me wrong�Canadian isn�t a bad place. It�s just not for me. I was in neutral, revving my engine, stripping my gears�killing myself, as it were. And I went back, if you want to know the truth. I took my trip with Trey, we went out into the world, and I ended up in Canadian once more. I left again shortly after that, and lasted away for about six months(?) I think. Could be wrong about that one, hence the question mark in parentheses. Once more, I was back in Canadian. It wasn�t so bad, of course, because by then I was working for my sister at her print shop, which mostly meant playing with my nephew.
And then Trey was there again, asking would I like to live in NYC for a bit. I went for a visit, and he took my up on his roof that first night. I looked out at the city, at the buildings, at the life, and I was terrified. I told him I was in.
Every time I�ve left home, I�ve been scared to do it. But nothing compared to the way I felt a few days before a plane took me to the East coast. My belongings had been mailed in three boxes, my car was sold, and I was traveling across the country without a job, without any savings, and without a clue as to what would happen to me.
What ended up happening was I ran up a credit card debt of about eight grand, and I met my princess. Guess which one of those is the good thing. We eventually decided to move back down to Texas, and that was scary as shit, too. I was able to transfer, though, so I knew we would have an income when we arrived. Of course we didn�t have an apartment, we didn�t have any friends in the area, and I knew next to nothing about it. We found a great place to live, and it�s been good. Ups and downs, of course. And I fucking hate retail, customer service, and customers.
So now it�s time to move on, it�s time to do something new, it�s time to take that next step. And I�m scared, man. There are things you just don�t do, you know? And when you have a decent paying job, you don�t quit it just because you don�t like it. And you for sure don�t quit when you have no other prospects. And you for sure don�t quit when you have absolutely no plans to get another job.
�Of course you don�t,� my princess tells me. �But, baby, if we just hung around not doing the things we weren�t supposed to do, we never would have met.�
I love that girl, and I�m not just saying that because she�s telling me to get out of retail. I�m not just saying that because she�s pretty much going to give me a chance to live my dream of a life time. I�m not just saying that because she has the greatest ass I�ve ever seen on a real-life human being.
I�m saying it because she�s the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. I�m saying it because she�s my happily-ever-after girl. I�m saying it because she�s exceptionally smart, she�s funny, and she keeps me safe from the fires of idiocy that seem to constantly surround me.
And I�m saying it because she has the greatest ass I�ve ever seen on a real-life human being. Yeah, I know I said it wasn�t because of that, but whatever�if you saw her ass, you would probably fall in love, too.

The number one online travel marketplace, Priceline.com, has evolved its thinking about A/B testing to the point that the practice is more a state of mind than a periodic function.
"We have a tendency to look at A/B testing as function," Priceline.com's chief product officer John Caine said at GrowthBeat Monday. "A/B is actually a discipline; everything is an A/B test."
A/B testing refers to an Internet company testing different variants of a piece of web or app content to discover which is most effective or likely to get clicked.
Things get built at Priceline.com by small, autonomous groups that are not guided by HiPPO (the Highest Paid Person's Opinion), Caine pointed out. These workgroups at Priceline.com perform thousands and thousands of A/B tests each year to find out which messages work with which user types on which devices.
That's not to say that Priceline.com doesn't get some help in their testing from dedicated outside sources. How much testing to do in-house, Caine said, is a big question.
"Where can we selectively stop building and start buying?" he asked. "Today there's less competitive advantage to building first."
Caine said his company uses third-party optimization software (Optimizely, for one) to support the build of its personalization system.
Personalization is key if Priceline.com is to hold onto its position as the top travel site.
"The future of travel is being invisible," Caine said. He believes that as personalization and recommendation engines get better and better (in part, through A/B testing), the number of touches of the user by the tech company will go way down. They simply won't be necessary.
"Things that were hard will become easy," Caine said. "You could open up your phone and see a message that says "We've got the perfect place for you to stay."

