Studies on the Natural Products of Soft Coral Sinularia grandilobata
Investigation on the chemical constituents of EtOH extract of the Formosan soft coral Sinularia grandilobata, collected off the Kenting coast, has led to the isolation of six cembrane-type diterpenoids, grandilobatins A-F (1-6), and four steroids, sinugrandisterols A-D (7-10). All metabolites 1-10 are new natural products. The structures of 1-10 were elucidated by the analysis of spectroscopic data (MS, IR, 1D and 2D NMR) and by comparison of the related spectral data with those of related metabolites in literatures.
The cytotoxicity assays of compounds 1-10 against the growth of cell lines, including MDA-MB-231(human breast cancer cell), MCF 7 (human breast cancer cell), Hep G2 (human liver carcinoma), and A-549 (human lung carcinoma), were carried out. The result showed that compound 5 exhibited moderate cytotoxicity against MDA-MB-231 cells. Compounds 7 and 8 showed moderate cytotoxicity against Hep G2 and MDA-MB-231 tumor cells and exhibited weak cytotoxicity against A-549 and MCF 7 tumor cells. Compound 9 showed weak cytotoxicity against A-549 and MCF 7 tumor cells.

Now imagine being on the ground, face down and feeling a comforting touch...
Suddenly, a hand touched me, which made me tremble on my knees and on the palms of my hands. And he said to me, "O Daniel, man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for I have now been sent to you." While he was speaking this word to me, I stood trembling. (Dan 10:10-11 NKJV)
This touch occurred to Daniel three different times in the chapter. After hearing words from the "angel" in v12-14, Daniel again turned his face to the ground, speechless. The vision had overwhelmed him and no strength was left in him. This time, "suddenly, one having the likeness of the sons of men" touched his lips, allowing Daniel to speak. (v16). Daniel spoke but ran out of steam again and for the third time, God (in the form of angel or preincarnate Christ - you decide) touched and strengthened him.
Then again, the one having the likeness of a man touched me and strengthened me. And he said,"O man greatly beloved, fear not! Peace be to you; be strong, yes, be strong! (Dan 10:18-19 NKJV)
Admittedly, Daniel was strengthened after this exhortation! Wouldn't you be, if Jesus Himself told you to get up and face life? Did you know that Jesus tells us personally to keep pressing on all of the time in His Word? I find that so awesome how he personally speaks to me. I pray that He speaks to you too, all who are weary and void of strength:
Isaiah 40:28-31 28Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. 29He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. 30Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 31But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. (NKJV)

Eating foods high to high in protein and carbohydrates can help you lose weight and prevent osteopurosis, according to a new study.
Researchers at the Mayo Clinic found that eating high-protein, high-carbohydrate foods with zinc, a mineral found in bones and teeth, increased the risk of osteoporsis and osteoplasties.
This study was published online by the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
The Mayo researchers found that men with an osteopontic disease, such as osteoporos, had the highest rates of fractures, but women with osteopoiesis, a type of osteoarthritis, had slightly lower rates of fracture.
The researchers also found that women with an autoimmune disorder, such with Hashimoto’s, had a higher rate of osteomalacia, the development of fractures.
They also found a significant correlation between eating a high-ZO content of foods and osteomalacism.
“Osteoporotic fractures are associated with a higher dietary zinc intake,” the Mayo researchers wrote in the study.
“High-ZOC foods may reduce the risk and/or decrease the severity of the fracture.”
A high-potassium diet, on the other hand, is not linked to an increased risk of fracture, the Mayo study found.
The study did not find any association between eating high ZO content and heart disease.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has guidelines that recommend that people limit their intake of saturated fat, saturated fat-rich vegetable oils and processed meat, and consume plenty of fruits and vegetables.

In 1620, a group of men and women landed in Plymouth, Massachusetts after escaping religious persecution in Europe. One hundred sixty-seven years later, religious liberty was enshrined in our country’s founding document. So essential was this belief that the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution maintains, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…” Indeed, religious liberty is “Our First, Most Cherished Liberty.” Our Faith tells us in the illuminating Vatican II document, Dignitatis Humanae, that the right to religious freedom “has its foundation in the very dignity of the human person.”
Today the Church and all people of faith face threats from a multitude of state and federal laws that infringe on the abilities of individuals and religious institutions to live and operate in accordance with their religious and moral convictions. There’s the woefully misguided HHS contraceptive mandate – slated to come into effect in a mere six weeks— same-sex “marriage” laws that restrict the ability of religious charities to provide adoption and foster-care services, and laws that infringe on the ability of the Church to care for immigrants, among other threats.
So dire is the situation that the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has called for a second Fortnight for Freedom June 21- July 4, a two-week period of prayer and action to address the current threats to religious liberty in the United States, and ask for participation by all parishes throughout the land. The Fortnight begins with an opening Mass on June 21, the vigil of the feast of Sts. John Fisher and Thomas More – two English martyrs of the Faith – at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Baltimore, with Archbishop William Lori presiding. It ends with a Mass on July 4th at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, DC celebrated by Cardinal Donald Wuerl.
In Virginia, Bishop Francis X. DiLorenzo of Richmond will celebrate Mass to observe the Fortnight for Freedom on Sunday, June 23 at 9 AM at the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart in Richmond. Bishop Paul S. Loverde will host an interreligious prayer service on Thursday, June 27 at 7:30 PM at the Cathedral of St. Thomas More in Arlington. Both Bishop Loverde and Bishop DiLorenzo have encouraged the faithful to participate in observing the Fortnight.
We invite you to use the Fortnight for Freedom to pray for religious liberty at home and abroad, in order that our “First, Most Cherished Liberty” might be respected and protected in law!

