Seven years agoblack residents no longer comprised the majority population of our nation’s capital. Within the last month, civil rights lawyer Aristotle Theresa filed the lawsuit against the district on behalf native D.C. residents for the discrimination of age, source of income, race, family, religion, and matriculation in their agenda to “attract the Creative Class.”
According to the lawsuit, over the last 12 years “planning agencies have used land-use policy as a primary tool to implement this agenda.” Rather than implementing city-wide initiatives that cater to the needs of current residents, “these land-use policies leverage amenities to attract the targeted [anti-black] demographic group.”
More specifically, “new attractions such as the Wharf, a $2.5 billion mix of luxury housing, hotels and fine dining along the Southwest Waterfront” are being added in locations that are better suited for family units and affordable housing, wrote The Washington Post. In the pursuit to attract the creative class, the D.C. zoning commission, housing authority office of planning andre being sought after for damages and displacement that are expected to exceed $1 billion.

We often do nor know what is failure and what is success ultimately. There are examples of people who became wealthy but renounced all their wealth achieved after a lifetime’s effort.

Error provides the feedback for building the ladder to success. Error pushes onmore errors and trials, hopefully, finding ultimately a works only a temporary, and often necessary part of the process that leads to success or well-earned achievement. No errors or failures, often, means no success either. This is more true in business and while handling an ongoing project.
Ac fact, early success in a long-term project is regarded as a premature outcome of good efforts that is likely to cause complaisance and slackening of effort to achieve the ultimate objective of the project. Early success might tempt one to get fixed on to what seemed to have worked so quickly and easily and stop from looking up any further. Later, maybe, a competitor will learn from the slackened ‘achiever’ to further explore for larger possibilities and push on to find a much better solution that will push the earlier achiever out of the competition.

TweetGerman filmmaker Werner Herzog is taking a rare turn in front of the camera as a cold-blooded murderer in the new thriller "Jack Reacher", portraying a character he calls "the epicenter of evil."
"People know that I'm good at it. They've seen me in other films. I'm just an obvious choice," he told AFP. "."
In "Jack Reacher", Herzog's character is nothing short of "the epicenter of evil," the director/actor said. ""
"In"Le Samourai", "
In order to coax the longtime filmmaker to appear in front of the camera, Herzog said it took "first, good story-telling, a real good story, with good dialogue."
Herzog especially lauded the "texture between Tom Cruise and Rosamund. Although they never kiss, never really touch each other. There's a shyness of how to deal with each other." |

en | N/A | N/A | Sydney: Promising Australian fast bowlers Mitchell Starc and James Pattinson, both 21, look all set to be in the team that will play India in the Boxing Day Test match.
Left-handed Starc who took 2-90 and 0-33 at the Gabba against New Zealand showed great variety and seems to be a long-term replacement for Mitchell Johnson, though he was completely overshadowed by Pattinson who captured a five-wicket haul in the second innings with fast, late away swing on debut.
"Obviously Mitch (Johnson) is out for a little bit of time and Dougy's still coming back from injury so, as a left-armer, there's that bit of variety," Starc was quoted saying by the Australian.
"It does open a door for me, I guess, and hopefully I can take that opportunity."
"Obviously guys will be coming back from injury at some point, so I think I'm just going to prepare to play every game. If I don't get picked, I don't get picked, but if I get picked I'm ready to play," he added.
India,too, will be heading to Australia with new faces on board with the likes of fast bowlers Umesh Yadav, Varun Aaron and Abhimanyu Mithun all yet to be tested in foreign conditions. |

I feel in need of a break. I hope Word Alive will be that, though I suspect it will be very tempting to go to lots of meetings and get no sleep. Not a brilliant idea, really. I shall have to make sure I get enough sleep. Still,Rob and learning from God together.
I'm trying to think of some aspect of my life that isn't connected with Rob, but apparently I can't. I didn't want to suddenly has no time for anything else, but it seems I may have done. I'm sorry, my lovely friends!

and everything compiles just fine.
MyClass.test("string","string");
I know BizTalk does not support generics, but I did not think having generics in the another method, one I'm not calling from BizTalk, would be a problem; and in fact - change the call in the expression shape to the overload that takes the int first -
By changing the first parameter passed in to be an int, the compiler does not need to look into the overload that uses IDictionary as all and so it compiles ok.
I get an "unknown system exception" when calling using int as the first parameter.

“W,” he said. “We’re very confident that people around the world want on-demand internet television”.
“As we build the library, as we do more licensing and renew existing deals, we’re getting to the state over the next five or ten years where everything will be consistent around Netflix and everything will be available globally.”
He compared the global launch to having a baby, but said “the real work is the next twenty years”. The challenge will be to become as popular internationally as in the Untied States. “We’ve go twenty years of work to really build Netflix into what we want.”
Netflix still faces challenges of national regulation, different payment methods, and varying cultural sensitivities.
Providing a high quality experience globally will be a challenge. Notably the Netflix Open Connect delivery infrastructure does not currently extend beyond the countries in which its service has previously launched.
The focus is on on-demand, primarily around scripted drama with a long shelf life, rather than live shows or sports.
While some potential members may welcome the arrival of Netflix as a global distribution network, the company may underestimate the importance of locally produced programming.
Then again, Netflix only needs a handful of hits to sustain and grow its subscription business. </s> Artist based in Brooklyn, NY
Sydney M. King, Portrait of the Photographer
I’m originally from San Francisco and currently live in Brooklyn. Growing up, I’d always been interested in visual art, especially in oil painting and drawing with charcoal. I grew up knowing that art was something I enjoyed, but I ultimately expected to pursue a career in a scientific field.
My father photographed the family extensively when my brother and I were young. I feel really lucky because our childhoods are so well-documented. His interest in photography encouraged me to explore the medium. He used a black Pentax MX, which I would borrow to complete my high school photography assignments.
I also remember taking my mom’s point-and-shoot camera around the house and photographing all the things that I loved when I was a child. I ended up making a collection of out-of-focus pictures of Altoids, plastic easter eggs, and flowers. It was by no means a monumental project, but I remember the satisfaction of being able to capture and otherwise maintain a record of the things I enjoyed at a certain point in time. In a way, I was able to keep these things with me and return to them whenever I wanted.
I’m creating plaster molds of my body, photographing them in conjunction with their reflections and amidst photographs from my grandmother’s archive.
My interest in plaster molds came early on, when I was studying photography at Princeton. The photography classroom was located in the basement next to the ceramics studio. Students often left behind their two-part molds used to make ceramic vases or small objects. There were stacks of them everywhere. I was interested in the way that the molds appeared to be simultaneously concave and convex when photographed. I was drawn to this indeterminate space, of objects constantly switching between two states.
Painted and dyed body molds in the studio
A lotThere are so many unexpected results that can happen when an idea is manifested into a material physical object. I’m most excited by what I cannot anticipate. I spend a lot of time following my visual instincts and then trying to process and understand why certain things are compelling to me.
Auntie Miki and Vivian, 2020, Single exposure on 4x5 black and white film
A bit of both. What I love about photography is that I start to see the world in relation to the medium. Certain things – arrangements of objects, tonal values, shadows – catch my eye on a day-to-day basis and I like to keep a record of them on my phone. The more absorbed I get in the studio the more I see or notice in the world.

So in my heart I honestly don't know whether or not I am going to read this (More than likely I will just to give myself a piece of mind.) without prejudice since I have already polluted myself with other peoples views and opinions. Hopefully I will read it and come away with a more favorable opinion of the last book in the Sookie Stackhouse Series, but my hopes are not high since the character that I most love doesn't really get what he desires in the end.
I hope that I see it very different from everyone that says Harris did a poor job of ending the series. I believe no writer tries to do a bad job on a book that they work so hard on and that takes up so much of their lives. I hope after I ready it I have something different to tell you. So.

Not true. Fourteen states provide public financing for the campaigns of some or all of their state offices, including lawmakers and judges.
In fact, publicly financed elections would be a bargain for taxpayers who could have more confidence that government decisions were being made for the right reasons.
If bringing back publicly financed elections is a bridge too far, the legislature could at least prohibit political crunning for constitutional offices and the General Assembly. No one could call that welfare for politicians. </s> )

Kunj has closed his eyes and asks Twinkle where he has to sign? Twinkle puts his hand on paper, Kunj signs Yuvi’s release papers with eyes closed, he asks if she is happy now? she nods, Twinkle says i will take these papers to client, kunj says okay i will come with you, twinkle gets tensed, she says you complete your college project, i will go with Maa, Kunj says go safely, Twinkle starts to lave but slips and papers fall from her hands, Kunj comes to her and asks if she is fine? she nods and starts collecting papers, Kunj starts collecting too, Twinkle takes papers from his hand before he can see it, he looks at her tensed, he caresses her face, Twinkle thinks that he trusts me blindly but when he will know truth then dont know what will happen to him. |

en | N/A | N/A | Day two of our new life together continued much as day one had begun: Grace was keen to play, eat, learn, pee, poop and sleep! She had all the essentials pretty much covered. The abrupt change of diet had no effect on her insides whatsoever, it would appear that changing to real food is not a dicey as switching brands of commercial stuff. Interesting.
I began to teach her the words and meanings of ‘sit’, ‘down’, ‘watch’ and ‘here’. She payed attention to everything I showed her and tried hard to understand. I name the action of whatever I’m trying to teach her straight away. I see real time evidence that dogs (well mine anyway) are perfectly capable of understanding. Grace was a case in point. Within three repetitions of her bum hitting the floor as she followed the piece of cheese in my hand as I raised it in front of her nose, and saying ‘sit’, she showed she understood the word and meaning by immediately plonking her bottom on the floor when I simply asked her to ‘sit’, without luring her into position. Smart puppy.
Short training sessions throughout the day, along with plenty of play and sleep (and food), soon saw Grace’s vocabulary and skills increase dramatically. She was learning all the time as I was talking to her and explaining things, including the workings of the washing machine that scared the living daylights out of her. By going to the scary object, naming it and putting my hand on it while looking at, and talking to Grace, she understood that it wasn’t so scary after all. She trusted me enough to come over and touch the washing machine with her nose and then when I showed her the clothes going round through the class door, she suddenly found that very exciting, jumped up and put both front feet on the glass door and tried to catch them as they whizzed round. Cute pupster!
I was hoping very much that her ears wouldn’t flop down once she started to grow, but would stick up and give her a more intelligent look. It may sound mean, it’s not meant to, but I do think her ears look rather ‘dorky’ in these early pictures, and while it didn’t really matter what direction her ears eventually decided to go, I couldn’t help but hope they would aim for the stars.
In the short space of time Grace had lived with me, I hadn’t felt any sense of panic whatsoever. She was ‘Grace’, and we had indeed found each other. |