Pufferfish are among
the most popular
oddball fishes for freshwater
and brackish-water aquaria.
They are very entertaining fish, full
of life and constantly on the
move. Most also seem to be
quite intelligent, quickly
learning to recognize
their owners and often
becoming tame enough
to be hand fed. While
puffers can be fussy
about water chemistry
and filtration, they
are otherwise very
adaptable and present
the aquarist with few
serious problems. In
fact, the most widely
traded species can be
considered hardy and easy to
keep. The icing on the cake is
that pufferfish are very effective
snail destroyers, and a tank with
a pufferfish in it is a tank without
pesky snails.
In short, puffers are cute, hardy,
and useful fish for the home aquarium.
So why doesn't every aquarist keep
them? The main problem with puffers is
their behavior; they may look sweet, but
many are surprisingly temperamental, while
others like to bite chunks out of the fins of
slow-moving tankmates. Some species are very
tolerant and accommodating while young, but
become much more solitary and aggressive as they
mature. Complicating matters further is that their social
behavior can be unpredictable, even within species, and
many aquarists have watched a seemingly well-behaved
pufferfish turn into a psychotic killer overnight.
Not all species of pufferfish have the same reasons for biting their
tankmates. Some take nips out of all sorts of things because they're hungry.
In the wild, puffers scour plants and rocky areas looking for their preferred
prey, and in the process they take experimental bites out of anything that looks
edible. Anyone who has kept pufferfish will recall their intensely curious behavior,
swimming up and down plants and into caves as they examine every inch of the
aquarium for food. While this is a useful behavior in their natural habitat, in captivity it
can lead to bad habits like taking chunks out of plastic tubing, destruction of plants, and yes,
However, other puffers, particularly the small freshwater species of the genus Carinotetraodon,
fiercely defend their territories. They will attack tankmates not out of hunger, but out of anger.
Superficially, this would appear easy enough to work around: simply give the fish enough space that it
doesn't feel that its territory is threatened. In practice though, these small pufferfish are rarely kept in large
enough aquaria for this to be a viable solution. After all, who's going to set aside 40 gallons for a fish little
bigger than a neon tetra?
A few puffers appear to be dedicated fin-nippers, viewing the bodies of larger or slow-moving fish
as nothing more than "sushi on the go." These fish are very difficult to keep in community tanks.

The FBI informed Congress on Sunday that it has not changed its conclusions about Hillary Clinton's use of her private email server. After reviewing the emails that were found on the computer of Anthony Weiner – the sex-crazed, estranged husband of Hillary's top aide, Huma Abedin – the FBI has decided that Clinton is off the hook.
The investigation of the email situation was re-opened on October 28. And though it has been evident that Clinton and her staff were careless about the emails, apparently the FBI has determined that there is not enough evidence to charge the Democratic nominee.
"Based on our review, we have not changed our conclusions that we expressed in July," FBI Director James Comey said in the letter to top Republicans on the House Oversight Committee.
In recent days since the investigation was re-opened, Donald Trump has gained significantly on Clinton in the polls. So, what will be the impact of this new announcement? With two days left until the presidential election, it's impossible to tell.

4 September 2019
Transport for London (TfL) recently announced that it is taking steps to make sure that the roadworks in and around the city are safer and smarter whilst the network is being worked on.
During the London RoadLab programme, suppliers were invited to pitch their ideas for tackling some of the largest problems caused by roadworks in the city, and at the end of the programme, nine solutions were shortlisted. The finalists received £200,000 each to help develop their scheme further.
Following the ten-week programme, four products, with a total value of up to £2m, were chosen to be taken through to the contract negotiations stage. These included:
- Immense Simulations - Developing an automated way of modelling the impacts of roadworks before they are done, which will improve the flow of traffic and reduce disruption. This modelling is traditionally a very time-consuming process.
- Mobilised Construction and Route Reports - Two different solutions that fit internet-enabled devices to TfL buses and Dial-a-Ride vehicles and collect data on road quality. This would allow TfL to identify where the road surface is wearing out in real-time and make it much easier to predict where maintenance will be needed. This data could also help the London Boroughs with their highway maintenance activity.
- SAM - Using artificial intelligence (AI) to monitor social media to identify incidents and emergency events on the roads. This could allow TfL to respond to incidents more quickly.
TfL's Lane Rental programme funded the challenge. Under this programme utility companies effectively "rent" road space whilst they're being dug up for maintenance. The money raised is then invested into tackling congestion in the capital and minimising the impact of roadworks. Since its start, this scheme has saved £100m in lost travel time.
The London RoadLab programme is the first example of TfL using an innovation partnership procedure and the first time TfL has worked with the private sector. The process has been created to make it easier for the public sector to encourage invention and innovation from start-ups, as well as larger companies, without getting in the way of competition or operational transparency.
Michael Hurwitz, TfL's Director of Transport Innovation, said: "We're working closely with partners across London to make the capital one of the world's smartest cities and these projects all have the potential to make a real difference to the safety and efficiency of roadworks in London.
London RoadLab is a completely new way of procuring for TfL and we're excited to see these products in action on the capital's streets, helping to tackle congestion and making our roads safer, and smarter."
At the same time, Cllr. Julian Bell, Chair of London Councils' Transport and Environment Committee, said: "London's boroughs are responsible for managing 95 per cent of London's streets, helping millions of people to make safe and reliable journeys every single day.
Boroughs work hard to plan and coordinate roadworks as efficiently as possible but urgent repairs and incidents are unpredictable and cause delays and disruption that eat up time and resources."