I wrote this the day after the Connecticut incident and although it’s my intention to imbue my life with the lens of the nurtured heart approach – because it’s simple and doable and most often gives me the lift I’m needing – I wasn’t able to get there. Thinking about this tragedy led me down so many garden paths over the last few days, so many rabbit holes and nightmares. And so I keep trying to find my way back to this approach which I am choosing wholeheartedly to follow. I’m a deep thinker/verging on that line of mental illness sometimes.
Learn by Doing…
I’d say I’m on just on the brink of the bell curve where most people wouldn’t know I had any problem with my mind. I know everyone has one, some say it’s actually ONE MIND we are accessing and I can’t see any other way it could be, and THIS part of THAT mind seems to go into the dark chaotic spots and get stuck. NHA helps me move on out when I’m ready. And sometimes being in those spots brings me greater wisdom, sometimes not. It has brought me compassion though for others struggling with mental illness. And for this I’m grateful because nothing’s worse than being in that dark place and not seeing any of those invisible hands reaching in.
What I came to is greater belief in our interconnectedness, and a less tentative faith in my higher power who sees the whole picture in some way that I don’t and can’t. Love is present here. I know I exist. I know I love you. You (my sister) who I probably know because very few people are ever gonna read this. I know that in the moments that follow this typing “I” will be in many other places in this mind. But for right NOW, here I am knowing that I exist, that Love is the glue of our connection. Ultimately.
When I was growing up – let’s say from ages 10 to 31 - the benchmark of all tragedy was the Holocaust. This is how you knew what terrible was and everything else was just less terrible. It was also how you knew that God was a construct of lesser minds. Minds that didn’t really get the magnitude of how terrible life could be – and if life could be this terrible – if men could have really sent other men plus other’s men’s women and children to a gas chamber to die – then clearly God was a construct of a lesser mind. In my growing up mind therefore, the real adults, the non-believers, had some secrets with which to replace the God idea, since clearly, even to my mind, there had to be some explanation for 1) why terrible things happen 2) why we are hurtling through space on a relatively tiny ball 3) why I still craved falling in love.
Today I believe in God and I have only few clues for what that means. But I cling to them and the clues seem to expand. When one of my brothers’ died of Aids in 1991, and when so many of another of my brother’s friends were dying of the same disease I had a conversation about God with an artist friend of mine. She was a twin and the Jewish Australian child of Holocaust survivors. When I told her that my brother’s death left such a mark on me that I had a religious experience and now believed in God, something still very unpopular in my circle in those years, she brought up the Holocaust as her reason for not believing in such an idea as God. Why would God take all these men from us (our beloved Aids victims), she asked after we had already discussed her parent’s experiences?
I came up with my reason. “Well maybe those 13 million murdered souls are like the richest compost; without them the soil WE need for our growth would be impossible.” She glared at me. “What about your brother then?!” “Is he compost too? “ I didn’t know. I said, “Well, maybe some of those Aids victims were Nazi death camp guards and Aids is just part of a karmic debt they are paying.”
She was my art teacher so we went back to our canvasses quietly. I had just lost my brother, probably just days before, and she wasn’t going to argue with me. And my mind then as now is not known for linear thinking.
Our family lost a second brother a few years ago to suicide. He suffered from depression on and off in his life, and other delusional states of mind (like constant regret for a past that never was altering with a harping for an unlikely future). He was a successful biologist too; he owned his own home, and he managed to meet two wonderful women eventually and know love with both of them. He was generous with my niece and nephew and later with my two children.
And he kept a gun around.
I think it helped him to know that if he got really depressed, he’d have an out.
When I went to clean out his house I found a business card from the gun shop, it was old and torn, on the top shelf of his closet. I remembered two long ago conversations when I found it – one was about the gun. He told me he had it and that he kept it on his top shelf. He was a very liberal guy politically and his thinking sometimes led to strange places. He was keeping the gun to protect himself from right wingers and their crazy policies. These conversations usually took place over the phone and there was little use in arguing, as he was better at it than me.
The second conversation I recalled was his telling me that he had actually tried suicide once before. He lived in Florida and was depressed about a foot injury that dogged him with chronic pain. He went as far as rigging up his car so that it would fill with carbon monoxide before he changed his mind. I remember hugging him after he told me the story and that we both said how glad we were that he was still alive. So I must have been with him in person and not on the phone. Such is my memory loss.
Sorry dear reader, dear self, for putting us through all those memories. I’m commiserating really. These are tales of my sufferings. And when something or other wakes me up at night, either a memory of my own loss, worries, miseries or doubts of some kind, or when some kind of tragedy strikes, like yesterday’s Connecticut school mass murder, the mind gets going in these directions and so far there is a desire to meet itself right here.
And then intention is required. Vigilance to the trajectory of God and God’s Goodness and God’s Greatness. I don’t know how we are linked in the mind of God, except that we are all linked. This I know - as a matter of logic – if you don’t draw the line at skin – we are all connected molecule to molecule. And as a matter of faith – it’s just something I know since my first brother died and I experienced the most exquisite agony watching him go…
My heart fills up with a constriction, a heaviness of grief. And love. It’s almost unbearable to think of all the love the parents, the brothers and sisters, the families, of those small children and their brave adult teachers, are feeling right now. It is their hearts breaking open that is also breaking ours. I know there is a lot of anger coming.
And I think of the desperation of the young man, and no doubt his family who lived with him for twenty years, that led him to beyond his brink, and I think of my brother who often told me he wanted to shoot the surgeon who operated on his foot that gave him so much pain for so many years.
In a little while I’m getting out of my comfortable bed where I am writing...but first I check my email
The last visit with a lively nun was the best. She gave me great advice and also affirmation of some questions. For some reason it sunk in, at least for yesterday, and at work several little miracles occurred, easily; helping me see I'm actually in a very cool position of potential.
Up early to see sunrise from a waterside walk, and then go to yoga where Angela Davis attends, along with my astute, dear friend Sheeted.
But now my twinkly colored Christmas lights bathe the toasty cottage with beautiful, hopeful light.
Yes, so sad of the violence in Connecticut, and elsewhere. You know “Jesus loves the children of the world... whether yellow black or white, they are one in Jesus' sight.. Jesus loves the little children of the world.”
My friend “A” is a nurse at San Quentin. I recently feared for her life when she called to tell me she wanted to join her brother, who like mine had recently taken his own life. She could think of no reason not to, including her daughter who didn't seem to care for her despite those years of selfless parenting we parents imagine we are devoting ourselves to, and including our friendship much less.
Here she tells me that she made it to church and she got some needed help. I'm glad of course.
I think about San Quentin, that place of horrors (and miracles too as she tells me) where so many other lives have been influenced (and often destroyed) by our culture’s fascination with guns….and I wonder how many of us in our country yesterday, with this awful news, have not been able to take a moment to grieve in a comfortable bed…because the abundance of guns, their availability…has already touched them to their cores and left an open wound to painful to poke at.
So – HELP! Are you on the way really?
It is a simple prayer of the truest kind.
The one that has no answers for our specific problems which are of our own making.
Certainly the solution will not be found in going over all these maddening details of my family history, and yet I spoke them again.
I reached down as deep as I could go to maybe join those grieving hearts and I’m reaching out my cosmic hand and saying please hold on, please know that you are not alone in your grief or shock.
I’m not sure I’ve arrived at my nurtured heart approach.
I don’t think so sister.
Aye yai yai Erica. You are a whack job. Albeit an intermittently grateful kind of whack job.
Later in this day I learned that a family friend who just had an adorable little baby is in the hospital – suffering from a bi-polar episode. I went to visit her and told her my story (a little bit of it anyway)….I nurtured her. I saw her Greatness and nothing else. I told her I did not entertain the darkness anymore. I told her I was learning to be and loving being Strong in my Resolve to stay connected. I demonstrated what I meant by reaching out my right hand to one imaginary pole and the left hand to another imaginary pole and told her that with these two poles clarity comes…She listened.
She told me that she was triggered by thoughts of her baby being unsafe. This idea really scared her. So much so that when my daughter called me from the movie theater where I was due to meet her, my friend's whole demeanor changed from fairly calm to the verge of panic. "Are your babies alright?" Yes they were. My 11 and 13 year old were just fine though pissed cause it looked like I might be late so I needed to go. I left her wide-eyed and in me was some fear that maybe her mental illness was like way worse than mine ever came close to being...and maybe I've just been making all this shit up about myself.
I called her yesterday and she said I helped her a lot. She sounded for real. Today she comes home to be reunited with her baby, teenage son, and gentle husband. I don't think anyone told her about Connecticut. But it occurs to me that like those animals who knows when earthquakes are coming, my friend had some kind of mind-bending premonition about the safety of all our babies.
So I stick to this approach. I have to now. I return to my breath to our Love and Connection, knowing that all those who have gone before us, are in a really good place with nothing but love for us and for each other. Why would I want to think any differently than that?