en | N/A | N/A | The first question came from Dawn over at She is Too Fond of Books. Dawn asked: I’d love to hear a little about your daughter’s adoption. Did you go to ChinaHave you read Marian Henley’s THE SHINIEST JEWEL about her international adoption experience?
In July of 2007, I got on a plane along with my husband Joe and daughter Leah (who is our biological child) and headed to China to adopt a little girl. Her name was Yi Mei and she lived in the southwestern province of Guangxi. She was 9 months old. She had spent the first four months of her life in an orphanage and then lived with a foster family for her remaining time in China.
Unlike Korea, the Chinese government requires you to travel to China to finalize the adoption of a Chinese baby. Six weeks prior, we had received a referral for a little girl through our adoption agency. Along with medical records and two photographs, we were given two days to decide whether or not we would except the referral. Once we did, it took another couple weeks to receive travel approval and to find out when our appointment at the US consulate (where the adoption is finalized) in Guangzhou would be.
Here is one of the referral photos we received. How could you say no to that face!!
Funny story – we received a photo of Yi Mei in early June of 2007. Knowing that we would have to travel to China sometime late July/early August, I felt pretty confident that I would be home to receive on July 21st. I even special ordered it to be delivered to my home that day. I figured it would give me plenty of reading material while on the long flight to China. Guess when we left for China? July 20th. I kid you not.
Maya Yi Mei is now a happy, beautiful 2 1/2 year old and we feel so blessed to have her.
Yes Dawn, I did read The Shiniest Jewel and really enjoyed it. You can see my review from last year here.
Softdrink over at Fizzy Thoughts asked this one: Traveling? I didn’t know you liked to travel. So….where all have you traveled? If you could go one place you have never been, where would it be? And if you could return to one place you have visited, which would you choose?
Hmmm, great question! Yes, I absolutely love to travel! If I had endless amounts of cash I’d be on one plane after another seeing the world! Where are some great places I’ve been? Well, I’ve visited my sister three times in Hawaii (in fact, the first time I ever flew with my daughter Leah was when she was six months old on a ten hour flight from NJ to Honolulu). I’ve been to Florida numerous times, San Francisco, San Diego and Palm Desert years ago. Traveled twice to Denver and once to Vail for work. Even stayed at The Peabody in Memphis (you know, where the ducks swim in the lobby fountain)! Went to Cancun for spring break when I was eighteen and got to visit Chichen Itza which was cool. Even spent some time out by the pool in Jamaica a few years ago. Obviously mainland China, but also took a few trips to Hong Kong to visit family. Hong Kong is where my husband grew up.
One glaring omission to my list of travels is Europe. I’ve always wanted to go, but have yet had the chance. So to answer you question of where I would like to go where I’ve never been, then I’d probably have to say Paris. You know, just because it’s PARIS!! Where would I go back? Actually I’ve vacationed on Martha’s Vineyard twice (last time about six years ago) and would LOVE to visit again. It’s such a beautiful and unique island.
Booking Mama Julie asked a hard one: How has being a mother changed your life the most?
Julie, I have to say that you have me pretty stumped. I came up with a response, typed it all up neatly and then promptly DELETED it because it just didn’t feel right. To be honest, I don’t really know how motherhood has changed my life in the most significant way. Made me more tired, sure. More satisfied, yes. Given me more heartburn, definitely. I don’t really remember what it was like NOT having kids. All I know is that I sure am glad to have them.
Jenn of Jenn’s Bookshelf also came up with a hard question: How has having cancer changed your outlook on life?
We all like to hear the standard answer to a question like that. You know, that it has made you appreciate the little things in life. Or maybe that you are able to havend these are true. Having cancer makes you look at things differently. But it also pisses you off. Two weeks before my routine mammogram, my mother died of cancer at Sloan Kettering in New York City. Which means I was pretty mad that she lost her battle with cancer, after having survived breast cancer for thirteen years and was even madder to find out that I had cancer too.
So now I find myself determined to kick this disease to the curb. How do I plan on doing this? Well, for starters, by joining the Army of Women as soon as I’m completely finished with my treatments. By reminding women to GET A MAMMOGRAM.
Kathy at Bermuda Onion and Trish from Hey Lady! asked kind of the same question: How do you manage to do so much – be a mom, read, blog, attend to your medical needs? How do you balance everything: reading, blogging, twittering and other online stuff withfamily, parenting, being with your husband, etc?
OK, here’s my confession. I balance everything with lots of HELP!! Let me explain. I’ve been a stay at home mom since Leah was born seven years ago. Up until last year, I took care of most things in the home. Cooked, cleaned, laundry, child-care, etc. Whenwas getting ready for my first surgery, I knew I would not be able to physically keep up with all of the household duties AND take care of a two year old at home all day while my oldest was in elementary school. So that’s when we started getting HELP. We hired a cleaning lady to come in once every two weeks to clean the house. Then we hired a nanny five mornings a week to play with Maya while I got better. We even had people making us meals when I wasn’t feeling up to it. Between the three surgeries and all the chemotherapy, I’ve been lucky to have help along the way.
What does this mean? Well, when I was feeling lousy after a chemo treatment or surgery, it meant I could lay in bed to recuperate. When I feel better, it means that I have my mornings free to grab a coffee at a local shop, grocery shop by myself, have lunch with a friend or read a book. Add to the fact that Maya naps for about an hour and a half AFTER the nanny leaves means that I’ve got some free time on my hands. That plus I write most of my reviews after the kiddos go nighty-night. So you see, I can only juggle all this stuff since I am incredibly lucky to have lots of people around me helping out all the time.
Oh, a book related question! Amy from My Friend Amy asked: What one book have your read this year that you would recommend to everyone?
I just got done reading The Help by Kathryn Stockett. I haven’t written my review yet, but have to say this was one powerful, touching read that I think appeals on so many levels. I would highly recommend it.
I’ll be back in a few days to answer some more of your questions. Thanks for playing along!
Thanks for your honest answers. Just to let you know, I had my annual mammogram in January.
I didn’t mean to stump you! I would have a difficult time with that one too! It’s without a doubt the most life-changing event but it’s so hard to articulate what it means. Or at least it is for me because I’m not good with expressing myself in writing.
Clearly your answers are all straight from the heart – I read them just like you were sitting talking to us over a cup of coffee!
That baby pic of Maya is too sweet! What an adventure you had! I’m sure all the helping hands you have now (friends and neighbors) were happy to help you prep for your baby girl in such a short time!
p.s. I had my mammogram last month!
Wow, I really enjoyed reading your answers. You are truly an amazing person! Your strength and honesty come through in every response.
This has been such a pleasure to read. I fully enjoyed getting to know you in a personal way. Your honesty is refreshing. I sot BEA.