Monday, the first day of Rosh Hashana, a Manhattan Supreme Court Judge issued a ruling striking down a challenge to the practice of Kapores on New York City Streets.
Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Debra James ruled that the practice of Kaporos, during which chickens are slaughtered before the high holy day of Yom Kippur to atone for sins, can proceed, knocking down a challenge by a Brooklyn animal-rights group.
The group argued that the ritual was a public nescience and a public health hazard as well animal cruelty.
The judge sidestepped the religious argument, saying there just wasn't enough proof that the ritual was a public nuisance.

This is a review of our BOGO special.
For you innkeepers I will say it brought up the bottom line for the month and paid the bills. We also had those who added on stuff, which I had hoped for, like breakfast delivery to the room, cheese fruit and cracker plate, etc. Not most, some. Next year IF I do this again, I will send out a secondary email with those choices to add on...
and as mentioned, MAJORITY used this as a romantic escape, and used the robes and enjoyed the inn, vers being out and about most of the time.

kurmanci and sorani
silav hevalno,
here i will show you some lttle examples of the difference in sytax between kurmanci and sorani.
(s) = sorani
(k) = kurmanci
1. example:
Mâlaka i Dara sûtim. (s)
Min mal a Dara shevûtand. (k)
sûtim = min shevutand; malaka i Dara = mal a dara;
I burned Dara's house down.
Ich brannte Dara´s Haus nieder.
the same positions of the words.
2. example:
Na-m-dît-ît. (s)
min tu nedî. (k)
tu = -ît; min = -m-; dî = dît; ne = Na;
word position is too much different.
I have not see you.
Ich habe dich nicht gesehen.
i have = ich habe; not see = nicht gesehen; dich = you;
almost the same postion of the words.
3. example: (ich sende diese Bücher zu ihnen)
min am kitawanayan bo danêrim. (s)
ez van pirtûkan ji wan re dishînim. (k)
min = ez; am kitawana = van pirtûkan; -yan bo = ji wan re; danêrim = dishînim;
Ich sende ihnen die Bücher.
I send them the books.
exactly the same order of the words.
Parakay le girtim û pey witim ... (s)
Wî para ji min stand û min re got ... (k)
"Wî" = "-y" (he), Paraka = para (money), le girtim = ji min stand (took from me), pey witim = min re got (said to me).
er hat das geld von mir genommen und sagte mir.
he has taken the money from me and said to me.
he has = er hat; taken = genommen; the money from me = das geld von mir; und sagte mir = and said to me;
also here almost the same word order.
source: http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~iranian/Sorani/index.html
conclusion: the difference between kurmanci and sorani is like german and dutch. they have too much differences. now i understand why it couldnt be possible to create a kurdish standard-langauge that can be understand by kurmancs and sorans. if you create one, then it cannot be understiood by kurmancs and sorans as well.
we can be happy that the sorans consider themselfs as kurds, and dont want a soranistan or something else. they they support also kurmanci in southern kurdistan.

NSUN's views on 'Mental Health in the Long Term Plan for the NHS'
The Prime Minister has said the government will reveal a new "sustainable long term plan" for the NHS over the next year, which will be backed by "a multiyear funding settlement". A five year funding settlement will be mapped to this ten year plan.
GPs, patients and Healthcare professionals were asked to
feed into the plan
with a deadline of 31.8.18.
Clare Murdoch is leading the mental health workstream and asked a range of stakeholders to share their priorities and contribute views on the challenges of transforming mental health services in the long term.