Under the inspired leadership of Director Ron Smith, the Jewish Relations Committee for the LDS Church in Southern California has sponsored a booth at the Israel Festival in Los Angeles for the second time. Thousands of people attended today’s event, and many stopped by our booth to say hello and to thank us for being there. We handed out 250 Mormon Tabernacle Choir CDs (Broadway tunes), along with information on the history of LDS-Jewish ties and BYU’s Jerusalem Center for Near Eastern Studies. With New York’s Salute to Israel Parade and Chicago’s Jewish festival coming up in June, it would be great if Mormons could man booths at those celebrations as well.
This was my Romanian wife’s first Jewish festival and third Jewish event in LA. She was blown away by the energy and organization on display, along with the length of the food lines. For Mormons this was a chance to celebrate the achievements of our fellow Israelites, and it was a beautiful thing for us to see so many people spending their Sunday afternoon in a massive show of support for Israel and the Jewish people.
The LDS community does many things right, but our organized community of lay volunteers would have a hard time matching the output of the organized Jewish community, which is staffed by dedicated (and well-compensated) professionals. That said, I am proud to belong to a church with both a long history of philosemitism and a Jewish Relations Committee in this region. Judging from the comments made by visitors to our booth, more Jews are becoming aware of our bridge-building efforts. It is my hope that these interactions will lead to greater understanding and cooperation between our communities in the future. Am Israel Chai!

The Inter-island ferry "Christena" that sank off St. Kitts in five minutes on Saturday (August?
The Inter-island ferry "Christena" that sank off St. Kitts in five minutes on Saturday (August I) with an estimated total of at least 125 dead, was packed 50% beyond capacity, a Government spokesman said on Sunday (August 2).
Survivors said the two decks of the Government-owned Ferry, were crowded with people as it sailed between St. Kitts and Nevis. Those on deck were spilled into the shark-infested waters, but many below decks went down in 22 fathoms of water entombed in the boat's steel superstructure. A total of 94 people have been reported safe but according to Edrade Warwyn, Nevis' harbour master and chief revenue officer, there were more than 250 people aboard the 75 foot (23 metres) launch. A Government spokesman said they believe the capsizing was caused by uneven distribution of passengers but there would be a full Government inquiry.
Premier Rober Brashaw of St. Kitts/Nevis declared a day of national mourning.
Arrangements were made to bury some of the victims in a mass grave. Huge crowds of people from both islands gathered at Charlestown's Alexandra Hospital to hear if their relatives or friends were among the rescued.
A survivor of the disaster spoke of the last moments:


Two close friends who are members of the Inkplots, our local writing group, and fellow bloggers for Writers Who Kill, are celebrating terrific achievements.
Carla Damron, dedicated social worker and author of the Caleb Knowles mystery series, recently had her literary novel, The Stone Necklace, accepted for publication by USC Press Story River Books imprint, with editor-at-large Pat Conroy.
Sam Morton, whose adult novel Disavowed and young adult series are published by Echelon Press, attended Writer's Digest PitchFest and received SIX agent requests for his latest manuscript.
Both of these writers have worked diligently and deserve every success. Many congratulations!

