CHICAGO, Ill. (April 30, 2015)—The first round of the NFL Draft is in Chicago Thursday night, and the Indianapolis Colts will have the 29th pick.
For more than 50 years, the NFL Draft has called New York home, but this year, the draft touched down in Chicago. Many Colts fans traveled to the Windy City so see it in person.
"It's a big deal," said Frank Corrado, who has attended the Draft for 37 years. "I'm impressed. I thought New York was the only place to have it, and so far I'm impressed."
Colts fans FOX59 spoke with say they are happy the Draft is in Chicago.
"The new city that it's in and everything they got set up, it looks like it's going to be a great event," said Heath Mendenhall.
Mendenhall and his father are life-long Colts fans, traveling to Chicago from South Bend.
"Basically all our lives, we have gone to lots of Colts games," Mendenhall said.
Fans enjoyed several events in the city, including Draft Town, the ultimate football fan experience. What's the best part about it? It's completely free for all fans for the three days of the draft!
So far, the reviews of the draft and fan experience are great. Fans FOX59 spoke with hope the NFL Draft will soon come to Indianapolis.
"I think it would be awesome if it were in Indy," said Mendenhall. "I think it would be just the way we did the Super Bowl a few years ago."

The DT34 series is one of the best-selling truss systems ever. This 29cm series with conical connector is characterised by its high load-bearing capacity and very low weight. The advantage of the quick connector system is that it is force-locked to the belt tube and enables quick assembly and dismantling during frequent assembly.
The four belt tubes are made of 50 mm aluminium tube with 2 mm wall thickness and give this system an excellent weight-to-load ratio. The struts have a diameter of 20 mm with a wall thickness of 2 mm.
Optionally, the system can be expanded with various corners, T-pieces, angles and circles. A comprehensive range of accessories including hooks, connectors, floor plates, wall brackets, spacers and much more round off the delivery programme.
The system from European production is compatible with the most common systems on the market and of course TÜV certified.

Susanna Reid dating Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish
Good Morning Britain star Susanna Reid is reportedly dating Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish.
TV host Susanna, 47, and divorced Steve, 53, are said to have started seeing each other over the summer and have enjoyed cosy dinner dates, a romantic mini-break and a number of visits to Selhurt Park.
"They have known each other for several years through their connections to Palace," a friend said.
"Over the summer they started hanging out more and fell for each other.
"They have a real chemistry, a wicked sense of humour and both are real family people. Plus, of course, they share a love of the Eagles," the friend added to The Sun.
Steve, who is thought to be worth £45 million, has two grown up daughters.
Susanna previously hinted that she was seeing someone during a chat with co-host Piers Morgan while the pair discussed Love Island.
Piers told Susanna she should apply for the show as she is "popular and single", to which she replied: "How do you know I'm single?"

Early last week Susanna also told of how she was ready to start dating again following her split from Dominic Cotton. The former couple were together for 16 years.
Susanna, who says she never married because her parents' divorce led to a 'choppy' childhood, has focused much of her time outside the GMB studio on bringing up her three sons Sam, 16, Finn, 14, and Jack, 13.
But speaking to You Magazine , she revealed: "I'm definitely open to dating again.
"This is the right time of my life to explore that now. I've spent a significant amount of time since the split focused on the children and on work. That's been absolutely the right thing to do for the past couple of years.
"My children are all teenagers now – they're much more independent. They do things after school, they've got loads of friends, so I think they encouraged me to think about developing that side of my life a little bit more.
"You want your children to be happy with what you're doing."
The Mirror has contacted representatives for Susanna and Steve for comment.

Topic #233: Describe the perfect Sunday.
May Day is the perfect Sunday. Traditions, Mawrtyrs, strawberries and cream, the May Hole, Step Sing, The Philadelphia Story, drinks on the Green: all set against the unparalleled backdrop of Bryn Mawr College — how could a Sunday be better? Ordinarily, I'm not especially attached to any particular day, but Bryn Mawr's May Day is always on Sunday, and every May Day I have attended has been glorious.
Freshman year, everything was brand new. I'd never seen a May Hoop race or heard hundreds of people shouting "Hey hey, ho ho, the patriarchy has got to go" together and screaming along to Dar Williams' "As Cool As I Am." I'd never seen The Philadelphia Story (especially not with other Mawrtyrs, and trust me, that's an experience all its own). I hadn't experienced the way Bryn Mawr bids farewell to seniors with "Good Night," the same way the frosh are welcomed at the beginning of the year. It was my very first May Day, and I'd never seen anything like it.
When May Day came around in 2008, May Day was no longer new, but it was still special. I knew what was happening, and instead of making it feel less exciting, I felt like an inner member of the club. I wasn't just experiencing our traditions; I was owning them. The Shakespeare Performance Troupe performed part of their production of Servant of Two Masters, which was fantastic. The Philadelphia Story was better than ever, similar to the way repeat viewings of The Rocky Horror Picture Show allow for one to participate in the experience.
Junior year proved that even immense amounts of rain can't stop Mawrtyrs from celebrating May Day. The rain actually made the May Hole dance particularly fun; we danced in the rain and slide around on top of the parachute that usually sends rose petals flying up into the sky. The downpour ceased in time for the Step Sing, and The Philadelphia Story took place inside Thomas as always.
My last May Day as a student was also my first Grand May Day. Everything was especially meaningful because I knew that it would, in many ways, be my last. My suitemate and I woke extra early so that we could sing outside Pen-Y-Groes, the President's house before climbing to the top of one of Rock's towers with other seniors. It was a brilliant view. We had mimosas in our suite with friends (a tradition that was May Day gifted to my suitemate by a friend) and then headed on to the special seniors' brunch at Wyndham (which involved even more mimosas, as well as the traditional strawberries and cream).
The sun was shining; I had Bryn Mawr nalgenes full of Sex On The Beach and Mojito; I sang my senior solo with my amazing a cappella group. It was a fabulous day. I indulged in both streaking during the Step Sing and skinny-dipping in both the Cloisters and Taft Garden. I sat on the Senior Steps for the Step Sing, and it was a wonderful feeling. Drinking, singing, shouting, Anassing, crying — it was an intense Step Sing. It was a grand mess, and one I wouldn't have exchanged for anything.
I wasn't able to make the trip to Bryn Mawr for May Day this year, but I celebrated in my own way. And for this upcoming May Day, I'm hoping and planning to actually be at Bryn Mawr. May Day at the Mawr is my idea of the perfect Sunday.