Social Spider launch new community newspaper
Social Spider CIC are launching a new community newspaper in the London Borough of Enfield.
Enfield Dispatch
will be a free, monthly publication with 10,000 copies distributed primarily via community venues across the borough.
It is a difficult time for local newspapers within the UK, with local print advertising revenue dropping from £1,273 Billion in 2012 to £675 million in 2017
This has not deterred Social Spider from launching 3 newspapers in 4 years - using a social enterprise community newspaper model developed and adapted in response to these challenging market conditions.
Their two existing community newspapers
Waltham Forest Echo
(launched in 2014) and
Tottenham Community Press
(launched in 2016) combine professional journalism with voluntary contributions from people who live and work in the local area. They work in partnership with local businesses, charities, social enterprises and other community organisations to generate advertising income and distribute the newspapers.
This model of publication is relatively low cost compared to corporate local media but also creates publications which are more responsive to and reflective of the communities they serve.
Social Spider are planning to work with people in local communities to launch other community newspapers across the UK over the next two years. If you would like to support this work or have ideas about areas where a community newspaper is needed please contact

The Everyday Psych Victims Project
The Everyday Psych Victims Project (EPVP) catalogues victimization by the "mental health" field experienced daily by millions of people.
It is a platform for people to share their story, create a lobby, and to highlight the rights violations, discrimination, and harm that "mental health" is founded upon. They give Psych Victims a voice.
Their mission is to represent Psych Victims who are cast out and voiceless and say
'We're creating a new, unheard narrative'.
History of EPVP
'Founded in August 2016, EPVP has grown in readership, teamwork, and membership.
We started on Social Media with our largest readership being on Facebook. As of July 2018, we had over 3,500 followers on Facebook, over 3,300 on Twitter, and over 270 subscribers on YouTube.
We've interviewed via Skype over a dozen people since we started with most victims taking psuedonyms or being anonymous.
We focus on awareness, reporting, activism, video-creation, narratives, and showing the perspective of psych victims.
We hope that you can empower yourself and others with our collaborative website platform from 2018 onward. We give psych victims a voice.'

Employers' Network: Positive about Pathways to Work
The Health and Work Unit is run by a cross-government team, and is jointly sponsored by the Department for Work and Pensions and the Department of Health and Social Care. The unit is working towards inclusive workplaces for everyone.
In line with this work, we are inviting employers across the voluntary, community, social enterprise and the public sectors through the Health and Wellbeing Alliance to join an initiative that will bring together a group of employers who will commit to being part of a pilot programme aimed at embedding positive attitudes towards employing and supporting people with long term conditions and disabled people.
This pilot will result in a network of employers that are "Positive about Pathways to Work". Our aim is that the network will grow and have a life beyond this project.
We are encouraging members of the pilot to try and commit to employing at least one person with a long term health condition and/or disability.

WASHINGTON — The Washington Redskins replacement players deserve Super Bowl rings for their contribution to the 1987 season, longtime Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann says.
The NFL players' strike in 1987 was the subject of a new ESPN documentary which aired Tuesday — '30 for 30: Year of the Scab' — bringing new light to a much forgotten part of Washington's Super Bowl XXII-championship season.
The Redskins went 11-4 that season, with all Week 3 NFL games being cancelled due to the players' strike, and went 3-0 with replacement players in Weeks 4 through 6.
Notably, Washington's replacement players defeated the Cowboys — who had a number of prominent players cross the picket line for that game — 13-7 at Dallas on Oct. 19, 1987. Washington's replacement players also beat the Cardinals and Giants, respectively, in the weeks prior.
The Redskins went on to win Super Bowl XXII, defeating Denver 42-10. Those replacement players were given a share of the championship money, though they never received Super Bowl rings for their contribution.
Theismann called into 106.7 The Fan's 'Grant & Danny Show' as Grant Paulsen and Danny Rouhier were discussing the 'scab' season Wednesday afternoon.
"I'm just listening to you guys talk about the replacement players and I watched the 30 for 30 last night on the guys," Theismann said. "If they hadn't won those three football games, would the Redskins been in a position to be able to win a world championship?"
"No," Paulsen said.
"Okay. So they should have deserved the same rings that the players got," Theismann said. "Because they played in games — not some replica — of what the 'players,' quote, unquote, that were on strike, got."
"I just think it was unfair," he said. "I think that those guys deserve [rings], as much as any player on that football team, because they had as much to do with the fact that they won the world championship as anybody, and they deserve the same treatment as the other guys."