Recently, I spent one evening and night with my son and his family, following an Endoscopy. My Daughter-in-Law drove me home. My son and his wife are around forty - with two children, a girl seventeen and a boy twelve - they are wonderfully sweet, intelligent and kind - all four of them. They live in a more conservative suburb of Tampa - and the children attend public schools (the younger child recently was moved to virtual school as he refused to attend his public school. He is artistic and I consider him to be an Indigo Child - google that if you are interested). My granddaughter is a superb student (Senior), highest grades, socially popular, smart and kind and loving - and wonderfully humble and sympathetic/empathetic to those in need. She is remarkable.
The children have always been respected and deeply loved by their parents - and vice versa. I am so proud of how they were raised. Sometimes there is friction. Sometimes there is a major crisis (intra-familial), but family members are loving and caring and it is always worked out.
I am the son of and FDR/JFK/LBJ Feminist mother and a Steelworker/Farmer father who both taught me about the social contract and the solidarity of workers and families and the US middle class/working classes, as well as the love and support society must provide to the most helpless among us.
I have been aware that the area where they live and attend school has a history of racism and racial inequality. This is Florida. When the children were younger - they and I never discussed socil issues - we discussed TV shows, artistic and school issues, how to get along at school and at the mall, as well as many mundane things. That changed recently.
Now, race relations, income inequality, Democrats v. Republicans, government dysfunction, President Obama, Student Loans, Socialism, Capitalism, etc., etc. are things they both want to talk about. They know I am a Liberal. They know I am gay and that my life has been complex - Military career, civilian career in social services, teaching years, some major personal crises, two steps forward - one step back life, etc.
I have been avoiding some of this discussion because I know that their social environment/school environment = a conservative context that makes me uncomfortable. I have little patience for racism, homophobia, xenophobia, classism and misogynism. In fact, I detest all of them.
So, when their parents were out, the children's tradition of sitting on the kitchen countertops and talking with Papa soon began. I learned things were worse than I had imagined. Racism has crept into their lives like a cancerous infection. They said to me that while they would never use the term "Colored" in public, they think that is perfectly acceptable at home. I, of course, said - "Why would you need to do that?" They parroted racist statements about food stamps and welfare and brought up the sick right wing argument that since there is a BET - there should be a Whites only network. I dould not believe they said that. I told them all commercials, all network shows, all of US culture is mostly white and blonde and one dimensional - that there already is and has been a white channel(s) - hundreds of mostly white media.
They have learned from the suburban southern (Florida) environment of people and teachers and peers, parents and careless assholes all around them, that it is ok to stereotype and judge those who are different. They feel they are being pc not to use the N word. To be honest, I finally said to the parents and the children that I was trained in the military to never use words like "colored" and and that the word "colored" offended me and I don't want them to say it in my presence. They agreed.
The US has a very long way to go, in this regard. I felt so sad driving home from my son's house yesterday. They are a loving and kind and very intelligent family. Mostly, they know how to accept others, not to judge based on prejudices and not to stereotype. I have great hope that they are not entrenched in this abominable world of white suburban Florida racism.