I'm going through the final things I need to do before church and then, after church, it's lunch, and the shuttle. I'm loading my Ipod with episodes of Grey's Anatomy (pathetic I can't even watch one TV show without having to download it) and I have a book. I have a notebook as well, which is all anyone who likes to write really needs.
My bags are packed and I'm ready to go....thank you John Denver.
It's always nice to get a way for a brief time to a different place with different responsibilities. And I'm always glad to come back home.
I'll attempt to post more later today.

The digital shift for buy-to-let investors
Matthew Daines, co-founder of lettingaproperty.com discusses how technology will change in the future to benefit both landlord and tenant:
"With such a wealth of affordable technology now readily available, landlords can optimise the marketing and availability of their investments to potential tenants far more efficiently than ever before possible."
Online agents:
"The advent of digital marketing for landlords has changed the face of the rental market considerably, and with 95% of all tenants searching for properties online, the shift in landlords moving away from the high street is, and will continue to be, considerable. Many landlords are now recognising the benefits of using cost effective technology online agents such as lettingaproperty.com adopt to make it easier and cheaper for properties to be marketed to the masses.
Digital property inspections and agreements:
"Deposit schemes and tenancy agreements have long created problems for landlords, and an increasing number of tenants are requesting more reliable inventories as a prevention to secure a property and measure against unfairly lost deposits.
"Pen and paper inventories and agreements will soon become a thing of the past due to the traditional method being laborious and time-intensive. To counter this, digital property inspection systems and smartphone applications will soon become the norm resulting in a considerable reduction in the time it takes to complete a fast, reliable inspection and put a professional and legally-sound agreement in place.
"Lettingaproperty.com report that over 30% of their tenancy agreements are sent to both landlords and tenants in a digital format allowing both parties to review and sign their agreements from a place and a time suitable to them foregoing the need to meet each other or send such documents via traditional methods such as a postal service.
Video and app-based communication:
"Landlords will increasingly communicate with their tenants via video technology and social media, and with more landlords embracing sophisticated video making on their mobile device, it's likely that interest from tenants will be qualified quicker because they have already seen the property layout online without the need to visit the property personally.
"With today's technology, providing an e-commerce platform to engage and execute our objective has been tried, tested and successful. 4,700 landlords have already moved away from traditional methods and benefited from enlisting our online services. We have witnessed, first-hand, that the industry is poised for a significant momentum shift to a digital platform and we are poised to take the lead.
"At present, online agents showcase approximately 3% of the UK Estate industry property stock. With the speed and track record of how other consumer services have adapted to the digital age, experts believe this could reach an incredible 50% by the year 2020."

Bond Street Books
In this groundbreaking book, Tim Harford, the Undercover Economist, shows us a new and inspiring approach to solving the most pressing problems of our lives. When faced with complex situations, we have all become accustomed to looking toward leaders to set out a plan of action and blaze a path to success. Harford argues that today's challenges simply cannot be tackled with ready-made solutions and expert opinion, the world has become for too unpredictable, and profoundly complex. Instead, we must learn to adapt.
Deftly weaving together psychology, evolutionary biology, anthropology, physics, and economics, along with compelling stories of hard-won lessons learned in the field, Harford makes a passionate case for the importance of adaptive trial and error in tackling terrorism, climate change, poverty, and financial crisis – as well as in fostering innovation and creativity in our business and personal lives.
Taking us from corporate boardrooms to the deserts of Iraq, Adapt clearly explains the necessary ingredients for turning failure into success. It is a breakthrough handbook for surviving – and prospering – in our complex and ever-shifting world.
Tim Harford is the Undercover Economist and Dear Economist columnist for the Financial Times. His writing has also appeared in Esquire, Forbes, New York magazine, Wired, The Washington Post, and The New York Times. His previous books include The Undercover Economist and The Logic of Life. Harford presents the popular BBC radio show More or Less and is a visiting fellow at London's Cass Business School. He is the winner of the 2006 Bastiat Prize for economic journalism and the 2010 Royal Statistical Society award for excellence in journalism.