en | N/A | N/A | Sev provides a high to full presence of mixed pixels. In this case, UAV images combined with filtering techniques represent the solution to analyze pure canopy pixels and were used to benchmark the effectiveness of Sentinel-2 (S2) performance in overhead training systems. At harvest time, UAV filtered and unfiltered images and ground sampling data were used to validate the correlation between the S2with vegetative and productive parameters in two vineyards (V1 and V2). Regarding the UAV vs. S2 NDVI comparison, in both vineyards, satellite data showed a high correlation both with UAV unfiltered and filtered images (V1 R2 = 0.80 and V2 R2 = 0.60 mean values). Ground data and remote sensing platform NDVIs correlation were strong for yield and biomass in both vineyards (R2 from 0.60 to 0.95spatial resolution provided by S2 on overhead trellis system viticulture, promoting precision viticulture also within areas that are currently managed without the support of innovative technologies.
Precision viticulture (PV) aims to increas by overcoming the traditional uniform approach with a site-specific management based on spatial variability within the vineyard [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]. The knowledge of spatial and temporal variability improves all aspects of vineyard management such as ground sampling, vines status monitoring, fertilizer distribution, phytosanitary treatments, weed control, and quality-selective harvesting [2,11,12,13]. In the last three decades, advances in proximal and remote sensing technologies have provided useful and cost-effective solutions to better characterize in-field variability [14,15,16,17,18,19].
In viticulture, in order to obtain fast information on spatial variability, s [20,21,22,23,24]. In assessing the effectiveness of these remote sensing platforms, image ground resolution, technology costs, and flight coverage range must be taken into account. The choice of one platform over another is always based on a compromise, which depends on the objectives of monitoring spatial variability and the economic and human resources available to end-users such as agricultural companies. It is undeniable that the factor that has exponentially encouraged the spread of UAV application in agriculture is the continuous advance in sensor technologies, providing higher resolution, lower weight and dimensions, and cost reduction [23,25,26,27,28]. Several authors describe a wide range of UAV applications for PV purposes: vigor and biomass [29,30,31,32,33,34], yield and quality monitoring [35,36], water stress [37,38,39,40,41], canopy management [42], diseases [43,44,45,46], weeds [47,48,49], and missing plants [50,51,52,53].
All these papers describe applications on vertical pruning systems (VPS), the most widespread class of training systems used in quality viticulture, which presents a discontinuous spatial layout with vegetated rows alternating with soil [54,55]. In these cases, spatial analysis of remote sensing images requires separation of the canopy from bare soil, shadows, and green cover, which can be achieved with advanced filtering techniques for canopy extraction [56,57,58,59,60]. Many authors suggest unsupervised filtering techniques in a vineyard based on a canopy height model (CHM) derived from a digital elevation model (DEM) [51,53], geometric structure by texture analysis [61,62], 3D point cloud [63], automatic threshold on color distribution in RGB [64], different color spaces such as HSV (hue, saturation, value), or L*a*b* (L* for the lightness from black to white, a* from green to red and b* from blue to yellow) [65]. The work suggested by Cinat et al. [65] presents an overview of those methodologies.
VPS has undoubted advantages such as the possibility of high planting densities (over 5000 vines/ha), easy mechanization, and better air circulation through vegetation [55], but at the same time it has the disadvantage of creating a high exposure degree of the fruiting zone, so in warm climates there is a high risk of sunburn damage, especially in a global warming scenario [66,67].
With this premise, training systems in several areas that are capable of keeping bunches in diffused light conditions during the hottest hours of the day represent an optimal solution to maintain high yield and quality. Among the most suitable training systems to achieve this goal is the overhead trellis system, which provides full soil covering and is widely used for both table and wine grapes in Italy (tendone and pergola), Portugal (latada), Spain (parral), Argentina (parral), and Chile (parron) [54].
Trellis systems are also able to limit the dangerous sunburn damage to berries [68], even if an excessive shading of bunches can increase the risk of fungal diseases and possibly lead to unbalanced fruit composition. Nevertheless, it should be emphasized that in a warming climate, minimizing the exposure of grapes to high daytime temperatures is more important than other aspects [69]. Overhead trellis systems with low density (about 1500–2000 vines/ha) are commonly chosen for high yield (because of efficient light interception) and used in environments with high temperatures and low relative air humidity [68]. Many key fruit attributes such as soluble solids, color, aroma compounds, and phenols can be optimized in warm sites by reducing berry temperature with moderate fruit exposure [55]. Moreover, it is necessary to develop suitable cultivation techniques to overcome or at least buffer, in the short- and medium-term, the negative effects deriving from climate change [66,67]. Currently, these vine training solutions are gaining interest due to the natural shading of bunches and radiative stress protection in the context of global warming [68]. In Italy, the overhead trellis systems tendone and pergola are used in many regions: Trentino, Veneto, Emilia-Romagna, Sardinia, Sicily, Puglia, and Abruzzo [69]. The tendone trellis system comprises a tall stake at each vine with two orthogonal steel wires attached 1.7–1.8 m above ground level, and a grid of steel wires supporting the shoots. Each vine has a 1.2–1.4 m tall trunk, with two branches and two fruit-bearing shoots per branch, aligned orthogonally or parallel to the grid [70]. Despite being a widespread training system, recent scientific studies concerning various aspects of grape tendone systems are not very numerous [71,72,73,74,75] and only one uses data from a remote sensing platform (i.e., satellite data for evapotranspiration valuation) [76]. In our study area, viticulture is still an emerging sector, producing a high quantity of wine (i.e., grape yield equal to 16.6 t/ha, the second highest in Italy [77]) with low added value, therefore, it would be desirable to introduce PV techniques to sustain farmers’ incomes and the environment.
In the overhead trellis systems such as tendone with full vegetation cover, a centimetric spatial resolution turns out to be less important than the possibility of obtaining a large area of monitoring with minimum cost and high acquisition frequency. Since 2015Sentinel-2 platforms, which has led to a minor revolution in the field of remote crop monitoring. Indeed, Sentinel-2 is free, has a high frequency of image acquisition, many spectral bands, and could be used for vegetation monitoring over time for the evaluation of crop response to agronomic inputs and for land use identification. The literature includes some papers describing Sentinel-2 validation with field measurements for woodlands [78], mangroves [79], forests [80], pastures [81], and cereal crop fields [82,83,84]. Few papers report spectral comparisons between Sentinel-2 and UAV platforms in semi-arid sandy areas [85], on continuous crops such as sugarcane, rice, and soybean [86], or wheat, barley, and rye [87], and on discontinuous VPS in a vineyard [61].
The primary aim of the work was to compare Sentinel-2 (S2) imagery with UAV filtered and unfiltered images on an overhead training system (tendone) with the objective of exploiting the use of satellite-free imagery of the vigor in a vineyard. Secondly, to better highlight the potential benefit for the decision making processes in viticulture of these remote sensing platforms, comparisons with quantitative and qualitative agronomic ground observation datasets were performed. In the 2015 season, a field test was conducted in two tendone vineyards located in Abruzzo (Italy), with the aim of performing Sentinel-2 data validation versus UAV high-resolution spectral images acquired in the same period, and key ground parameters such as biomass, yield, and grape composition sampled within different vigor zones at harvest time.
The research was undertaken in 2015 in two vineyards, Costa di Moro (V1) (42°12′57″N; 14°190′42″E) and Magliano (V2) (42°17′07″N; 14°18′34″E); both are part of the Orsogna Winery, located near Chieti, Central Italy. Both vineyards are planted with Vitis vinifera L. cv. Montepulciano and trained with a tendone trellis system (Figure 1a,b), which comprises a tall stake at each vine with an orthogonal grid of steel wires attached at 1.8 m supporting the shoots. Vineyard characteristics are reported in Table 1.
A flight campaign was made on 10 September 2015 with a modified multirotor UAV platform (HiSystems GmbH, Moomerland, Germany) (Figure 1c), described by Matese et al. [17], equipped with a Tetracam ADC Snap multispectral camera (Tetracam Inc., Chatsworth, CA, USA), which records images in the visible red and green and near infrared (NIR) spectrum with nominal wavelengths of 520–600, 630–690, and 760–900 nm, respectively. The flights were performed at 70 m a.g.l. with 70% both sides overlap (forward and lateral), yielding a ground resolution of 0.03 m/pixel. All images were taken between 11:30 and 13:00, without wind, and in clear sky conditions.
Georeferenced multispectral images were mosaicked using Agisoft Photoscan Professional Edition 1.1.6 [88], allowing the generation of a high-resolution (0.03 m/pixel) orthophoto and a digital elevation model (DEM) of the experimental sites. A vicarious calibration based on the absolute radiance method was chosen, given that the digital number (DN) value for each pixel has a direct relationship (linear model) with the radiance detected by the sensor [89]. A radiometric calibration process was performed with MATLAB [90] to convert the digital number (DN) value for each pixel in radiance, by means of three OptoPolymer (OptoPolymer—Werner Sanftenberg, Munich, Germany) homogeneous and Lambertian surface panels (95%, 50%, and 5% reflectance). The filtering elaboration step to extract pure vine pixels was performed by applying an unsupervised algorithm developed in MATLAB and described in a previous paper by the authors [65]. This algorithm identifies soil, shadow, and vines by Otsu’s global thresholding, using the HSV color spectrum. The HSV color spectrum assigns to each spectral frequency, identified by the value of hue (H), a chromatic saturation magnitude (S, where 0 is white and 1 is full color) and value (V, where 0 is black and 1 is full color). The HSV directly converts the image to the HSV color space, and the saturation channel (S) is used to identify and remove shadows. Next, the non-shadowed image is filtered by applying masks based on green and NIR values on the multispectral image to identify canopy pixels from soil. The vigor spatial variability within the two study sites was then assessed by proc1] for both unfiltered (UAV_uf) and filtered (UAV_f) orthomosaics with MATLAB. Ground sampling was based on a tercile classified vigor map (LV = low vigor, MV = mean vigor, HV = high vigor) elaborated from UAV multispectral images with MATLAB. Sentinel-2 band 4 (RED) and band 8 (NIR) were chosen to elaborate NDVI maps with QGis [92]. To compare the influence of spectral and spatial resolution directly on the vineyard characterization in terms of biomass and yield parameters, the UAVn as the Sentinel-2 data. A square grid-based resampling (10 x 10 m) was applied to UAV orthomosaic using the Vector Grid function in QGis.
providing two maps of NDVI with a support of 10 × 10 m2.
Ground sampling was performed at harvest time on 30 September 2015 for the Costa di Moro vineyard and 5 October 2015 for the Magliano vineyard based on a three-class vigor map provided by the UAV flight campaign. For both vineyards, the mean value ± standard error of each vegetative and productive parameter were derived from three single ground samples for each of the three vigor classes established in each vineyard. In both vineyards, harvesting was done when berry sugar accumulation appeared to level off on the basis of total soluble solids (TSS). Yield per vine was measured and the number of clusters per vine counted on three vines per vigor class. In each vineyard, three samples of 300 berries per vigor class were randomly collected, weighed to determine berry fresh weight, and crushed to obtain a juice sample for measuring TSS (as °Babo), pH, and titratable acidity (TA). A temperature-compensating RX 5000 refractometer (Atago-Co Ltd.) was used to measure TSS, while TA was measured using a Titrex Universal Potenziometric Titrator (Steroglass S.R.L.) by titrating with 0.1 N NaOH to a pH 8.2 end point, expressed as g/L of tartaric acid equivalent. The pH was measured with a digital PHM82 pH meter (Radiometer). Anthocyanin and phenolic contents (expressed as g/kg of grapes) were determined according to Amerine and Ough [93] and Slinkard and Singleton [94], respectively. Leaf area was checked on 12 September 2015, randomly collecting 10 fruiting shoots from 10 vines within each vigor class. Total leaf area per shoot was measured with an AAM-7 leaf area meter (Hayashi-Denko) and calculated by multiplying mean leaf area per shoot, by shoot number per vine. During winter pruning, which in both vineyards occurred at the beginning of February 2016, canes from ten representative vines for each vigor class were weighed after pruning to estimate annual vine growth.
NDVI features (count, mean, minimum, maximum, and standard deviation) from UAV and satellite images were extracted using the Zonal statistic plugin in QGis.
The statistical relationship between remote sensing data and grape quantitative and qualitative parameters is described by means of the determination coefficient (R2).
In this section, results of spatial variability in terms of vine vigor are presented. Vigor maps of the study sites (V1 and V2), obtained from UAV and Sentinel-2 images (30 August and 19 September 2015) are reported in Figure 2.
From a visual inspection of the NDVI maps, both UAV and Sentinel-2 show the same trend in terms of vigor for each vineyard as reported also by Nonni et al. [95]. Analyzing Figure 2a,c,e, the V1 vineyard is characterized by a low vigor zone in the north part as a consequence of sloping and stony soil that encourages loss of water by gravity and fast drainage. The rest of the vineyard presents higher vigor values, with a few exceptions of low vigor sub-zones (i.e., the south-eastern part) due to the presence of active limestone zones, which is another explanation of that variability in vegetative growth [96,97]. In V2, vigor distribution (Figure 2b,d,f) presents two different zones: high value (green) in the north part and low value (red) in the south. Both zones are surrounded by medium vigor values. This vigor distribution could be explained by competition for water and nutrients and by the nitrogen in primis due to the presence of olive and poplar plants close to that area.
The two sets of maps from Sentinel-2 (images of 30 August and 19 September 2015) show a similar vigor distribution pattern for each vineyard following a chronological comparison, even if in the second one there is a decrease in vigor, especially in V2 (Figure 2f). This is due to the different phenological stage: On 30 August 2015, berry ripening is almost complete, but all leaves are green and have full photosynthetic activity, while on 19 September 2015, in the pedoclimatic conditions of the study site, some leaves, especially the basal ones aged more than 4–5 months, have already started to lose chlorophyll and begin the senescence phenomena. Focusing on the difference between vineyard sites, it can be noted that V1 has a lower plant vigor due to the marked ground slope (6%–7%) and poor soil organic matter content.
Ground data relating to vegetative and productive parameters sampled in different vigor zones are given in Table 2.
As might be expected, the purely quantitative parameters (yield, bunch weight, pruning biomass, and leaf area) increase with vigor, showing for all parameters almost double the values in the high vigor areas with respect to the low ones (i.e., yield increases from 4.07 to 8.27 kg/vine in V1 and from 4.20 to 10.33 kg/vine in V2, due to highest bunch weight). The reduction of bunch weight in lower vigor areas of both vineyards was caused by lower berry weight (−24% in V1 and −31% in V2) and fewer berries per bunch (precisely −27% in V1 and −29% in V2). Analyzing grape composition, the sugars content did not show significant changes according to vigor, whereas titratable acidity showed higher values in high vigor areas (+0.66 g/L in V1 and +0.70 g/L in V2) linked with a weak vegetative growth and foliage mass and then a higher temperature at bunch level. During ripening, the organic acids in the must, especially malic acid, are used as a substrate for respiration according to temperature [98].
It can be observed that in the V2 vineyard, the agronomic parameter values are on average higher than those in V1, except that of titratable acidity. These differences can be attributed both to the soil’s physical and chemical properties and to a water deficit and radiative-thermal excesses that occurred in V1 due to its southern exposure and 6%–7% slope.
1. HV zone: Vines are characterized by high yield (13.1 and 16.5 t/ha of grapes in V1 and V2, respectively. Data estimated from plant yield, vine spacing, and vineyard area), good technological parameters (~19 °Babo for sugars, 5.6 g/L for titratable acidity, 1.68 and 2.78 g/kg of grapes for anthocyanins and total polyphenols, respectively, and balanced vegetative-reproductive indexes (1.3 m2 leaf area/kg grape and ~5 kg grape/kg pruning wood).
2. MV zone: Vines have lower yield in comparison to the Green zone (−20% in V1 and −26% in V2), similar technological parameters and anthocyanins and total polyphenols content (on average 1.70 and 2.75 g/kg of grape) as well as lower vigor (−23% and −25% of pruning wood and −43% and −41% of leaf area per vine) than in the green zone.
3. LV zone: Weak vines are characterized by a strongly limited leaf surface and shoot development and by more than halved grape yield compared to the more vigorous plants in the green area. The vine canopy has a low light interception capacity and covers only 55%–60% of the total space available for each plant (6.25 m2). The grapes have barely enough technological maturity (sugar and acidity) and total polyphenol content (on average 2.74 g/kg of grapes), while they were strongly deficient in anthocyanins with only 1.24 g/kg of grapes. This last result can be easily explained in that the decrease in anthocyanin accumulation under high temperatures (as seen in the grapes not covered by leaves, as occurs in low vigor areas) results from anthocyanin degradation as well as the inhibition of mRNA transcription on the anthocyanin biosynthetic genes [99].
This section shows the results of the NDVI comparison between UAV and Sentinel-2. In particular, Figure 3 represents the comparison between UAV_uf and UAV_f with S2 (images of 30 August and 19 September 2015), in V1 and V2, respectively.
As might be expected and was reported by Khaliq et al. [61], in both vineyards and images, S2 data show higher correlation with UAV_uf than UAV_f, except for V2 in August (same R2 value equal to 0.57) (Table 3). The improved efficiency of filtering UAV images is due to soil and shadow pixel removal, which impacts on NDVI, causing lower and higher values, respectively.
The correlations between S2 and UAV (filtered and unfiltered) are higher in the V2 vineyard for both S2 images (30 August and 19 September 2015). nt spatial distribution pattern of vigor between the two vineyards. Specifically, V2 was characterized by larger clusters of vegetation, while V1 had greater heterogeneity, especially in the south part. Confirming the results of Matese et al. [23], in the case of a vineyard having large vegetation clusters (V2) with a spatial gradient variability (trend), lower resolutions seem more informative, providing similar results in both platforms with respect to more irregular vegetation distribution in the cases of V1 (south part). The work of Kaliq et al. [61] is the only previous work available on the relationship between UAV and S2 data in viticulture. The authors focused on an effective filtering approach to remove inter-row pixel contribution on a row-based vineyard. That work achieved lower correlated results (0.55–0.72 Pearson correlation coefficients range) compared to our work, probably due to a different data analysis approach applied on a different training system architecture.
To compare different remote sensing platforms, correlation with ground data is pivotal to validate results as reported by several studies [78,79,85].
Table 4 shows the correlation matrix between ground data (see Table 2) and NDVI from remote sensing platforms (unfiltered and filtered UAV and Sentinel-2). There is a good correlation between NDVI from the UAV and from the satellite for quantitative agronomic parameters (yield, bunch weight, pruning wood, and leaf area) in both V1 and V2 vineyards and for both S2 image acquisition dates, with R2 varying from 0.60 for pruning biomass with S2 in V1 in September to 0.95 for yield with UAV_f in V2. Titratable acidity has a fluctuating trend but with low-medium R2 values, except for UAV_f in V2, where R2 is 0.69. Sugars do not seem to be correlated with the NDVI index in either vineyard nor with all remote sensing platforms; R2 values ranged from 0.02 to 0.20 in August and September S2 images, respectively, in V1, with a peak of 0.33 in the V2 vineyard with UAV_f. Those results areh NDVI is well correlated to quantitative agronomic parameters (i.e., while the correlation is quite weak with respect to the qualitative parameters (i.e., titratable acidity and sugars) [20,100,101].
The slight difference between UAV_uf and S2 in some R2 values for quantitative agronomic parameters, such as bunch weight, pruning biomass, and leaf area in V1 on both S2 image acquisition dates and pruning biomass in August and leaf area in September in V2, could be explained by the time gap of 10 and 9 days, respectively, between the UAV flight and the available S2 images of 30 August and 19 September 2015. As might be expected, in both vineyards, filtering technique, which allows only the pixels representing crop canopies in the correlation with ground data to be analyzed, slightly improves the already high R2 values of the unfiltered images. Exceptions were found in V1 for sugars and pruning biomass parameters in UAV_f with similar (0.10 vs. 0.10 R2) or lower (0.76 vs. 0.73 R2) correlation values than UAV_uf.
In V1 and V2, S2 has a high correlation coefficient (R2) for agronomic parameters closely related to biomass production such as yield, bunch weight, pruning wood, and leaf area (with values ranging from 0.60 for pruning biomass to 0.88 for yield in both V1 and in September). This trend (high R2 value) is similar for both S2 image acquisition dates, even if August S2 image has a better fit with respect to quantitative agronomic parameters (except for yield) due to low plant senescence in August.
According to the aim of this study, S2 correlation values are very similar to those of UAV_uf, demonstratingentinel-2 on crops with a continuous canopy such as an overhead trellis system. In contrast to the first comparison of S2 and UAV in a vineyard [61], which described an accurate spectral analysis on a row-based trellis system with visual vigor assessment validation, a strong point of this work is the high ground validation measurements related to yield, quality, and biomass parameters. The influence of bare soil plays a critical role in remote-sensing crop-monitoring approaches, strongly affecting the plant vigor estimation. In the case of bare soil, filtering methods applied to high resolution images provide the best solution for an effective analysis of crop spectral response. The S2 approach shows very good results in tendone systems, and the presence of limited zones with missing plants and bare soil (V1 ≤ 4%; V2 ≤ 2%) does not strongly affect our spectral and agronomical analysis.
This study performed aimages and ground keyIn terms of vineyard spatial variability, a visual inspection of UAV and Sentinel-2 NDVI maps shows the same vigor trend for each vineyard. For the NDVI values after the filtering technique, in both vineyards, Sentinel-2 data show a higher correlation with UAV_uf than UAV_f. As further proof of comparable outcomes between two remote sensing platforms, Sentinel-2’s lower resolution provides similar results with respect to UAV_uf, especially in the vineyard characterized by large vegetation clusters. This study also shows the good correlation between NDVIs elaborated from both platforms and agronomic key parameters, with a marginal improvement for the filtered UAVpatial resolution provided by Sentinel-2 on an overhead trellis system viticulture, as already well-proven on other continuous crops, suggesting the diffusion of innovative technologies for site-specific management for an emerging viticulture area with low value-added production thanks, above all, to the free images provided by Sentinel-2.
Beyond the results of the present study, some of the future challenges facing the use of Sentinel-2 in PV concern the correlation and validation with biomass and production parameters in row-based vineyards given the inter-row spectral contribution due to the presence of bare soil, grass cover, and shadow pixels.