(Feb. 14, 2014) With federal flood re-mapping under way, property owners at the extreme north end of the city’s beach have found they won’t be getting quite the break the rest of the resort has gotten.
While most of the resort’s coastline has been taken out of a flood zone on the latest map revisions from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the area from 146th to 144th Streets is still in a risk area, albeit a lower-grade one than before.
“We’re trying to find out why we are [classified] like Delaware instead of like the rest of Ocean City,” said Mac Balkcom, a unit owner at the Ocean Place Condo on 146th Street, at Monday’s council meeting.
“The latest from FEMA is that the dunes in front of our building and for two blocks down are not quite as good as the dunes further south,” Balkcom said. “I’m here to ask for any assistance from the city you can give.”
The short answer to the plight of Balkcom and his neighbors is that the dune adjacent to the Delaware line is, in fact, simply not as strong as it is elsewhere in the resort, despite efforts to bolster it.
“It’s what we call a ‘hot spot,’” City Engineer Terry McGean said Tuesday. “It erodes faster than other areas of beach. After Sandy, we had damage to the dunes, and that was definitely one of them.”
Federal contractors from the Army Corps of Engineers are currently working from the north end of town south, pushing sand from the beach back into the dunes. Dredging – using barges that will suck up sand from the ocean floor and deposit it on the beach to a specified breadth – is scheduled to begin Feb. 25, McGean said, and last through April 1, weather permitting.
Other hot spots include 33rd Street and the area from 75th to 85th Streets, McGean said. But the north end is the most difficult to deal with, given that it abuts the Delaware line, and is thus a sort of seam between Ocean City’s dune and Delaware’s less-ambitious beach project.
When FEMA revealed its new flood risk maps several months ago, it was discovered that most of Ocean City’s oceanfront had been de-classified from its previous designation as a “V” zone, indicating risk of flooding as well as high-velocity impact during storms.
This was what the city was hoping for, in part, given that the town had lobbied to have FEMA take the city’s man-made dunes and beaches into account as defense against seaborne storm damage.
But much to the town’s surprise, FEMA did not downgrade the “V” zone to an “A” zone, which indicates flood risk but not velocity, as expected.
Instead, most of Ocean City is now an “X” zone, where properties will not be required to have flood insurance under the National Flood Insurance Program. Only some low-lying areas in the center of town, as well as downtown bayside areas, are still in an “A” zone requiring insurance, as is the two uptown ocean blocks.
The assumption has been that FEMA’s widespread de-classifications are an attempt to get the federal government out of the flood insurance business. Subsidized policies through the NFIP ran a deficit of over $24 billion as of the end of the last fiscal year.
If property owners in “X” areas are not required to get NFIP coverage, then they likely won’t – an option Balkcom and his neighbors would also like to enjoy.
Still, the reduction from “V” to “A” risk levels entails a significantly lesser NFIP premium.
“You did get downgraded, so your insurance will be less than it was,” Mayor Rick Meehan said Monday. “We will certainly do whatever we can to that dune [at 146th Street], but I think it’s something much more than that.”
The city has been giving the north end of the dune line extra attention – but that doesn’t trump the fact that FEMA’s model still indicates the north end is at a higher risk.
“The stock answer that’s going to come back from the federal government – what they’ve always said – is ‘here are our updated maps, and the data behind it,’” said city Planning Director Matt Margotta. “If you have a problem with it, you need to be able to prove it with the same data. You can’t just not like it.”
Due to the level of confusion on the issue, Margotta said he is looking to host a meeting for resort property owners in which the city can help interpret some of FEMA’s findings.
“I’m trying to coordinate a local meeting here that we can host or even be the main facilitators for,” Margotta said. “I’m coordinating with MEMA [the Maryland Emergency Management Agency] and FEMA to see if we can get some actual data. That’ll likely be mid-March.”
The obvious explanation for why FEMA’s data indicates a weaker structure on the north end is that sand does not stick together.
“There’s an inherent issue when piling up sand, which is that it starts to spread out,” said Councilman Joe Mitrecic.
When there is a more substantial buttress on either side, the sand holds in place, but ends of dune will dissipate. Given that Delaware’s dunes are lower, and its beach less broad than Ocean City’s, flooding on the Delaware ocean front would then begin to erode the city’s dune starting at the north end.
“From a common-sense point of view, that may be as big a problem as anything,” Mitrecic told Balkcom.
Because of this, the north end of town actually receives more attention than the rest.
“Typically, the ends of any replenishment project will experience a higher erosion rate, so for that reason our project actually extends into Delaware,” McGean said. “Now that Delaware has extended their project that far south, they actually extend into our area, so in reality that area gets re-nourished by two districts.”
The area just south of the Delaware line, McGean noted, is slated for a berm width of 80 feet once dredging begins. This is the width of the beach from the eastern toe of the dune to the point where the sand begins to taper into the ocean. The only areas with a larger berm are downtown where the dune stops and the seawall protects the Boardwalk, McGean said.
“They are getting the largest berm we’re putting in this year,” he said. “Even if we went up there and artificially made the dune itself larger, it’s highly unlikely that FEMA would recognize that as a natural, stable dune.”
Further, McGean noted, the north end of town experiences a reversed littoral drift. On the East Coast, currents typically move north-to-south, taking sand with them. But at points where seawater flows inland, the drift is pulled toward the inlet from both directions.
At a given point to the south of the inlet, there will be a break where sand is flowing north toward the inlet but not being replaced by sand flowing up from the south.
“Surprisingly, one of the big factors in erosion for the north end of town is the Indian River Inlet,” McGean said. “It’s the same reason that Assateague has erosion problems because of our inlet.”
McGean also noted that the city is encouraging property owners to maintain their flood insurance, even if they have been down-graded to an “X” zone.
“I would caution anyone that just because, under these maps, they are not in a ‘hundred-year flood zone,’ does not mean they will never have flood damage,” McGean said.
“[The maps] are purely based on risk data. They’re not a building code. All they are is a classification.”

How To Make Your Own Digital Map
Fortunately there are several free tools out today that allow you to store your own created maps. The best by a large margin is Google, who has put an amazing amount of effort into their mapping business since 2005. Anyone who recalls the Mapquest days can attest to this.
Google offers a feature called My Maps. My Maps allows you to easily create your own maps with pins, or routes, or even areas. You’ll need a Google Account in order to use this.
From there it is pretty simple. You can search for addresses or businesses or if you know the exact latitude and longitude, that’s available as well.
You can choose from different map views such as street view or aerial imagery. You can put your pins into different sets, add hyperlinks, or other information. You can even select different markers.
Google allows you to share maps privately or publicly. If you share them publicly you can embed them on a website. Like so:
Once you’ve saved your map, it’s saved in THE CLOUD (Google Drive). But if you want to take things a bit further, there are more options. You can export your map, print it, or save it to a PDF.
The export feature allows you to save your map in a KML format, which stands for Keyhole Markup Language. KML is based on XML, and has become a standard for displaying location-based information on a map along with GPX (which we’ll get to in Part Three). As of right now, KML is a fairly reliable way of storing your location data to import into other programs, such as Google Earth, where you have more options to manipulate your data.
Unfortunately Google doesn’t currently allow you to edit My Maps on iOS, but they can be viewed in the Google Maps app on iOS. This is unfortunate as you’re most likely going to have your phone on you when you want to record your location. Android users are a little more fortunate. You can, however, send yourself a link of where you are, and add it once you get to a computer. Hopefully they fix this in the future.
There are other ways of recording your locations on your phone without ever touching a computer. My suggestions for this are:
* Day One: A journaling app for iOS and Mac OS that allows you to record your location and more.
* Gaia GPS: A more advanced GPS app for your phone that allows you to store maps on your phone without a cellular signal, and record hikes or runs and export them a number of ways.
Now with this general information you can start building your own digital map. In Part Two, I’ll go over some social media apps like Foursquare/Swarm and Flickr, and show you how you can use them to add to your lifelong digital map, which will be a bit more advanced with xml data types. So if you want to go more in depth, stay tuned.
- Before Google Earth was Google Earth, it was Keyhole. Surprisingly the founder and CEO of Keyhole is the founder and CEO of Niantic, the creators of the new popular app Pokémon Go. ↩