VICTORIA's most popular spots to build a new home have been revealed as rising house prices continue to push families further from the city.
Affordability, amenities and transport links are key factors influencing buyers as they consider their options on Melbourne's outer fringe.
Rockbank, Officer and Berwick were the three most searched suburbs for house and land packages across the state on property website realestate.com.au in the six months to January.
Epping and Craigieburn in the city's outer north rounded out the top five.
Meanwhile, Hampton Park's Kaya, Mernda's Rivendell Heights and AVJenning's Hazelcroft at Doreen were the most inquired on estates.
REA Group executive general manager commercial and developer Joseph Lyons said demand for house and land packages had surged as many buyers were priced out of traditional suburbs.
"Housing affordability is a real issue in Melbourne, particularly in the inner ring, and with house and land packages you can still buy a lot for $240,000, average lot size 430 sq m," he said.
"That's very affordable if you compare to properties in more established suburbs in Melbourne."
Mr Lyons added transport links and investment in the outer west had made it a popular choice.
"Rockbank is the most searched suburb (for house and land) and it's 29km west of the CBD, excluding traffic it's probably a 30 minute drive to the CBD, with reasonable transport links, infrastructure investment and the nearby Rockbank train station that's going to be upgraded, so people in time will have access to good public transport out there," Mr Lyons said.
The suburb's Woodlea masterplanned community from Mirvac is the largest land estate in Melbourne west, with space for about 7000 homes.
Project director Matthew Dean said it was also "the fastest selling community in Australia."
"Probably the main reason for the success of the project is the transport connections," he said.
"Rockbank train station is literally across the road and it's 30 minutes into Southern Cross, plus we've got a lot of community facilities going in early in the project."
Mr Dean said a town centre and schools were due to spring up in the next couple of years.
"The other key thing is the site actually has about 30 per cent open space across the project, including parklands and wetlands, which is quite unusual for a project our size," he said.
Mr Dean said house and land packages varied from the low $400,000s to the mid $500,000s at Woodlea.
In Melbourne's north, AVJennings' smaller Hazelcroft estate at Doreen will feature 380 lots, with house and land packages typically selling for between $320,000 and $450,000.
First-home buyers Adam Robb and Kelly Chettle live at Hazelcroft with their daughter Jessica and said affordability and proximity to friends and family were important.
"Community-wise, the neighbours are all good and we've got a park out the front and out the back which is good for our five year old," Mr Robb said.
AVJennings general manager Angus Johnson said the developer wanted to create a quiet and idyllic community with parks and trails that was well connected.
More from news
"In particular, purchasers have been attracted to Hazelcroft's proximity to amenity that span a number of existing services, parks and schools, and more recently the newly proposed train station at Mernda that is scheduled for completion in early 2019," he said.

BMW M3 GTR Street Version
In February BMW will present a pure-bred sportscar for road use - the BMW M3 GTR powered by a V8 engine. This car, which is racing from victory to victory in the American Le Mans Series (ALMS), will be built by BMW M from January 2002. The flexible production facilities of BMW Individual permit the production of a small series. Road licensing is possible.
By using carbon fibre body parts and by completely foregoing any comfort equipment, the two-seater M3 GTR is a car for true purists. An empty weight of approx. 1350 kilograms has been achieved. The 4.0 litre V8 engine with a cylinder bank angle of 90 degrees resembles the race version featuring in excess of 450 hp. Due to the necessary adaptations regarding emissions and noise levels the road version still generates more than 258 kW (350 hp).
The M3 GTR road version is kept technically as close as possible to the racing version. Apart from the extremely light V8 engine this includes dry sump lubrication, a 6-speed gearbox, a two-disc sports clutch and the variable M differential lock.
For weight reduction purposes the roof, the rear spoiler as well as the front and rear aprons are made of carbon fibre reinforced plastic - just like in the race version. The extended front and rear apron as well as the rear spoiler optimise the aerodynamics of the M3 GTR. Additional cooling slits in the bonnet ensure the high-performance powerplant's thermal well-being.
The BMW M3 GTR features an extremely lowered suspension and enormously sporty suspension settings. The compact V8 high-performance engine permits optimum weight distribution which, together with the 19-inch sports wheels, guarantee outstanding handling properties.
This level of exclusiveness also calls for a great deal of highly qualified manual workmanship giving the price of the BMW M3 GTR a new dimension. The price of approx. 250,000 euros reflects the extraordinary technology of this car.

Iran staged war games on Friday involving newly developed rapid redeployment units focused on fighting enemy aggressors and armed militants, state media reported, amid increased tensions with the United States and following a militant attack.Story here.
Around 12,000 elite troops, armored vehicles, fighter jets and drones were taking part in the two-day exercises, staged in the central province of Isfahan, state television said.
Deployed by transport planes and 60 helicopters, commandos hunted mock armed militants, while an armored battalion blocked "enemy" forces trying to retreat, state media said.
"In these war-games we will showcase two important developments: a special-forces rapid deployment battalion and a highly mobile offensive armored battalion," General Kioumars Heydari, head of the regular army's ground forces, told state television.
Heydari said the war games would delight Iran's friends and show any aggressors that they would face a "rapid and crushing blow" by the Iranian army, the state news agency IRNA reported.
Interesting isn't it. Why would the Iranians time such an event now? Could it have anything to do with the recent Israeli airstrikes and their Intel Minister stating that they're in "open hostilities" with Iran?
I would bet it does.
Many won't agree but the Iranians are usually a bit more subtle. Even the wording used is provocative in a way that I haven't heard from the Iranians. The Iranian General talked about a "highly mobile offensive armored battalion"??? They usually talk only in defensive terms.
For the General to talk about an offensive armored force is MOST DEFINITELY a shot across the bow of Israel.
I don't know the capabilities or make up of this unit but I'll be looking for hints in the future.