Similarly, a number of changes have occurred within the financial services industry that has prompted a comparable level of mistrust towards industry professionals. Underpinning these events is the concept of asymmetric information, or an informational imbalance between parties, which is not a newly occurring phenomenon when it comes to financial services. This information disparity has been long discussed within the context of economic theory. In simple terms, the service provider takes advantage of an information gap versus the client for their own interests. When combined with more recent ‘atmospheric’ shifts including financial repression by Central Bankers, rising demands on organizations’ financial resources and the investment industry successfully selling high cost and complex solutions, a perfect storm is created. Not unlike the reported rise in global temperatures, most of these shifts in markets have been subtle and occurring over an extended period of time. This is an enormous challenge to an asset owner’s ability to enact a sustainable investment program. Compounding the impact of these difficulties is an environment where asset owners have few advice providers to rely on, as the universe of reliable, consultative partners has winnowed and investment committee participation continues to decline. Though the effects from Mother Nature cannot be fully controlled, asset owners have the ability to take greater command of these market forces and better manage the fate of their institutions.
At the root of the issues facing investors is an information imbalance which has been well-documented and centers on the function of markets as a ‘Losers Game,’ famously described by Charles Ellis. The concept of investing as a zero-sum game has been evident for years in active manager performance, and at the heart of this is agency risk or the principal-agent issue as a misalignment of interests and incentives. Over the trailing five-year period, as of year-end 2017, 84.2% of large-cap managers, 85.1% of mid-cap managers, and 91.2%It is true that for several periods throughout recent history investing was often a ‘Winner’s Game’ but, these environments tend to self-correct with crowding. Further, in years past there were ‘networks of information’ and less regulatory scrutiny where active managers were able to capture a performance edge. More recently, markets have evolved and information and technology has proliferated, reducing the performance advantages that once existed. Even the asset managers recognize the difficult environment; otherwise we’d likely see a more prevalent move to offer performance-based fees for publicly-listed investments. A similar phenomenon is occurring in private markets, as well. It is widely reported that valuations are stretched and deals are hard to come by. Yet, there is over $4T in ‘dry powder’ capital waiting to be deployed by investors. The end result will likely be non-differentiated performance, while the investment manager continues to pocket generous fees. This is a clear example of the agency risk issue, where advisors or money managers are putting their interests (i.e., fee income) over the interests of the institution or client. Their sole focus is on obtaining sticky assets and garner feesto invest that amount of funds profitably.
Another facet of this perfect storm contributing to the challenges faced by asset owners is the narrowing universe of advisors that are truly independent. Following the global financial crisis, and with the increasing complexities of financial markets as noted above, asset owners have shifted towards outsourcing the fiduciary responsibilities of their investment portfolios. As a result, has surged over the last decade, and traditional investment consultants have become a growing segment of that market (via expansion or re-purposing their internal capabilities to serve the OCIO market), as a way to supplement an otherwise low-margin business. These formerly independent advisors have moved into the role of asset manager, and the ability of those same firms to offer impartial advice has become increasingly blurred byAs concerning, many global financial services firms have also witnessed the growth opportunity and thrown their hats into the ring. These large firms are hired (often based on a brand name) to provide an oversight function for their investor clients, but are themselves offering competing investment products which compound the misalignment of interests. These transitions only further perpetuate the principal-agent problem and information disparities.
The first such area, as highlighted previously, is the zero-sum game of investing. As noted by Burton G. Malkiel in 2013, “… unds, and the amount of underperformance is well approximated by the difference in fees charged by the two types of funds.” Often times the perplexing behavior of investors to continue to pay excessive fees for lackluster performance can be attributed to investor overconfidence and successful marketing via the asset management industry. A trusted advisor can provide measured guidance on how to navigate these issues, including determining the most appropriate allocation of an investment expense budget to passive vs. active mandates.
Another area a trusted advisor can provide assistance to asset owners is in guiding investment committees away from the propensity towards short-termism and instead focus on long-term objectives. An example of this would be providing education around the performance impact of staying invested during turbulent markets. Morningstar-published data revealedfrom 2007-2016. By February 2009 (the trough of the global financial crisis), the value of that investment would have dropped by nearly half. However, if the investor remained in the market over the next 82 months, the value of the portfolio would grow to $195,719. Conversely, if the investor had exited at the trough, for one year, and then re-invested for the same duration, the portfolio value would be $127,517. Alternatively, a move to all cash at the bottom of the market would have yielded just $54,580.