Storytree celebrated International Literacy Day at Sophia School, Old Airport Road, Bangalore with Takloo. This story was sent by Nandini Basu.
Session conducted on : 6th September
Number of kids : 124
Number of sessions : 1
Language the session was conducted in : English
The primary students of Sophia School gathered on the terrace of the school building to hear the story about a smart little boy. They were eager to know who was this boy and what was his name. Just then, popped out Takloo from my bag. A Takloo made out of egg shell.
As I told them about the beautiful trees in Takloo's village, several of them described the different kinds of trees that they had seen in their villages. We also looked around for the trees visible from the terrace and tried naming a few. There were squirrels sprinting from one tree to another but difficult to capture in lens. The kids thoroughly enjoyed the illustrations.
I stopped telling the story when Takloo's family has a big bagful of salt and don't know what to do. I asked the kids if they had any solution. They came up with good ideas but Takloo emerged the smartest.
When I finished telling the story, one child even said that next time he visited his village, he would read out the Takloo story to the elders sitting under the tamarind tree. Another child said, he would teach the non-school going children in his area to read and write. That's the power of a book!
Thank you, Pratham Books, for this initiative.
Thank you Storytree and Nandini for spreading the joy of reading!
In its third edition of the 'One Day - One Story' campaign, Pratham Books was joined by 1300+ storytellers who conducted 1500+ storytelling sessions. More than a 1000 steps towards a 'Reading India'!
What started as a small step by Pratham Books to spread the joy of reading has become a movement. In 2012, Pratham Books initiated the One Day-One Story initiative on the occasion of International Literacy Day . We will be sharing the stories of all our volunteer storytellers (Pratham Books Champions) through our blog.

N18,000 Minimum Wage inadequate – Fayose
By; Oladele Adedayo, Ado-Ekiti.
Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayo Fayose has vowed that his government will not slash the minimum wage it is paying its workforce despite the financial challenges the state is battling with.
Giving the assurance weekend when he embarked on sensitisation tour of Irepodun/Ifelodun and Ekiti South-West Local Government Areas of the state, Governor Fayose, said the current minimum wage of N18,000 was grossly inadequate and that any slash would not augur well for the workers and their dependants.
“I won’t reduce workers’ salaries, the N18,000 minimum wage is even not enough. I will never hold your money one day extra. The shortfall in the bail-out fund will be redressed.
“I am enjoying your grace for returning me to office and I am not going to take the grace for granted. A governor who hides the true position of things from his people is only deceiving himself. The power of the people is greater than that of the leader” he stated.
Fayose said to ensure the smooth payment of salaries, the state government may decentralise the payment system. He said the state government would work out ways that the government and the labour unions would agree on the mode of payment.
The governor also added that a unit would be set up in the Governor’s Office to look into complaints about workers’ welfare.
Workers who contributed, said instead of paying workers in batches, statutory allocations for two months could be merged for all workers to be paid at once.
At Ilawe-Ekiti, following complaints by some workers in the delay in getting their salaries when paid, the governor said a team of experts would be constituted to look at the possibility of decentralising the payment system.
Fayose noted that the need for workers to come to Ado-Ekiti whenever they had complaints about their salaries would be reduced if the system was decentralised.
The governor promised to also look into the welfare of pensioners, saying as soon as the Federal Government releases the remaining of the bail-out funds concerning their issue, they would be paid.
The governor used the occasion to tell the workers the true financial situation of the state, saying statutory allocations had reduced by over 56 per cent in the last one year.

Conservative conspiracy theorists and right-wing provocateurs Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl pleaded guilty to one felony count of telecommunications fraud. The two ran a series of robocalls with false messages targeting Black voters.
The pair hoped to suppress the Black vote in the 2020 general election.
Charges were brought against the pair by the Ohio Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office in October 2020. Wohl and Burkman's Project 1599 placed phone calls to select area codes across the United States targeting areas with large populations of BIPOC and Democrats.
The robocalls shared misinformation about mail-in voting.
Wohl and Burkman robocalled roughly 85,000 voters in Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Ohio in the summer of 2020.
The recording of one call featured a woman saying:
“Mail-in voting sounds great, but did you know that if you vote by mail, your personal information will be part of a public database that will be used by police departments to track down old warrants, and be used by credit card companies to collect outstanding debt?"
"The CDC is even pushing to give preference for mail in voting to track people for mandatory vaccines.”
Calls also warned voters should not be:
“BS’d into giving [their] private information to the man.”
You can hear a recording of one of the calls here:
Example of false information being used to suppress voting in Detroityoutu.be
All claims made in the calls were all false.
Burkman and Wohl were initially charged with eight counts of telecommunications fraud and seven counts of bribery. Both defendants pleaded not guilty.
Wohl told CNN in August 2020:
"We’ve never done any robocalls."
"We are categorically uninvolved."
The pair then reached a plea agreement.
According to Cleveland.com, Assistant Cuyahoga County Prosecutor James Gutierrez stated the defendants will pay the maximum fine of $2,500 each. The prosecution dismissed the 14 additional counts against the Wohl and Burkman.
On Tuesday, November 29, 2022, Ohio's Cuyahoga County Common Pleas court sentenced the pair to two years of probation, six months of monitoring with a GPS ankle bracelet, $2,500 each in fines and 500 hours of registering voters in Washington, D.C.
Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost issued the following statement:
"Voter intimidation won’t be tolerated in Ohio."
"My Robocall Enforcement Unit, along with BCI, assisted in the investigation and was able to partner with Prosecutor O’Malley to shut down these two people who were trying to commit voter intimidation.”
Not everyone agreed the punishment fit the crime.
A lawsuit was also filed against the pair by the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation in October 2020.
In addition to Ohio, prosecutors in Michigan, Illinois and Pennsylvania investigated the calls.
The New York Attorney General’s Office sought a fine of $2.75 million. The Federal Communications Commission suggested a fine of over $5.1 million.