Churches in Ohio are automatically exempt from paying sales tax on certain transactions. However, to receive the exemption, a tax exempt certificate must be completed and provided to the vendor from whom you purchase taxable goods or services. You do not need a sales tax exempt identification number from Ohio, and you do not need to submit any paperwork to the state on behalf of the church to receive the exemption.
Obtain the tax exempt certificate you require from the Ohio Department of Taxation (tax.ohio.gov). Be aware that there are several types of exemption certificates. Use a blanket certificate, which has no expiration date, to cover all purchases you make from a vendor from the date you provide the certificate. Use a unit, or single-use, certificate to cover purchases you make from a vendor in an isolated transaction; you may not use a single-use certificate on a later date. Use a multiple points exemption certificate to purchase items from vendors that have multiple vending avenues, such as online or in-store; select either a blanket or single-use multiple point exemption on this form.

John Kerry Miller
Olney ~ John Kerry Miller, age 76, passed away on Wednesday, June 5th, 2019, at Medical City in Dallas, Texas, from complications of lymphoma. Church services will be held at 10:00 a.m. Friday, June 14th, 2019, at First United Methodist Church in Olney with Reverend Harrell Braddock, Jr. and Mr. Kelly Mahler officiating. Arrangements are under the direction of Lunn Funeral Home of Olney.
John was born on June 2nd, 1943, in Boone, North Carolina to the late Buna Verlee (McGuire) Miller and Ruben Alexander Miller, the fifth of eight children. He moved to New Castle, Delaware, in 1954 and graduated from William Penn High School in 1961. While in school, John met his beloved partner in life, Joan Rose Hines, of New Castle, Delaware. John and Joan were married September 5th, 1964, in Elkton, Maryland. While working through college to support his growing family, he earned a Bachelor Arts in Business from the University of Delaware in 1971. John's career brought the family to Olney, TX, in 1975 as plant manager of a newly-built manufacturing facility, Electric Hose and Rubber Co. In the early 1980's, John transitioned into private business. Along with his partner and friend of over 35 years, Mr. Allen Gameson, they acquired and built Olney Hardware and Supply Co., a general hardware and oil field supply and service store, prospering for decades in a volatile industry. John and Allen also operated several oilfield leases with production over the years. John was a member of the First United Methodist Church and served on the Olney ISD school board. A man of faith, quiet conviction, and humility, John was steadfastly devoted to his wife of 54 years, Joan, and their 6 children, 18 grandchildren, and 9 great-grandchildren. He enjoyed family gatherings for holidays, working in his yard and flowerbeds, and especially dancing hand-inhand with Joan.