Offering opportunities and information to help educate investment committees on these nuances can be a valuable component to the long-term success of an institution. These decisions can have a meaningful effect on the longevity of an institution and a measured approach, borne of experience, can help mitigate common pitfalls. Likewise, while diversification is an important feature for investment portfolios, as the lines continue to be blurred in the context of advice-givers, there is a tendency for investment programs to over-diversify by hiring too many asset managers. This can occur as a way to reduce risk, occasionally to satisfy political relationships, or for an OCIO to offer its own in-house products. Unfortunately, this over-complication often occurs as a means for advisors to hone their narratives and embellish another aspect of their storytelling, typically at the expense of portfolio returns. Importantly, investment advisors will get paid, regardless of the performance results or the number of managers within a portfolio. A recent CFA study shows that, among public equities, “Excess diversification can cause the overall level of active risk to decline to such a level that achieving expected return targets may prove unrealistic.” As such, hiring too many active managers can ultimately lead to creating an expensive index fund. Again, these are situations where a non-conflicted counselor can assist committees in adhering to the policy guidelines put in place by the institution and implement a selective portfolio of best ideas.
Asbecome pervasive, markets and service providers have faced increased competition and created blurred lines about their ultimate intentions. In this environment, it has become imperative that non-conflicted advice is required from the parties providing counsel on how to manage the assets of an institution. As an asset owner or someone who represents an owner, there are several questions that are likely to come to mind. Does your trusted advisor benefit from offering internally managed investment solutions; are they working to gather assets for fee income; do they answer to public shareholders? A true partner will signal, without reservation, the intent to remain solely in an advisory capacity. Often, the relationship becomes mutually beneficial, as competent advisors experience organic growth of their business through referrals from existing clients. These firms are not reliant on catchy marketing slogans or dependent on brand-name recognition; instead, they rely on the institutional networks in which they operate.

en | N/A | N/A | I knew Allison well. She was one of my trainees and kind of a kooky hippy chick - all 90 pounds of her -who caught rattle snakes and made belts and hat bands outta them as a hobby. Nobody knew what to make of her. A lot of us weren't fond of snakes., like Indiana Jones.
Some guys in Yuma had a proclivity for pranking other agents with snakes. Snakes in lockers, snakes in Ram Chargers. Hopefully, the snakes were in paper bags, sometimes not. That doesn't even count the snakes who showed up of their own volition.
One afternoon we were in the middle of a shift briefing, when somebody opened up a mail drawer directly behind me and that unmistakable BUZZZZ was heard. Somebody yelled SNAKE!!! And in less than a split second there were about 30 guys up on the tables and chairs scanning the floor with their magnums out. I'm sure I was one of the first ones onto a briefing table. Out the corner of my eye I see the PAIC appear in the hallway from his office. Spying the turmoil, and not missing a step, the PAIC did a perfect military about-face and disappeared. Poof! Gone.
In the chaos, Allison calmly walks over in her dress uniform, peeks into the mail drawer and in a flash grabs up the sidewinder. and then saunters out the back door to release it above the canal.
Now there's 30 guys looking sheepishly at each other, cautiously holstering their magnums and gingerly, very gingerly, climbing down off the chairs and tables.
Everybody then sat down and gave the shift supervisor their full and undivided attention, as if nothing had happened. No official mention of it was ever made. It was as if nothing had ever happened. But it sure gave the us all something to talk about later. In one fell swoop Allison had one-upped every macho hairy chested guy in the sector, including the PAIC.
Another night I caught a guy who inexplicably swam the All American Canal naked, leaving all of his clothes on the other side in the process. Not a stitch of clothing to his name did he have. He offered that he'd swim back to the other side, get his clothing and then swim back to us, but we kinda didn't believe him. Allison got on the radio few minutes later and wanted to know if we had any 10-15's to transport to the station. I told her we had about 8, plus a guy who was "starkers" and we'd be at "Pop's" - a hill above Andrade.
Allison asked on the radio what "starkers" meant, but after all the microphone clicking ended I didn't answer.
Allison shows up about 30 minutes later and cheerfully starts lining up our catch to load into her van. We saved the nudist for last and when she saw him Allison and all the aliens, who were in on the gag, got the giggles really bad Some of them were even clapping and cheering. Allison was a good sport. She was kooky, but a good person to have with you when there were snakes around, or you needed to transport a nudist. |

They bought it. My editor asked, “What do you think about the title Presumed Dead?” I don’t know if she realized the connection, but I was like, “That’s a GREAT title!” Though it does confuse my critique partners who know the first story as Presumed Dead.

en | N/A | N/A | Believe it or not, not every prepper or survivalist is totally enamored with the quintessential semi-auto rifle platform. Though the AR-15s and AK-47s among other similar rifle types are highly touted as the ideal prepper weapon, some folks just don’t like them. Well, not like them or don’t trust them or the cartridges in their chambers.
by Dr. John J. Woods, a contributing author
Many alternatives from these militaristic rifle forms exist and among the most popular is the classic Marlin 336 lever action rifle. Mainly chambered for the also classic 30-30 Winchester round or if lucky enough to find one in a .35 Remington, then you would have a handy dandy ready to go to work prepper rifle.
The Marlin 336 rifle comes in a more or less rarefied “Y” version. The “Y” is really a youth model, but configured just like its father figure, the full sized rifle. It is the perfect balance in a shorter length, and lighter weight, but still quite fitting for an adult shooter. Its features and functions are just like the regular rifle version. I say rarefied because the youth models can be a little more challenging to find on a gun dealer’s shelf. It may have to be ordered.
Also Read: 6 Prepper Calibers That Are Under The Radar
Also chambered for the 30-30, it is a good alternative to other rifle forms. The 30-30 is fully capable of self-defense and its reputation in the hunting field is legendary. It still holds the record for having dispatched more white-tailed deer than any other rifle cartridge. For history buffs, the 30-30 was also the first round commercially loaded with smokeless powder in 1894.
The Firefield Close Combat Optic
Certainly there is no reason at all not to use the 336Y with its supplied factory open sights for close range work in hunting or otherwise. The 30-30 is after all a rather short range affair anyway, reliable out to 100 yards, and 150 in a pinch. Adding an optical sight is just a nice touch and provides an extra measure of shooting precision.
While traditional glass rifle scopes are a common accessory for the Marlin 336 lever action, this time around the option went to a Firefield Close Combat, 1-4×24 scope that has an illuminated Mil-Dot reticle. This scope’s lighted feature can be turned on to either red or green with brightness controls or levels from 0-5 power.
The power comes from a disk CR 2032 battery that is housed in a screw tight compartment on the illumination brightness control knob on the left side of the scope body. There are “OFF” positions that can be rotated to at the end of each color brightness level to save power. Battery life is listed at 80-150 hours. The scope comes with two batteries.
The Firefield riflescope has a 1-4 power range with the 24mm objective front lens. The riflescope is constructed of aluminum and weighs only 14.2 ounces. The tube diameter is 30mm for additional light gathering capability. The lenses are fully coated. The eyepiece diameter is 36mm and is adjustable for focus. This is a nice feature if you wear eyeglasses or contacts. The scope is listed as weather proof, shock proof, and fog proof. It comes with mount rings, and a lens cleaning cloth. This optic retails for about $100, inexpensive, but well-made and fully serviceable.
Mounting this optic is a traditional process. First, acquire a mount base. I picked the Leupold base made of aircraft grade aluminum for this project. There are three cross slots to easily accommodate the scope rings.
To prepare the mount the factory scope mount hole screws are removed. I wipe down the top of the receiver and the mount with alcohol to clean it from factory grease. I also clean the mount screws, but I add a screw adhesive to each one. These mount screws should be tightened well, but not over tightened for fear of stripping them off. You don’t want to do that.
Once the scope base is in place, then mount the factory supplied mount rings. The bolt nut ring mount should not be over tightened either. The Firefield rings have four each top ring mounting screws. These should be cleaned and screw glue can be added if desired. I did not.
With the top of the rings removed, set the scope into the rings and replace the top rings. Now comes the fun part, aligning the scope’s reticle square to the rifle bore. There are devices made to help with this, otherwise it is a trial and error affair of checking, mounting the rifle, then rechecking.
Before completely tightening the scope rings down, check the scope eye relief (front to rear) with your shooting eye as the rifle is held to your shoulder in a shooting position. Also square up the reticle as this time. Slowly tighten the scope ring tops, alternating from screw to screw in a crisscross fashion. Keep the space gap between the upper and lower ring sections as equal as possible. Continue to check the reticle square as you fully tighten the scope rings.
This can be a tedious process especially if you are as anal retentive as I am. I tend to want this process perfect and that is not easy. If you have a better process for squaring a scope’s reticle, pass it on.
Of course, the scope can then be boresighted to give you an edge before an actual range sight-in. Do not rely on boresighting though, as it is only intended to get your rifle printing on target paper first. Precise target sighting can only be accomplished at a fixed firing range ideally off a bench rest.
Most ballistics charts for the standard 150 grain bullets in the 30-30 suggest a -0- zero at 100 yards. This will set you up for all general shooting with this rifle and cartridge. Just so you know for reference, this would print the bullet 7-8 inches low at 200 yards.
The Marlin 336Y in 30-30 makes a neat, easy carry, and quick to action rifle for hunting, prepper and survival work. It can be mastered easily by female and young shooters alike. Whatever other rifles you may have for survival, this lever action can be a first rate primary rifle or a qualified back up as well.
Survival Tools Preppers Must Have

Wife has a Winchester 94 in 30-30 that we bought from a pawn shop. Open sights only. I would not care to be down range if I was the intended recipient. Oh yes, it is very good for deer and coyote.
Chilichef July 24, 2017 - 10:10 am
Look, 30-30 lever action has distinct advantages; it hits harder than AK-47 and substantially harder than 223/5.56; ammunition is widely available, if you know what you’re doing it can be very, very quick for 2nd and subsequent shots, and is widely available on used market; not just Winchester and Marlin brands but a lot of store brands, i.e, Sears Roebuck (Ted Williams) and others at extraordinarily reasonable prices. And it is ‘legally friendly’ , it simply does not carry the public baggage that one of your military style/Black rifle types do. It is relatively short range as the author notes but certainly much longer range than shotgun or handgun.
TPSnodgrass July 24, 2017 - 7:56 pm
I am the proud owner of a very slightly and lightly used 336. I had “extra” 7.62X39 ammo during the Great Ammo Drought, and a close friend wanted to do the swap. I agreed. Looking hard at the scope, even though I prefer the sights I have on the rifle now. I have made it my politically expedient cowboy assault rifle, for road trips when traveling through communista states. I think the Firefield scope might make it all the more bestest to use.
Ray July 26, 2017 - 10:06 am
My brother in law has a M-336. It was new with less than 500 rounds through it when the leaver pivot pin sheared off while he was trying for a follow up shot on a 12 point buck. If I were to consider a survival only pack gun I think I’d go with a “Topper” type single shot. One action many barrels. Simple and almost no moving parts to break. |

en | N/A | N/A | Little Things that Matters
When Infovision Research Systems was started, its foundation is based on a clearly defined notion of “Trust” and “Confidence”. The belief that each member is important and worthy of trust and that each member shall reciprocate it with confidence. Over the years, this belief is still at force, maybe its little things, but it matters so much as far as our company is concerned.
There once a story of a person who goes to the antique shop without anything in mind or purpose to buy. He just roams around the shop and found a detailed and well crafted bronze rat. He immediately picked it up and goes to the old man cashier and asked for the price. The old man told the person, “You may take the bronze rat for P/200 pesos and the story that goes with it for P/ 1000”. The young man, quibbled.. i will just take the bronze rat.. never mind the story. Then the old man wrapped it up and give it to the young man..
While outside walking, he passed a sewage hole and see two rats coming out to follow him..he didnt mind it.. then passing by another sewage hole, another four rats followed.. and then it goes into hundreds. People who had seen him followed by hundreds to thousands of rats are shouting in fear and disgust. He began to run fast, when the rats keeps going more and more to hundred thousands and followed him wherever he goes.
The moral of story is simply…Trust. When people trusted you, they follow you. And when they dont they ignore you. “Trust” is one thing you give reciprocated by Confidence…. Little Things but Matters most.