Who could ever resist real-life Danish heartthrob Nikolaj Coster-Waldau or his on-screen Westerosi heartthrob persona Jaime Lannister from HBO’s hit TV show “Game of Thrones”? Apparently, a very charming young lady by the name of Alison Brie.
Best known for her starring role on NBC and later Yahoo sitcom “Community”, as well as a recurring part in AMC period drama series “Mad Men”, she’s never sold on the passion and chemistry shared with his typically irresistible co-star.
The poor Kingslayer, here in possession of a full set of limbs, tries everything he can think of, including humming lustfully to a mood-setting Jeremih song. But he’s still harshly rejected by a fictional love interest who simply isn’t feeling it.
The moral of the story? Erm, that it happens to the best of us? That guys should stick to their main guns, and male actors to their best roles when trying to enchant their counterparts? Not even close.
Instead, the entertaining banter between these two hotties is meant to hype up the Apple TV, billed as “the future of television.” Why is the new fourth-gen digital media player so special? Among others, because it takes hands-free Siri voice commands, and integrates various iServices, like Apple Music.
Unfortunately, it’s slightly pricier than the competition, at $150 and up, and its ecosystem of apps lacks a certain pizazz. As does Nikolaj Coster-Waldau in the eyes of Alison Brie, though we’re pretty sure that wasn’t the point of this commercial. Still, it’s interesting to see famous people endorsing something built by Cupertino that’s not the iPhone 6s or Apple Watch.

Finance Minister Bill Morneau introduced many proposed changes to the Federal Income Tax Regulations. With the current majority in the House of Commons, it is very likely that these proposals will pass into law. Your professional accountant should have advised you of the changes as I am advising my clients.

How to prepare for these new changes?
There are strategies that can be developed in advance of the implementation of the proposed legislation. You should prepare for these as soon as possible so that you might be eligible for a grandfather clause if one is provided. One of my client’s spouse, who started her company with her mate but has stopped working there, has been advised to keep her shares in the company for lower taxed dividends and potential capital gains benefits.
There are some other activities you can undertake to further your income, and that is to review your billings.

Fish curry is a tangy and spicy curry which goes well with white rice, idly or dosa. Idly and fish curry (meen kulambu) is a famous combination in Southern part of India. They serve this combo for breakfast in many restaurants. Fish curry tastes great when it is served the next day because it gets soaked in tamarind and other spices and makes it delicious on the next day of cooking.
I have used Sardines/மத்தி மீன் for this recipe, but you can use any fish like sprats, kingfish, sea bass, sea bream, etc. Usually, fish curry is made with coconut, but this recipe is without coconut paste. Coconut paste gives a different taste to the curry. Some people use coconut milk in the curry, that gives totally different taste from coconut paste. I will share the other 2 recipes soon.
This is the fish we have used in this curry. Name of this fish is Sardines/மத்தி மீன். Sardines are an excellent source of calcium, minerals, protein and lower in mercury compare to other fish. Sardines are great for both curry and fry.
Check out the recipe video here:
Tips to make a good fish curry:
1. Adding tamarind is very important in fish curry. That enhances the entire taste.
2. Fish curry tastes great the next day of cooking.
3. Adding fish curry masala or kulambu masala is optional but it gives good taste to the curry.
4. Gingelly oil gives a very good flavour to the curry so try to use that.
5. If you don’t have shallots, use 2 finely chopped big onions.
Here is a detailed recipe for Sardines Fish Curry:
Take 50 ml oil in a pan/kadai, add 1 tsp mustard seeds and ¼ tsp fenugreek seeds and allow it to crackle.
Note: Adding gingelly oil gives a very good flavour to the curry.
Then add 1 cup shallots and cook for 2 to 4 minutes. Now add 2 tbsp ginger garlic paste and cook till to remove the raw smell.
Note: If you don’t have shallots, use 2 big onions finely chopped.
Then add 2 finely chopped tomatoes and cook until they are mushy.
Add salt and saute well for 2 to 4 minutes.
Then add few curry leaves and 2 green chillies and mix well.
Add 2 tbsp chilli powder, 1 tsp turmeric, 1 tbsp cumin powder, 2 tbsp coriander powder and 1 tbsp fish masala or kulambu powder and mix well the masala. Now add 1 cup of water and cover and cook the masala for 4 to 5 minutes.
Once masala is cooked well, add 1 cup tamarind water and mix and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
Then add fish one by one, add fish once the curry is cooked well because fish cooks fast. Once we add the fish, cook for 5 to 7 minutes (Don’t mix the curry after adding the fishes, fishes will break easily). Then add few more curry leaves (optional) and once oil separates from the gravy, add 2 tbsp coriander leaves.
Serve fish curry with rice, dosa or idly.