The discovery of large colonial ascidians remain as unusual or striking fact (Ramos-Esplá & Ocaña, 2017). Morphotypes of elongated colonies has been cited in some ascidians families such as Didemnidae and Holozoidae (Millar, 1971; Monniot et al. 1991), with most singular case in Distaplia cylindrica from Antarctic waters which can reach to 7 m of length (Kott, 1969). Other reports shown colonies of Eudistoma elongatum (Herdman, 1886), Distaplia cylindrica (Lesson, 1830) and Aplidium proliferum (Milne Edwards, 1841) attaining to 2,5 m lenght (Page & Kelly, 2013; Ramos-Esplá & Ocaña, 2017). These species shown colonies elongated to cylindrical shape with form of drop or tears (Biosecurity New Zealand, 2007).
In E. elongatum there is a seasonal pattern in the colonial growth where the colonies regress and over-winter as small (c. 10 mm) cream buds and re-growing the following spring to larger colonies (Page & Kelly, 2013). Fast growth produce didemnid colonies of great size, extending over more than a square meter when the substrate is large enough. However, this colonies are encrusting (Monniot et al. 1991).
Some patagonian specimens of Polyzoa opuntia has been sized as large as 15 cm of length in some Chilean fjords (Tatián & Lagger, 2009). Others Chilean populations of Polyzoa opuntia form colonies of 10 cm or more in extent, comprising numerous zooids averaging about 10 mm height and 4 mm diameter. Zooids are typically cylindrical and connected by a basal test only (Turon et al. 2016b). However, these colonies are usually found on thin elongated objects, such as polychaete tubes, shells of bivalves or branches. The body wall of zooids removed from their test is muscular and thick.
The present study have as goals to report the presence of giant colonies in relation to previous studies of the ascidians P opuntia in some locations of the Magellan Region, to show changes of colonial shape with size as with substrate as well as to describe the weight-length relationship in this colonial species. The large abundance and large size of colonies could produce problemas of biosecurity and fouling in aquaculture, in coastal building and in equipments disposed in Antarctic and Magellan Subantarctic areas (Biosecurity New Zealand, 2007).
Some colonies were collected during September, 2013 (Turon et al. 2016a, 2016b), which were used mainly to analyse the change of colonial shape with size around Punta Arenas (Cabo Negro Cape and Santa Ana Point), Magellan Strait, Chile. Other samples were collected between September to December of 2016 in Porvenir Bay, Punta Arenas and Puerto Williams, Beagle Channel, respectively (Table 1) and were surveyed by SCUBA diving or by pulling up ropes and collecting directly from pier or docks. Other colonies were collected during November, 2018, in an intertidal fringe fixed of a stranded ship (MV Magallanes III) located in the sandy beach off Catalina Bay, Punta Arenas (Table 1). At each site, the colonies were randomly collected from artificial (docks, pilings, piers, aquaculture facilities) and natural substratum (shell of Mytilus spp; four species are reported in Magellan waters; Oyarzún et al. 2016). Sampling was exhaustive (i.e., typically, surveys lasted ca. 1 hr of diving and the depths studied ranged from 2 to 4 m). Surface temperature of sea water was recorded with a digital thermometer (± 0,1 °C) in both locations; salinity and dissolved oxygen were previosuly recorded in Porvenir Bay, showing estuarine and oxygenated condition along the year (Cañete et al. 2014).
Ascidians were photographed in vivo, carefully collected in Ziploc bags, and brought to the laboratory as soon as possible (within 2 hrs after collection). Ascidians were placed in trays and relaxed with a combination of menthol (adding 1 or 2 ml of saturated menthol solution) and a cold treatment (keeping the trays in a freezer until ice formed on the surface).
Colonies were classified in three morphological patterns, which was related to the size: small were rounded, mid size with drop shape and the largest colonies were cylindrical and longest colonies. Colonies were counted according to shape pattern to estímate the frequency and each measured in the largest axe.
Total weight and length measurements were based on relaxed colonies collected in 2016 and 2018 (N = 104), considering all morphological pattern. All were dryed to the air during 10 minutes to eliminate remanent of water, weighted and recording the complete colony diameter (small colonies) or the total length (large colonies) using a common ruler, respectively. Samples were then split for preservation: most of the material was fixed in formaldehyde 4% for morphological observation. Ascidians were identified to species level using relevant literature (Sanamyan et al. 2003; Turon et al. 2016a, b). Taxonomy followed the guidelines of the World Register of Marine Species (Shenkar et al. 2017).
Specimens preserved in formaldehyde were deposited in the Systematic Room, Instituto de la Patagonia, Universidad de Magallanes, Punta Arenas, Chile (SRIP-UMAG, Codes 2927 900178).
This study considered the analysis of 104 colonies for morphological and quatitative analysis. Three morphological patterns were observed, according to the size: a) small colonies, with rounded shape, with 1 to 15 cm of diameter (55%) (Figure 1a; Figure 2), b) medium size colonies collected under a stranded, old boat from Puerto Williams, Navarino Island, Chile, which showing shaped drops colonies. This shape was observed in colonies vertically attached from subtrata (31%) (Figure 1b; Figure 2); similar shape was observed in colonies collected in a stranded ship from Catalina Bay, and c) elongated colonies, shaped cylindrical (between 80 to 240 cm) were uncommon (14%) (Figure 1c-f) (Table 1; Figure 2).
Cylindrical colonies were collected during September, 2016 in Chilota dock, Porvenir Bay, showing a total length of 240 cm and a weight of 440 g (Table 1). These colonies were observed floating in the water column in paralell position respect to the sea bed (Figure 1f). The holdfast of colonies are smallest in relation to the rest of the colony; in the largest colony, the holdfast and peduncle have a length of 8 cm (Figure 1d), while the rest of colony showing 232 cm of length. Other colonies of similar shape measuring between 100 to 180 cm of length (Figure 2).
The vertically disposed colonies ranged from 15 to 100 cm in length, with a drop shape. In the specimens collected in Catalina Bay (Figure 1g-i), the peduncle have similar length that the colony and small, gregarious buds were observed along of distal end.
The globular colonies were collected during September, 2013, showing gregariousness behaviour and settled on living Mytilus spp. shells suspended in the water column (Figure 1 a).
There is a significant, positive, linear relationship between total length and weight in the colonies of P opuntia. Colonies of 300 cm of length could attain a total weight of 500 g (Figure 2). We collect some colonies smallest than 1 cm of diameter with globular shape. After 15 cm, the colonies attain a shaped drops (Figure 1). The width of cylindrical colonies varied from 0.5 to 5 cm of diameter.
The main results of this study demonstrate a wide polymorphism in the P opuntia colonies, the shape of colonies changing with size and the shape could be affected by type (artificial or natural) and orientation of the substrate. Additionally, there is a positive, significant, linear relationship between size and weight of colonies, aspect not previously described in colonial ascidians (Table 1; Figure 1 & 2).
The discovery of giant colonial ascidians remain as unusual or striking fact (Ramos-Esplá & Ocaña, 2017). Previous reports showing colonies of Eudistoma elongatum (Herdman, 1886), Distaplia cylindrica (Lesson, 1830) and Aplidium proliferum (Milne Edwards, 1841) attaining to 2.5 m lenght (Page & Kelly, 2013; Ramos-Esplá & Ocaña, 2017). Antarctic colonies of Distaplia cylindrica sized up 7 m (Kott, 1969). To our best knowledge, this finding in P opuntia is one of the largest colonial ascidians reported in subantarctic waters.
In this study we found three morphological patterns in shallow waters (Figure 1). The globular colonies living mainly on man-made and biological substrata such bivalves shells; the second and third type of colonies are fixed on most stable artificial substrata such as docks and hull of stranded ships. Thus, it is postulated that the colonial shape change with size (or age), stability and orientation of the substrate. To hypothesis level, is postulated that the shape of colonies could change seasonally.
In the present study, cylindrical colonies were collected in late winter and early spring in some Magellan locations. During this period low temperature prevails (Table 1). It is postulated that along winter the abundance of other colonial and solitary ascidians or predators could be reduced, helping to the growth in P. opuntia. High density of seawater under low temperature regime could favor the floatation of giant colonies in the water column (Barnes & Clarke, 2011); Porvenir Bay is a shallow embayment (< 12 m depth) and during winter sea surface temperature can attain to 1 to 2 °C (Cañete et al. 2014). Other reason could be that during winter and spring (July to November), the king crab boats remain in the fishing ground. No presence of boats in this period could reduce the opportunities of damage to the floating colonies of P. opuntia, allowing to attain largest size (Figure 1e-f).
The weight-length relationship offer an opportunity to compare the differences in the fitting functions between solitary and colonial ascidians. For example, in Ciona intestinalis the fitting is an exponential function (W=Axe-Br; Du Clos et al. 2017), while in P opuntia show a linear fitting (Figure 2). No references to this length-weight relationship in colonial ascidians has been previously cited.
The fact of P. opuntia was found on mussel shells (Figure 1 a) suggest a potential negative impact on bivalve aquaculture in southern Chile. However, low temperatures and salinities in shallow waters could limit the development of this colonial species (Turon et al. 2016a; Nagar & Shenkar, 2016; De Castro et al. 2018) in estuarine zones available to aquaculture in Magellan waters.
The artificial substrates observed in this study shows that colonies of P opuntia coexist with other colonial fouling species such Bugula- like bryozoans, colonial ascidians as Aplidium and hydrozoans, shaping a community based in a guild of clonal taxa. Large biomass of this guild could to produce a fast organic enrichment of the bottoms with tunicates of dead colonies. In the present study, the accumulated weight of colonies produced near to 4.5 kg m-2 (N=104).
The colonial size/shape in ascidians seem be regulated by exogenous (hydrodynamic, interespecific competition, primary production, and anthropogenic environmental disturbances), showing typical aspects associated to the clonal life cycle (Ramos-Esplá & Ocaña, 2017). The large abundance, wide geographic distribution and the presence of giant colonies in P opuntia suggest their potential use as biomodel to study the consequences of clonal life on the populational traits in a cold, estuarine system, where variable and extreme oceanographic conditions prevails (Jackson, 1977; Nakauchi, 1982; Caswell, 1985; Brown & Swalla, 2012; Stolfi & Brown, 2015).
P. opuntia is the only member of Stolidobranch colonial ascidian in Magellan waters.
The rest belong mainly to Aplausobranch colonial ascidians (12 species: Dístaplla colligans, D. cylindrica, Didemnum studeri, Trididemnum auriculatum, Polysincraton trivolutum, Aplidium fuegiense, A. magellanicum, A. variabile, A. falklandicum, Synoicum georgianum, Eudistoma magalhaensis and Sycozoa gaimardi) (Sanamyan & Schories, 2003; Schories et al. 2015, Turon et al. 2016a & b). This situation offer an interesting opportunity to compare the pattern of growth in colonial ascidians of cold and estuarine waters under a taxonomic perspective.
Additionally, the presence of P opuntia in Subantarctic (Sanamyan & Schories 2003, Sanamyan & Schories, 2007; Lagger et al. 2009; Schories et al. 2015, Turon et al. 2016a & b) and Antarctic waters (Kott, 1969; Monniot & Monniot, 1983; Ramos-Esplá et al. 2005; Primo & Vázquez, 2007) offer opportunities to study the comparative growth of colonies under two cold regimes.