In October 2010, the Management assigned Mr. Andy Coma – concurrent Research Division Manager and now the Research Director to temporarily manage the branch to ensure the branch aligned to the operational standards of the company on the way to success. It was then that the branch made a lot of improvements due to the strong teamwork . The site continue to earn more accounts thereby increasing its revenue in the process. From a four original team, the branch now counts to about ten when growth of volume requires more people to handle and meet the client expectations.
Infovision Laguna branch continues its journey towards success like a ship who traverses the vast seascape to reach its destiny. It is determined to overcome the trying periods associated with in the normal birth pains of a company. This resulted to an increase of percentage for both volume and revenue generation though it still not yet profitable during this period. The branch delivered more positive outlook towards success and relevance in line with the vision of its CEO and President Mr. Henry C. Poblador. It aims to at least register a P/ 500,000 income during its first year and contribute to the Infovision’s goal and become a revenue generating branch.
The reassignment of Mr. Andy Coma – Concurrent Branch Operations Manager to the Makati branch proved challenging since the company had to contend in harnessing locally hired personnel to manage the Branch operation. The appointment of Ms. Rachel Juanillo as the new BOM of Laguna is a manifestation of trust and confidence of the company on her capabilities to lead the branch and continue to pursue its visions and goals.
INFOVISION MANILA @ 5
Manila Cordage Corporation, a rope and twine manufacturer was the 1st client of Infovision Manila for credit investigation. It was in October 2006 when we won the contract for Sitel Philippines, a Business Process Outsourcing company contracted us as their exclusive vendor for pre-employment screening or background investigation services. To cope up with the growing business demands, additional personnel were added including Ms. Len Enriquez who started as Tele specialist handling Sitel account and later promoted to become one of the front runners of Infovision Manila.
The second year of Infovision Manila was the most challenging year. In terms of client acquisition and revenue generation including the financial standing of the company, this was the tough time for all the officers and staffs. Having faced with financial difficulties, we needed to tighten our belts to survive on this very difficult and trying times. The management decided to review the overall operational processes, made a strategic planning and personnel appraisal to come out with a better Infovision in the coming years.
The challenges brought by economic crises worldwide had just made us stronger to face the coming years with enthusiasm and positive mindset, believing that that the 1 Million monthly gross revenue for Manila as envision during the conceptualization stage of Manila operation was not remote but achievable and can be done.
Infovision Manila team continued its aggressive marketing campaign and improved its operational dynamics in 2008. From the total endorsements of 656 in 2007, the branch generated a total endorsement 2,159 in 2008. In 2009, we received a total endorsement of 3,905 and almost tripled in 2010 by acquiring 10,847 client endorsements.
Four years after it was incepted, the month of August 2010 was the highlight of Manila operation having achieved record breaking Php 1.0 M gross revenue for that month. The succeeding months of that year, gross revenue generation steadily maintained at P/ 1M to as high as P 1.6 M in November of 2010.
From four personnel in 2006, Infovision Manila has a current workforce of 60 employees. We now have three core business divisions, namely: Credit and Appraisal Division under Ms Almira Puso – Baltazar, Research & Publication Division by Mr. Andy Coma and B.I. Division. The BI Division is under the direct leadership of Mr. Carlo Virtudez. He has four departments under this division, namely: Tele Specialist under the supervision of Ms. Loida Carino, Data Analysts Department under Ms Ella Sepe, School Specialists Department under Aimee Amores and the Field Research Department under Mr. Marlon Talosig.
Infovision Manila will be celebrating its 5th Anniversary this August 2011. To all of you guys, “CHEERS” may you continue to be a blessing to others “Happy Anniversary”. |

Ruth Mickens accepts a County Council proclamation honoring her late husband Glenn Mickens Wednesday at the Historic County Building council chambers in Lihue.
LIHUE — For decades, and without fail, one of the island’s most prominent government watchdogs, Glenn Mickens, showed up at County Council meetings on Wednesdays.
He always donned a blue UCLA jacket and came prepared — more than ready to offer his testimony on issues. In fact, Mickens was so dedicated that the only times he ducked out early was to watch what he deemed to be an important baseball game or to take his daily four-mile walk.
Councilmembers and friends offered their condolences and shared fond reflections of the late Mickens with his wife, Ruth Mickens, at the start of Wednesday’s council meeting.
“He always kept the County Council on their toes,” said Councilmember Felicia Cowden.
You always knew where Mickens stood, said Council Chair Arryl Kaneshiro. When Mickens was in agreement, he’d have a classic smirk on his face. And when he disagreed, he’d disapprovingly shake his head.
But even though he had his opinions, Mickens always interacted respectfully, Kaneshiro said.
Mickens died at the age of 88 in July. Prior to moving to Kauai three decades ago, Mickens had a 15-year career playing professional baseball. At the age of 22, he started pitching for the Brooklyn Dodgers and even befriended Jackie Robinson during his stint in the big leagues.
He retired from his assistant coach position at UCLA (thus, the jacket) in 1989. Mickens subsequently moved to Kauai, a place that he and his wife fell in love with in the 1970s, where he immediately became a community advocate.
Councilmember Luke Evslin said that while he was in high school, he remembers watching Mickens at council meetings on television. The first time he got to meet Mickens — who was, of course, wearing his signature jacket — Evslin was star struck.
“He was always there and always paying attention,” Evslin said.
Among the issues that Mickens was passionate about was what he called the misapplication of asphalt on Kauai roads. After more than two decades of consistently sharing his manao, roads are now paved differently, said Lonnie Sykos, friend and fellow government watchdog.
“He kept me on my toes, and I took a lot of what he said to heart,” said Lyle Tabata, deputy county engineer, who presented a proclamation from the mayor in honor of Mickens.
Two things Mickens, who was also a regular letter to the editor contributor, was also adamant about, but never got to see come to fruition, were building more roads to alleviate traffic woes, insisting that people would never give up their vehicles, and allowing keiki from other bloodlines to be accepted into AJA (Americans of Japanese Ancestry) Baseball.
“He was a passionate firecracker,” said Councilmember Mason Chock.
Glenn was our neighbor for many years and we shared many a back-fence or mid-walk discussion about County and State issues. I often urged him to run for County Council, but he felt he could be more effective as a “watcher.” I always enjoyed his perspective, even when we disagreed. The disagreements usually centered around the bike path, which he opposed as being too expensive and high maintenance despite his near-daily walks around the Wailua neighborhood. I doubt he ever stepped foot on the bike path, and he never took up my joking challenge that we go for a bike-ride on the path. My point is that he was always open to talking about any political topic (or baseball, of course!) without condemning who he was talking to. Glenn exemplified how participatory Democracy is supposed to work.
And don’t forget his “quiet dynamo” of a wife! She was always Glenn’s secret source of support! Ruthie, we love you and we (all of Kauai) will miss Glenn. Aloha nui loa! |

Dr. Georgescu began her career working inMontreal, Canada, where she realized that the models used were overwhelmingly ineffective in helping women bring any kind of meaningful change into their and their children’s lives. Her discovery of ACT and DBT provided foundational evidence based models that have guided her academic work and clinical care, Dr. G. is now the founder & licensed clinical psychologist for the Contextual CBT Center in Reno, Nevada. Under this umbrella, she continues to train, mentor and conduct clinical services with a diverse population. She occasionally teacheevada Reno (UNR) and Nevada VA. Dr. Georgescu also retains leadership roles asShe is Chair of the Diversity Committee and past co-President of the Women in ACBS Self-Interest Group (SIG). She is also a regular presenter/nter/national conferences. She has also written a few articles/chapters on various topics in the Contextual CBT area, including burnout.
Clinical careers evolve like any others. Early in their career, idealistic clinicians show enthusiasm and excitement about the profession despite often being underpaid, having little control over their employment and working long hours in busy institutions. While there, complicated profiles challenge their effectiveness, while systemic pressures and responsibilities multiply. Individuals, especially if career focused, augment their efforts and persist, usually getting over-involved with work and disconnected from other pursuits that seem less immediate and less important. Burnout, or the longer-term symptoms associated with useless avoidant persistence when one should probably step back and reorient eventually spreads to those around us, further feeding the toxic environment. Clients also inevitably suffer as clinicians become more callous, hurried, irritable and continue to ignore their own self-care needs.
From an ACT perspective, facing the pain of experiential avoidance and its acceptance counterpart have been shown to mediate the relationship we have with our experience (be it painful) and thereby help workers turn toward and make use of the much needed information that experience provides, so that we can reorient and reconnect with the values of the work. By engaging the Psychological Flexibility model, t review and reconnect to your work values, reassess self-care and develop a plan for behavioral change so thatves.
This 2 hour, web-based event is designed for ABA practitioners interested in applying ACT to the problems of stress resulting from work in the field. Attendees will review rates and contributing variables related to employee burnout, practice specific exercises for identifying values-related behavioral targets, and plan for applying strategies to supporting other staff experiencing symptoms of work-related burnout.
Attendees will articulate the main points from the burnout research literature.
Attendees will utilize values-driven exercises and to identify meaningful overt behaviors for self-care.
Attendees will apply acceptance-based processes to increase valued overt behaviors in the work domain. |

The anticipation is all built up towards the expected announcement date of the Garmin 920XT which is thought to be October 11th 2014, this is on the same day as the IronMan world Championships in Kona, so that would be a sensible date to reach heaps of triathlon media in one go. We also found a pre listings of the 920XT to be available ‘mid-october’, which somewhat confirms this.
Now, what everybody has been asking, what will it cost? From what we’ve gathered it will come at a price of $449 or €449.
Additional images we’ve found on Garmin (thanks to http://tritriagain.uk/ on a pointer where to look, scroll through these images as we currently have 12.
Markus Unterweger is a German photographer/triathlete/blogger who posted to Twitter that he was the photographer a shoot with the Garmin 920XT. He’s sharing two images on his blog which you will find below.
The Garmin 920XT seems to be smaller than the 910XT which will be very nice when you’re wearing it under your wetsuit as it will be a lot easier to take off then.
Garmin added a touch screen to the 220/620 and if we can speculate just a bit about the features based on this photo it looks like the Forerunner 920XT will have e touchscreen too. The screen is not raised as the 910XT is and has a little bevel around it. Just like the 220/620, to protect the screen from easily scratching. </s> Understandably, during audit, companies that are under intense scrutiny look more closely and broadly at their material and activities.

Before he was a Trump Veterans Affairs ‘shadow ruler,’ Ike Perlmutter transformed Marvel
President Trump meets with then-chief-of-staff designate Reince Priebus, left, and Isaac “Ike” Perlmutter, CEO of Marvel Entertainment, at the Mar-a-Lago Club in December 2016 in Palm Beach, Fla. (Ricky Carioti/The Washington Post)
August 8, 2018 at 6:28 PM EDT
In a trending article published Wednesday by ProPublica, the headline calls Marvel Entertainment chairman Ike Perlmutter one of three “shadow rulers” of the Department of Veterans Affairs.
It’s hardly the first time that Perlmutter — already known as a Mar-a-Lago pal and VA adviser of President Trump’s — has been characterized as a shadow ruler. The long-reclusive mogul, who helped orchestrate Disney’s $4 billion buy of Marvel nearly a decade ago, has long worked behind a scrim of mystery.
Part of the intrigue starts with simple optics. For years before Trump’s political rise, contemporary photos of Perlmutter were rare, and he was seldom spotted in public. Just who was this man who, according to Hollywood lore, so valued his visual anonymity that he attended the 2008 “Iron Man” premiere in a fake mustache and glasses?
The air of mystery that surrounds Perlmutter begins with his apparent rags-to-riches story. Despite his ties to VA, he did not serve in the U.S. military — he is an Israeli army veteran who reportedly immigrated to America in 1967 with just $250 in his pocket, according to Forbes.
The rise of Perlmutter, 75, through the properties of Marvel began a quarter-century ago, when Marvel bought near a half-ownership stake in Perlmutter’s Toy Biz — a deal that let his company manufacture Marvel character action figures. Within three years, though, Marvel Entertainment Group filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in New York, and reorganization plans involving Toy Biz were soon proposed. Seeing opportunity in the wash of red ink, Perlmutter — along with Avi Arad, his Toy Biz co-owner and fellow Israeli army veteran — wrested away control of Marvel from owner Ronald Perelman and investor Carl Icahn in 1998 through a Toy Biz merger.
With a clear-eyed mission to turn around Marvel’s fortunes, Perlmutter and Arad steered hard toward licensing Marvel’s characters “to moviemakers, toymakers, video game makers and television producers,” as the New York Times reported in 2003. Over the next six years, films featuring Spider-Man, Daredevil and the X-Men grossed more than $2.4 billion worldwide.
In 2008, the financially transformed Marvel launched its Marvel Cinematic Universe into theaters with that summer season’s “Iron Man” and “The Incredible Hulk.” The MCU has grossed more than $17 billion worldwide to date.
Perlmutter remained in a top leadership position on Marvel’s film side until 2015, when Kevin Feige, who had been president of Marvel Studios on the West Coast since 2007, was able to win a reorganization of the studio’s movie group and report directly to Disney Studios chief Alan Horn. The revamp was viewed as “a blow to New York-based Perlmutter, a low-profile billionaire who has contributed to Marvel’s reputation in Hollywood for frugality and secrecy,” the Hollywood Reporter wrote at the time.
The controversial mogul sowed conflict both within and outside Marvel Studios, THR reported — with “nearly everyone on screen . . . regarded as replaceable, with the exception of Robert Downey Jr.”
And for all the MCU’s success, Perlmutter was viewed as holding back the success of female superheroes. “He clung to outdated opinions about casting, budgeting and merchandising that ran counter to trends in popular culture,” Vanity Fair reported last year. (Perlmutter declined to comment for the story.)
Perlmutter remains chairman of Marvel Entertainment, the Disney subsidiary that is the parent to Marvel comic-book, animation and television units.
As part of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago circle, Perlmutter was asked by the incoming president to help put together his government, ProPublica reported, and Perlmutter “offered to be an outside adviser.”
Vanity Fair noted last year that Perlmutter was “an early Trump supporter” and donor who “also advises the White House on veterans’ issues.”
Now we know, as ProPublica reported Wednesday, citing a former official, Perlmutter is the first person the president calls on veterans issues. |

en | N/A | N/A | Two months ago a friend of mine bought a Tiptronic Audi S4 and my other friend took delivery of a new BMW 330i (w/sports package and 5 speed manual)last month. I was wondering whether you guys knew which would be faster to 60mph. Sure a 6 speed manual S4 would beat a 330i to 60mph but what about the 5 speed Tiptronic S4?
S4 - absolutely, unquestionably, undeniably, possibly even in reverse. While I have only driven 6 speed S4s (I have driven the A6 with the auto and the 2.7), I have driven both auto and manual 330s - trust me - this is no contest.
S4 would win easily...even on a flat tire. The S4 is a 2.7 liter turbo...i heard its twin turbo but im not too sure about that. And the BMW 330 is pretty much the same as the IS300...maybe a little bit faster.
The tip S4's are about 6 seconds to 60mph and the 330i about 6.4.
There about 40hp difference but the S4 is a lot heavier. The advantage the S4 would have to 60mph is the awd launch plus it takes no skill in a tip.
The whole reason for this post is because www.audiusa.com says the Tiptronic S4 does 0-60 in 6.5 seconds (a very conservative figure) and I'm assuming that the 6.4 second claim for the Manual 330i BMW is conservative as well. However, all in all I think the S4 would have the edge but I don't know by how much.
that would be a close race, but since the 330i is more prone to driver error (misshift, launching), it might be harder to match up to the tiptronic (all you do is press and press).
does this mean when a 5spd IS comes out, which will basically be about even with a 5sp BMW, we can roll with a auto s4?
Probably not, but hey, we've got a cooler car.
I have driven my friend's Tiptronic S4 and can attest that each and everyone of those 250 horses can GALLOP. I haven't driven my other friend's 330i but doubt it has a chance with keeping up with a Tiptronic S4 in straight line acceleration runs...
I told my friend that I was planning to purchase the IS and he told me I was better off getting the A4 or the A6 if I was going to spend that kind of money. I disagreed with him based purely on the fact that the transmission of the IS is better suited for me. I can drive manual but prefer auto and have only owned auto cars. This tranny allows me to safely dabble with driving manually. He says I'm crazy and should stick with the AWD A4 or A6.
I think A4 is a pretty good car,model changes to new design next year and that the reliability problem with the Audi is just terrible.
although its a generalization, its probably safe to say that Audi's and BMW have poor reliability... even in the first couple of years... we have all heard the stories, but great and small...
otherwise, the A4 is a great car and the 1.8T is the best 4 in the world... chip it, tighten the suspension, bigger brakes and you've got a great all weather car...
don't waste your money on the 2.8 ...
The 225 horses in the 330i can gallop as well. And the 330i has a very nice fat and flat torque curve. As someone mentioned, the _official_ numbers for 0-60 are 6.5s for the S4 w/tip and 6.4s for the 330i w/stick. I think it'd be a decent horse race.
the old m3 was nose and nose with the s4....the better driver wins...
Is it just me, or does the A4 styling seem super dull? I looked at the A4 but just couldn't get excited about the styling. I did like the fold-down rear seat, though.
Stock to Stock, 330i and S4 Auto will be close match with S4 slightly ahead of 330i at starting line. However, once into triple digit, 330i can keep up with S4 in mid-range w/out much problem.
S4 is a Twin-Turbo, 2.7L V6(moded 2.8, from Audi A4 2.8). 0-60 time for S4 Auto is rated 6.4 by factory, however, it's conservative, and S4 Auto can pull times from 6 sec flat to 6.2.
As for 330i, I can't really say, but 328i sure is a snail compare to S4. |
en | N/A | N/A | In regard to the following books, some of these books I didn't like much at all, while others were perfectly fine and I liked them well enough, but they were disappointing for one reason or another which I will explain below. Please know that if you absolutely loved any of these books, then that's awesome! Anytime I dislike a book, I generally hope that it's just me and everyone else is enjoying themselves reading it. I know how much hard work goes into crafting a novel (which is probably why I've never been able to write one!), so I don't like to completely hate on any book. That being said, we all get to have valid opinions about things, and these are just some of those books that didn't agree with me. Let's check them out!
Nothing But Blackened Teeth by Cassandra Khaw: This was, by far, probably one of my biggest disappointments this year because I was just so shocked by how much I actively disliked this book. This had so many elements that made it feel nearly tailor-made for me, and yet the execution was just–in my opinion–extremely, desperately lacking. I know some people loved that, and I'm thrilled for those that did, but sadly this just didn't work for me. I hated the characters (and not in a good way, if that makes sense) and felt that their infighting took away from the story rather than contributed, the plotting was confusing, and I felt the pacing was completely off.
The Death of Jane Lawrence by Caitlin Starling: Oof, I'm not sure where to start with this one. This had such an amazing premise and beginning, but it pretty soon just completely fell off the wagon for me and was unable to upright itself again. There were so many random plot points that seemed to be cast aside when they were no longer useful or contradicted with no real explanation, and the characters went from interesting and compelling to absolutely confusing. I loved Starling's The Luminous Dead, but I guess this one just didn't work for me. I still plan to read more of her work, though, because I feel like this one may have just been a random miss.
: True Raiders was, unfortunately, a DNF, and was a disappointment for the sheer fact that I thought it was going to be written as a traditional nonfiction book, but was instead a weird fictional nonfiction thing that felt so weird and forced. I would've loved this as a true nonfiction, but the format just really through me off and I couldn't get into it.
The Abominable by Dan Simmons: I really loved Simmons' The Terror, and I had heard that The Abominable was not typically as loved as The Terror, but it held a variety of elements that I know I love so I opted to give it a shot. I put so much time and energy into this book and was enjoying the slower, meandering pacing... until I felt like I'd read an entire book and we hadn't even gotten to the main event yet. I felt that Simmons' had a much more unpleasant vibe in his narrative as well for some reason when discussing women, etc., and while that won't make me stop reading a book, it didn't exactly endear me more to it. I DNF'd this one, but willconsider it again in the future because I mostly enjoyed the story I was reading, I just found myself getting a bit bored of it.
Down Comes the Night by Alison Saft: This was another DNF. I'm sure this book worked well for many, but I could not make it very far because I was just so annoyed with the characters and it was already feeling like something I'd read a million times before. Maybe one day I'll give it another shot (?), but for now, I'm just not interested in trying it again, which is a bummer since it sounds so interesting.

Summer Sons was probably my least liked book of the year. It was so so slow but not in a good way, and just didn't turn out at all the way I expected. I am so curious about The Atlas Six, and might consider it, maybe if a publicist offers it to me. 😁
I know what you mean about Summer Sons. And honestly, I'd even be curious to check it out again to see if any edits touched on issues I struggled with! It may have been overhyped, but I still think it was a pretty interesting story in general. :)

The Lost Village is one I thought about getting but just haven't pulled the trigger on that one yet. I'll keep my expectations low if I do get it so this is good to know. :)

en | N/A | N/A | Acoustic Thermometry, or Have you heard Heard?
The Perth test and the analysis of the properties of acoustics to account for the observations raised the interesting notion of using the characteristics of sound at very long ranges in the ocean to measure small changes in the average ocean temperature. Such measurements address the question of the warming of the oceans in response to climate change.
Speed of sound is a function of temperature, with a change of 1°C corresponding to a change in sound speed of about 4 m/s. (Sound speed is also a function of the salinity of seawater, but that effect is very small in practice.) By measuring the travel times of acoustic pulses very accurately and knowing the range between the source and the receiver, the changes in the speed of those pulses can be inferred (speed × time = distance). The change in speed can, in turn, be used to infer the change in the ocean temperature. The technique of ocean acoustic tomography has exploited this technique to measure ocean variability since the early '80's (see the book by Munk, Worcester and Wunsch, Ocean Acoustic Tomography, 1995).
The advantage of using sound in this way is that it inherently measures the average temperature over the acoustic path. Long-range acoustic measurements give a natural measure of average ocean temperature. Attempting to make such measurements by "conventional" measurements, such as observations by many single thermometers, would require many, many instruments. In addition, the ocean is highly variable - the ocean has a "weather" of its own that causes temperatures to fluctuate by 1–2°C at any one point from one month to the next. There are also "internal waves" - rapid vertical movements of the ocean's layers - that cause temperatures to fluctuate. In contrast to all this variability, changes in the ocean's average temperature as a result of climate change are expected to be tiny - about 0.005°C per year at 1000 m depth is a nominal expectation. Measuring such small changes conventionally is difficult, while the acoustical approach appears to be ideally suited for the measurement.
Professor Walter Munk in a photo taken in the Southern Ocean during the 1991 HIFT experiment.
Walter Munk therefore conjectured that long-range acoustics, employed on a global scale, could provide a direct way to measure oceanic climate change.
Acoustic sources were readily available and had been used for oceanographic research for many years. (Such acoustic sources are basically loudspeakers that send low-level, but lengthy, carefully-crafted signals, rather than the single very loud pulses from explosives.) Habout using such sources for the purposes of the acoustic measurements over ocean-basin-scale ranges. The HIFT experiment was designed as a feasibility study to answer some of those questions.
Sound made near the sound channel axis at 1000 m depth travels along a discrete set of acoustic paths between the source and the receiver. Measurement of the travel times of the arriving acoustic pulses can be used to infer the change in temperature averaged over the acoustic paths.