Coming to Netflix today, Friday, September 21:
Rashida Jones and Alan Hicks
Toronto 2018
An intimate portrait of legendar music producer Quincy Jones.
Quincy Jones inarguably is one of the most influential forces behind popular music over the last six decades, influencing countless careers as a producer, composer, performer, and so much more, spanning the diverse worlds of jazz and pop to hip hop and film scores. This loving tribute – made by his daughter, actress Rashida Jones, and Alan Hicks, whose previous film, KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON, also focused on a notable musician – impressively covers the breadth of Jones' accomplishments, while also showcasing the very much still-active octogenarian's near-indefatigable energy in the present day, though it doesn't shy away from showing his vulnerability to health concerns. If that weren't enough, the ingratiating film also offers a poignant exploration of the long-lasting impact of his mother's mental health issues on his upbringing, and touching demonstrations of his mentorship and deep impact on performers through the decades and into the present day.

A few sights from day one of Doors Open 2011 ! (Here's Day 2)
Yes, an impromptu brass band marching down Burnell Street ?! Brass band today, U2 tomorrow. Lots of open air music in the West End this weekend !
Sticking with the West End, the former Midland Knitwear / National Upholstery building at 618 Arlington was on show. It's being converted into artists studios ! The first floor is already done.
What a great space ! (I have a building history ready to roll - I will post it next week)
The Granite Curling Club was on display including their plans for the redevelopment of their second floor dining / club area.
I also noticed this - the huge sign from the old Grain Exchange Curling Club on Fort Street has been moved over to The Granite. The Grain X, of course, is to be demolished for the Upper Fort Garry project.
Just south of The Granite there is a little park (Mostyn Park) where you can find shards from Winnipeg's former Dominion Post Office that sat at Main near Garry until about 1960 (238 Portage replaced it).
Ralph Connor House was just open for Saturday but The Gates is a great place to wander around regardless of the occasion.
And because you should always include a cute animal pic, here's a trio of dogs from Banning Street !

Day 17 the only thing that I did was waffle on the name "Bill" for an extremely minor character, a debate that has spilled over into day 18. He may also end up being called "Sykes," and I would like to ask you, my readers, for other suggestions. This is a throwaway character. His name is going to come up in this one conversation (I may even decide to call him by his title and skip his name) and never again. If you're a Dickens fan, you've probably already guessed the man's profession: "Bill" or "Sykes" or whatever he may be called is a pimp and a trader and a generally unpleasant fellow. Because his is such a throwaway, I want to give him a name that hints at his profession. Most of what I read, you'll notice, is for a readership thankfully mostly ignorant of the existence of such people. Let me ask then those of who read more adult books, who are some famous literary pimps? There's Pandarus, yes, but I don't think that I want to use that name for my character. That's a little too obvious. Can you name any more for me? A little more digging has uncovered the possible names of "Harris" or "Derrick" ("Samuel" is too nice a name to waste on such a character.) Voting open. Thanks!
Usually the comments that I've left myself in previous edits I can now ignore, but today I stumbled across one questioning what material would be used to make the doors in my hollowed out mountain fortress. Are they wooden or stone? I'm really not sure, but I do need to know, or I suppose I need to know because I want to know if a knock on a door could be heard, though as my note said, I think that a metal knocker might make enough noise on even a stone door to make itself heard from the other side. The question here is also whether the fortress' makers would have been trying to create a comfortable atmosphere or if they'd have been more concerned with security. All this makes me suspect that the doors are made of stone, in which case I may need to search for any reference to them as wooden, as being knocked upon, and maybe add some comments on the fact that the doors are made of stone, which would be a novelty for my protagonist, who lives in wooden cottage. But what do you think?
A more major character is also changing his name. I've been getting fed up with his name for a few days now, and now that I'm about to get to his scenes, it is time to start looking for a new name for him. I think he's settled on one because it is both a good and telling name and it will be an inside joke with myself and perhaps a few readers.
I got through a lot today. I'm ending the day at 359 or 406. I'm realizing that there is a day of training montage that may be unnecessary or that it might be possible to combine with the previous day's montage. I'm only stopping now because I need to give some serious thought to plot points, and I don't want to get into that can of worms today. 47 more pages to edit in 12 days! That's only 4 pages a day. That's doable…. I have 139,325 words.

"On June 22, 1941, Adolf Hitler launched his armies eastward in a massive invasion of the Soviet Union: three great army groups with over three million German soldiers, 150 divisions, and three thousand tanks smashed across the frontier into Soviet territory. The invasion covered a front from the North Cape to the Black Sea, a distance of two thousand miles. By this point German combat effectiveness had reached its apogee; in training, doctrine, and fighting ability, the forces invading Russia represented the finest army to fight in the twentieth century. Barbarossa was the crucial turning point in World War II, for its failure forced Nazi Germany to fight a two-front war against a coalition possessing immensely superior resources." -History.com
"Leningrad's horrific siege was one of the most lethal in world history. It lasted for 900 days, from September 1941 to January 1944. The city's civilian population of almost three million refused to surrender, even though they were completely surrounded. By the first winter of the siege there was no heating, no water supply, almost no electricity and very little food. Despite non-stop air and artillery bombardment, the city's greatest enemies were hunger and bitter cold. Exhausted people collapsed and died. The streets were littered with dead bodies. The only life-line to the mainland was the ice of Lake Ladoga – known as the "Road of Life"." -Russiapedia
"The Battle for Moscow - the Germans code-named it 'Operation Typhoon' - started on October 2nd 1941.

"The Battle of Stalingrad (July 17, 1942-Feb. 2, 1943), was the successful Soviet defense of the city of Stalingrad (now Volgograd) in the U.S.S.R. during World War II. Russians consider it to be the greatest battle of their Great Patriotic War, and most historians consider it to be the greatest battle of the entire conflict. It stopped the German advance into the Soviet Union and marked the turning of the tide of war in favor of the Allies. The Battle of Stalingrad was one of the bloodiest battles in history, with combined military and civilian casualties of nearly 2 million." -History.com

During the Conference, the three leaders coordinated their military strategy against Germany and Japan and made a number of important decisions concerning the post World War II era." -U.S. Department of State Office of the Historian
"Since early 1942, Soviet leader Josef Stalin had been urging a major new front in Western Europe to take some of the pressure off his troops, complaining that his soldiers were carrying too much of the burden. Thus far in the war, eighty percent of German military casualties had occurred at the hands of Russian soldiers. All the while, Stalin had grown increasingly impatient with his Allies. By dawn of D-Day, the greatest seaborne invasion force ever assembled was slowly approaching the Normandy Coast, taking the German soldiers there by surprise. Four thousand vessels carried the troops while over 2,000 American and British warships furiously bombarded the landing zones, five beaches stretching along a sixty-mile front. The British 2nd Army landed toward the east at beaches code-named Gold, Juno and Sword. The American 1st Army landed toward the west at beaches named Utah and Omaha." -The History Place

Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin made important decisions regarding the future progress of the war and the postwar world." -U.S. Department of State Office of the Historian
"Held near Berlin, the Potsdam Conference (July 17-August 2, 1945) was the last of the World War II meetings held by the "Big Three" heads of state. Featuring American President Harry S. Truman, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill (and his successor, Clement Attlee) and Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin, the talks established a Council of Foreign Ministers and a central Allied Control Council for administration of Germany.