2. In early 1971, my parents decided it was time I moved to Bombay where father worked. My first few days were a disaster. No one spoke Tamil or Telugu, the only languages I knew. I couldn’t keep pace with their writing or reading. Then one day, a slight plump lady with large spectacles, wearing trousers walked into the classroom. “Hello,” she said, “My name is Miss Jean.
I am your new class teacher.” She’d done her homework. Spotting me in a back corner, she beckoned me to the front. My almost empty notebooks must have given Miss Jean a clue that I needed the extra attention. If the class had to write a page, I’d be made to write two. Even during PT, I had to stay back and write. When I was caught sneaking to the window to watch the others playing, Miss Jean put me in the middle row, far from the window.
4. Many years went by. I graduated in engineering, then in management, got a job, married and had kids. One day I found myself thinking of Miss Jean. Soon afterwards I found myself in Sydney, Australia, on an official trip. I tried looking up my teacher in the phone book. But it was of no help as I did not know even her surname. Thank you, Miss Jean, wherever you are for the tact and patience with which you taught me.

en | N/A | N/A | A Catskill Catalog: Jan. 21, 2009
W.
For the first 150 years of our republic Congress to the next, took place on March 4, a full four months after the November election. In an era when distance mattered and transportation was difficult, the long period between election and inaugurationo put their affairs in order and make the often arduous trip to Washington.
This “lame duck” period first proved to be a problem in 1861, when southern states, one after the other, passed Articles of Secess. Lincoln, required to wait four months to take power, found himself unable to respond to the growing crisis, since, in the words of our current president, “We only have one president at a time.”
That campaign was a hot one here in the mountains. The legacy of the Civil War had made our area solidly Republican. After all, the Democratic Party had been the party of the south. Lincoln’s Republicans had won the Civil War and ended slavery. The Catskills were rural and overwhelmingly Protestant, and Democrats were identified with cities, saloons, former-slave holding southerners, and largely Catholic immigrants: “Rum, Romanism, and Rebellion” in the words of one late 19th-century Republican broadside.
The Roosevelt Democratic Club carried on a vigorous campaign here, holding a late October rally in Margaretville’s Dugan Hall, now the Granary Building. That rally followed a rally for Landon, organized by the Independent Coalition of American Women, an organization that became the Republican Women’s Club after the election.
Women were very active in the campaign, 1936 being only the fifth. Fanny Hubbell of Kelly Corners led the Roosevelt Club, organizing a campaign luncheon for 60 at the Andes Hotel. The Catskill Mountain News was strong for Landon. The campaign was hard fought. Polls predicted a Landon victory. Roosevelt won in a landslide.
Jubilant Democrats celebrated, perhaps a bit too much. On the Thursday after election, a line of 50 automobiles paraded down Margaretville’s Main Street in what the News described as “a kind of gasoline fan dance to the truck of Ray Shultis,” blowing horns and making merry. On Ray Shultis’ truck, the celebrating Roosevelt supporters propped an outhouse. On the outhouse was a sign that read “Independent Coalition of American Women.” Another sign on the truck read “Republican Propaganda.”
People were upset
Stanley Bussey was one of the few Democratic businessmen in town. His grocery, Bussey’s, became the focus of the boycott.
Forgive, maybe, but forget? Thirty-six years later, I got involved in local politics and people still talked about the outhouse parade of 1936. Surely, hurt feelings, anger, and resentment were still fresh when Roosevelt was sworn in for a second term that January day in 1937. Tough business, mountain politics. |

The life circumstances that Praying for Boys was born out of still stagger me. We lost six family members and friends in six years, and our two boys—born just 23 months apart—came to us in that same season. That they were of the hard-to-handle variety just made the odds of me winning mother of the year go down exponentially. I’m an introvert, they’re both extroverts. The rubs were just everywhere, and all of it, all put together kept, me on my knees.

en | N/A | N/A | Devin-Bodied ’51 Bandini Siluro
What makes an Etceterini an Etceterini? It’s a fair question and one without a complete definition, but in general, we’re talking about race cars of roughly 750, 1,100 and 1,500 cc displacements made in Italy from the late 1930s to the early ’50s. Etceterinis are usually small in size with a high degree of craftsmanship in their construction. Sometimes quite attractive, Etceterinis vary a large amount, even within the same model, but almost all Etceterinis are relatively obscure to this day. This Devin-bodied Bandini Etceterini sports car on eBay is a little different than your average Etceterini survivor car, but it’s truly a veteran racer with well documented and fascinating history.
The 750 cc Siluro was successful in hill climbs, road courses and auto-cross type events throughout Italy and the U.S. Early cars such as this 1951 model sported cycle-type fenders front and rear. A dedicated racer, this car was put on the track right out of the gate in 1952 where it was a force to be reckoned with in the SCCA’s small displacement classes. The owner has listed a pretty comprehensive account of the car’s competition history, which I’ll attach below.
By 1957 though, it would have been hard to call this car anything other than an old race car, and presumably, one with plenty of battle scars. So the owner decided to replace the aluminum body with the smallest fiberglass body that Bill Devin’s firm sold. A good deal of the original chassis was also modified at this time, and the owner states that the following parts are still original to the car: lower frame, front and rear suspension, steering wheel and horn assembly, steering column, aluminum seats, Borrani 15 X 2.75 64-spoke wire wheels, front and rear brake drums, Bandini-modified Fiat 500 transmission, Fiat 500 rear end and drive shaft, fuel filler cap, Bandini emblem and rear script, nose, grill and the tail.
Original Etceterinis are becoming more popular, leaving us to wonder what will become of this car. It’s likely worth more to your average collector as a 750 Siluro restored with the leftover parts from the original body, but it seems to us like you’d be throwing away this car’s uniquely American history.
See the Devin-bodied Bandini here on eBay.
The car's verified history is as follows: This is one of the first 4 Siluro (torpedo) cycle fender bodied Bandinis by Rocco Motto. The first owner Chuck Hassan raced her at Vero Beach in March 1952 and won the index in the 6 hour. Next up was 1952 Sebring where it was leading its class after 4 hours when the transmission let go so a DNF. More races followed and after 6 total races it ended up 24th in the 1952 SCCA national overall point standings. In 1953 it was sold to James Riley who painted it green and raced 3 times. Mr. Riley advertised it for sale in the July 31,1953 SCCA Sports Car Magazine for $2995. Subsequently it was sold to Sandy MacArthur who raced the car 16 times (at least) and finished 7th in the Nation in the Hmod class in 1954. His exploits in it are well recorded and the most notable perhaps was at 1955 Sebring where the Mercury Outboard factory fitted it with one of their sports car racing engines, sadly it was a DNF that day. MacArthur raced it till the end of the 1955 season and then sold it to his friend and mechanic Clair Reuter. The car was pictured in the following magazines: Auto Speed And Sport June 1952, Auto Sport Revue June 1952, Road And Track November 1952, Auto Speed And Sport November 1952, Car Life June 1955, Sports Cars Illustrated July 1955, SCCA Sports Car Magazine Sandy MacArthur article Jan/Feb 1956. Clair Reuter raced the car once in 1956 and then decided to replace the old green aluminum body with a new smallest sized Devin Fiberglass Monza body, styled after a Scaglietti bodied Ermini, at the end of 1957. In 1959 Reuter's friend Earl Carlson towed it using his Bosley GT MK 1 (currently housed in the Petersen Museum) to the drivers school and race at Meadowdale Illinois which is the last known race it took part in. Reuter then set up it up for street use with turn signals etc. and used it as a nice day driver up till the mid 1960's, then parked it in his dry garage. About 6 months after purchasing the car we found some of the original body parts including the nose (with 89 painted on it), the tail and a hood. Around this same time we discovered a letter Sandy MacArthur wrote to Jack Reuter in the 1980's which described the entire history of the car. |

Alana it, and began volunteering with LIFT at the end of October 2022. However, she and the LIFT team knew she was destined for a permanent position with our program, and she officially joined the team this month.
“I’ve been following LIFT for years, and I’ve always told Bekah I’d love to be a part of it. She asked me to come on as a volunteer, and I ended up falling in love with it and working here! So far, it is the best job I’ve ever had!” - Alana Slanec, Northport Program Coordinator
We are so excited to welcome her to our team and community, and if you see her during programming or out and about, be sure to say hi! For more staff information, you can read our blog post here.
Programming at Northport in the 2023-2024 School Year
Now that we have a full-time position filled for our Northport Program, we are overjoyprogramming into the next phase of our five-year plan (five schools in five years) and LIFT's Programming for Northport Schools will officially begin in Fall 2023.
Since 2017, we have been working with the students at Suttons Bay Schools to establish our pall who join, and it's time to grow our reach. Throughout the 2023-2024 school year, Northport Schools will have access to full-time LIFT Middle School Programming and events for High School Students. Although all programming will be happening in tangent with Suttons Bay, each school has its program coordinator dedicated to working with teens from that school.

“We are Leelanau Investing for Teens. We are excited to expand our reach and grow our mission throughout Leelanau County with this new development of our programming!” - Audrey Sharp, Associate Director
If you're curious about programming, you follow our social media here. We constantly post epic activities in which our teens have the opportunity to take part.
Leadership Classes at Leland
As we expand throughout Leelanau County, we plan to expand LIFT Programming to Leland Schools in the 2024-2025 school year. This upcoming year we will begin outreach and relationship-building to learn what teens and their families in Leland most need from our program.
Our Founder and Executive Director, Rebekah TenBrink, will lead a Photovoice project with the students at Leland High School starting this semester. Photovoice is a way for youth to explore topics affecting them today through photography and essays. She will be focusing on the theme 'of hope.' Bekah will be at Leland High Schoolgetting to know Leland teens, talking about leadership and social change, and leading a local Photovoice Project.
Our goal with this project is to sustain relationships throughout the community and continue investing in the success of the community's youth. To take part in this initiative, sign up to volunteer.
Purchasing Two New Vehicles
Accessibility is the number one barrier when it comes to students being able to attend after-school programming in rural settings (like Leelanau County). As our goal is to ensure that 100% of students who wish to participate in our programming can, it is one of our highest priorities to have reliable transportation for our teens.
LIFT is already available to any student at no cost to them, and we want to continue the accessibility trend by making sure we meet each student where they are so that we can accommodate and accept everyone.
“We take the lack of transportation incredibly seriously here at LIFT. The lack of having a reliable vehicle for our students has been an obstacle we are constantly trying to overcome, and we treat this as a top priority.” - Audrey Sharp, Associate Director
As part of our accessibility outreach, we have secured the funding for one bus from 100 Women Who Care in Traverse City, and we are so grateful for their support of our programming and our students.
To help ensure that no student is left behind, you can support this part of our mission here.
Last year, the Summer of 2022, was our first year offering an option for teens to take part in Summer Programming, and it's safe to say that it was a huge success. We had the opportunity to take teens on adventures, show them new hobbies, teach them new skills, and watch them learn and grow in the few short months of the summer.
This year, we plan to do the same. We will have 2-3 activities per week that are available for Suttons Bay, Northport, and Leland students. We know that for some students, summer is a time for vacations, friends, and summer jobs, but for some, it is not. For some students, it's a time of isolation, academic backsliding, and challenging households. Our mission is to offer a safe place for all teens to come together and enjoy summertime in Northern Michigan.
Our motivation behind this part of our programming is to provide students withWe want them to get outside as much as possible, frequent local businesses, and experience new things. LIFT makes it cost-free for our students and provides transportation to homes or a central location. We are announcing the summer schedule as early as May, so stay tuned!We're so proud of all that LIFT has accomplisheWith your help, we know that anything is possible. So join us today and become part of something extraordinary. Thank you for your support!