"It found that Stalin is the uncontested No.1 on the Russians' list of great historical figures, ahead of Lenin, Marx and Peter the Great. In 1989, only 12 percent of Russians felt that way." -New York Times
"On Christmas Day 1991, the Soviet flag flew over the Kremlin in Moscow for the last time. A few days earlier, representatives from 11 Soviet republics (Ukraine, the Russian Federation, Belarus, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan) met in the Kazakh city of Alma-Ata and announced that they would no longer be part of the Soviet Union. Instead, they declared they would establish a Commonwealth of Independent States. Because the three Baltic republics (Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia) had already declared their independence from the USSR, only one of its 15 republics, Georgia, remained. The once-mighty Soviet Union had fallen, largely due to the great number of radical reforms that Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev had implemented during his six years as the leader of the USSR. However, Gorbachev was disappointed in the dissolution of his nation and resigned from his job on December 25. It was a peaceful end to a long, terrifying and sometimes bloody epoch in world history." -History.com

"In 2007 the Putin government directed an initiative to restructure the national curriculum, teaching schoolchildren that Stalin's actions were 'entirely rational'." - History Today
"Most remarkably, when a television station held a national vote for the "Greatest Russian Ever" in 2008, Stalin came third, even after the station had made pleas for the nation to vote for other candidates." -History Today
" A central Moscow subway station reopened this week after a painstaking, yearlong restoration of its initial Stalin-era luster, complete with gilt-trimmed words of praise to the Soviet dictator spelled out around the vestibule's rotunda that add new fuel to debate about his role in Russian history." -The New York Times
"In 2010 the Russian State Duma voted in favour of blaming him for the Katyn Massacre of 1940, in which 20,000 Polish officers died." -History Today
"But in a secret operation early today Georgia's pro-western government ripped the monument down. The six-metre high bronze statue of Stalin kitted out in a full-length general's overcoat is to be moved into the museum courtyard." -Theguardian
"Recent opinion polls show that only 46 per cent of people under 30 would definitely not vote for Stalin were he running in an election now." -HistoryToday
"Soviet leader Joseph Stalin was no worse than 17th century English dictator Oliver Cromwell, (an English military and political leader.) Russian President Vladimir Putin has claimed at a press conference."
"...Joseph Stalin, the notorious dictatorial leader of the Soviet Union, still holds a curiosity for many. The Georgia native helped create much that is modern Sochi, the host of the 2014 Winter Games, when he built his summer retreat in this town in 1937." -CNN

By Jove, Madame Tussaud knows how to charge! I visited the establishment this afternoon for the first time in a few decades. It cost me the princely sum of £28.80. I was in good company, though: Churchill, the Royal Family and their antecedents, celebrities, sports personalities and many more.
Earlier I spent an hour in the Banqueting Hall at Whitehall, its pre-eminent feature being its magnificent, painted ceiling by Rubens. When I left, I walked over to the Cenotaph and took a photograph of the poppy wreaths.
Well I never! I accosted Lucy Worsley, looking very well in a scarlet overcoat, at Nelson's column. She was doing an outside broadcast.
This is the 300 yard queue for the Leonardo Da Vinci exhibition at the National Gallery.
I had a snifter in a trendy bar at Berkeley Square called Babbles (large Tanqueray and tonic, £10.80); then walked on to another, more traditional bar called the Guinea near by.

VIDEO: A quick look at the 2019 Audi A1 Sportback
Johannesburg - The All-new Audi A1 premium hatchback has launched in South Africa and it's packing sharp new styling (and tech) that's usually associated with the brand's larger vehicles.
Built on the Group's MQB platform, and tweaked for more refinement and comfort, the new A1 Sportback is pitched at style-conscious commuters who appreciate design as well as heritage.
With a cockpit aimed at the driver, a range of three engines that includes 1.0l, 1.5l and 2.0l units, S-tronic autoboxes as standard, and enough base features to keep you satisfied even if you're considering 'buying down' - the new A1 proves that compact hatches are, arguably, way cooler than compact SUVs...
The A1 Sportback is priced between R359 900 and R488 000.
We'll bring you all the juicy insights on the new Audi A1 in next week's Drive360 supplement, but for now here's a quick look at the funky Sportback:

Coronavirus update
Following recent government advice, Grounds Training has taken the difficult but necessary decision to close its office and to postpone all training courses and on-line qualifications.
All enquiries will be redirected to a home working sales team. We will continue to take enquiries but will not be arranging dates for courses during this period.
We hope you understand our decision at this current time, and we'd like to thank you in advance for your patience and support throughout this period.
Grounds Training
was established in 2006 in response to demand from the Turf Industry for co-ordinated, professional training. Since then we have gained recognition as the go-to provider and cater for both individuals and groups alike through open courses (for individuals to join) or bespoke courses for groups of four or more, onsite at clients' premises. We particularly appreciate the excellent relationship we have built up with our regular clients and we are passionate about encouraging groundsmen, greenkeepers and those employed in general ground care to work safely and efficiently. We are a division of Agrovista UK based in Telford, Shropshire, which also incorporates Pitchcare.
Our Head Office team comprises Carol Smith, Training Manager/Co-ordinator.
We maintain a database of Lantra Awards and City & Guilds (NPTC) registered instructors whom we can call on to deliver courses to our members.
In addition we would like to hear from any instructors with turfcare industry experience who would be interested in delivering the Pitchcare General Sports Turf Maintenance courses in winter and/or summer sports, particularly if you also have a recognised teaching or instructional techniques qualification and a good knowledge of health and safety.
E-mail your details and a brief outline of your instructing and industry experience to email@example.com.