FOOD + AGRICULTURE
Growing local food and agriculture opportunity.
Farmers and farmland are at the heart of our rural places, and central to a new era of health and wealth here. Getting local food on our menus, in our schools, and into nearby cities can help us build commerce and community. It’s also part of making sure everyone here eats and lives well.
We work with west central Missouri to discover what’s possible, and make it happen.
FARM TO FORK SUMMIT
This annual gathering of local food and farm interests is where west central Missouri builds the connections, knowledge, and voice needed to secure good food for all and family farms for our rural economies. The inaugural summit January 15, 2019, in Osceola filled a local church gym with farmers, food buyers, health professionals, educators, and more. Participants shared practical tips and tools, offered inspiration, and called for more local food networking and collaboration.
COMMUNITY FOOD SYSTEMS
Good food and all that goes with it — friends, family, nature, and neighbors – is so much more than market transactions. New Growth and partners work to connect, support, and advocate for people and programs that build good food into everyday lives, such as community gardens, fresh food pantries, cooking education, land and water protection, and policies to help make healthy food available and affordable for everyone.
Producing fruits, vegetables, meats, milk, and more for the growing local food sector requires more focused education, training, and resources for farms that are starting or diversifying their operations in it. New Growth and partners collaborate to get those local agricultural entrepreneurs what they need. One example is the Beginning Farmer Wholesale Project for producers in this region and greater Kansas City area.
Making farmers’ markets work in rural areas is a great need and opportunity. New Growth and partners aim to build the number of farmers vending at area markets, shoppers enjoying food and community there, and town centers growing with this asset. One example is the Double Up Food Bucks program that partner West Central Missouri Community Action Agency operates with several area markets. This program gets more dollars to farmers and more fresh food to families by doubling the amount that SNAP, or food stamp, participants can buy.
LOCAL FOOD PURCHASING
New Growth works with farmers, food buyers, and partners to get more local food onto menus at cafeterias and restaurants and on shelves at home and in grocery stores. Farm to school is a primary focus given strong and broad-based interest in getting kids more fresh and scratch-cooked foods. It involves building bridges of information and communication between local buyers and farmers. It requires innovation across the food purchasing spectrum, from menus to distribution.
PROCESSING, AGGREGATION, DISTRIBUTION
Making local food work for buyers and suppliers requires attending to the many stops along the way from farm to fork. They include pooling products for greater volume (aggregation); preparing and packaging local food products (processing); and managing the transportation, refrigeration, tracking, and so much more involved in getting products where they need to go (distribution). Most of this no longer exists, or works, for local food and smaller farms in the predominant global industrial food supply chain. New Growth and partners collaborate with entrepreneurs and others to fill these gaps. One is the Kansas City Food Hub, which sources from west central Missouri and eastern Kansas farmers.

This paper reports industry concentration measures for the South African manufacturing sector over the 1972-1996 period for the three digit industry classification. Noted are high level of industry concentration in South African manufacturing, and a rising trend in concentration across a wide range of industries as measured by the Gini coefficient, though some countervailing evidence emerges on the Rosenbluth index. Analytically the paper examines the impact of concentration on employment and investment rates. Results show that increased concentration unambiguously lowers employment. For investment rates, increased inequality of market share serves to raise investment rates, while falling firm numbers for any given inequality of market share lowers investment rates. The difference is consistent with a disciplining effect of a competitive fringe of firms on the behaviour of large firms in a market.

Houston is certainly no stranger to Hopdoddy Burger Bar’s savory burgers, creative milkshakes, and staggeringly long lines. Eater reported that a new location of the Austin-based chain was headed to Vintage Park, and now, we’ve got an official opening date.
Announced via release, Houston’s newest Hopdoddy location is set to open late next month at 142 Vintage Park Blvd in the Vintage Park Shopping Center. This is the third Houston location for the burger purveyor to open over the past year. Earlier this month, the second Houston Hopdoddy arrived at Rice Village.
This location will share the same menu as the other Hopdoddy locations, serving up the same fancified burgers (like the Magic Shroom, topped with Texas goat cheese, mushrooms and basil pesto) as the chain’s other outposts.
Vintage Park’s Hopdoddy Burger Bar will open the doors April 25th. The restaurant will be open daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.


SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- Sophomore javelin thrower Allison Updike used her first opportunity to represent Azusa Pacific track and field to register the second-best throw in program history to lead the Cougars to a productive day at the Aztec Invitational hosted by San Diego State University Friday.
Updike’s best throw of 152-feet, 3-inches, was just 15 inches shy of the program-record set in 2000 by Vanessa Wilhelm. Even Updike’s shortest of four throws would have registered fourth on the all-time top ten list, as all four of her throws landed between 146-feet and her best of 152-3, and she moved into the top-five of the national NCAA Division II performance list with her season-opening effort.
Junior distance runner Elle Farrar improved her personal-best in her first event of outdoor season, clocking 18:29.41 in the 5,000 meters to improve by over 2.5 seconds on the previous best she registered last month at the National Christian College Athletic Association Indoor Track and Field Championships.
Sophomore Reika Kijima also turned in a personal-best in her event, posting a time of 2:15.25 in the 800 meters to shave nearly half a second off her 800-meter PR. Senior hurdler Jordan Chesley matched her personal-best in the 400-meter hurdles, registering a time of 1:06.36 for the third time in her career after hitting the exact same time in two different meets in April of last year.
The men’s track and field top performances included personal-best efforts from junior hurdler Tanner Henry, sophomore mid-distance runner Ryan Phillips, and junior multi-athlete Justin Young.
Henry posted the ninth-fastest Division II time in the 400-meter hurdles (53.13), improving his PR by nearly four-tenths of a second. Phillips posted a time of 3:55.16 in the 1500 meters, beating his previous-best from last year by four-tenths of a second, and Young threw the discus 140-feet, 7-inches, an improvement of nearly 10 feet on his previous career-best.
Seniors Sameer Sedam and David Schulte got their first long jump marks of the outdoor season under their belts. Sedam had a best leap of 20-feet, 10.75-inches, and Schulte was right behind his teammate with a mark of 20-feet, 9.25-inches. Senior Riley McKee was just four-hundredths of a second away from a PR in the 400 meters, posting a time of 49.43 seconds.

HACIENDA HEIGHTS – A married couple in their 70s and the wife’s mother died today in what was being investigated as a possible murder-suicide at a Hacienda Heights home.
Sheriff’s deputies responded around 9 a.m. to the home in the 15900 block of Ladysmith Street, according to sheriff’s Sgt. Diane Hecht.
Officials told KCAL9 that a 911 call had been placed by a man inside the house claiming there were gunshot victims at the home.
Investigators found the bodies of two women who had been shot inside the home, while a man was found in the backyard with a gunshot wound, according to sheriff’s officials.
The man died on the way to a hospital. Two weapons were recovered in the backyard.
Sheriff’s Capt. Tim Murakami told Channel 9 one of the women was found in a bedroom, and the other was found in a family room.
The dead were a married couple in their 70s and the woman’s mother, who was in her 90s and used a wheelchair, according to KCAL.


Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn has been one of the more successful relaunches in recent memory, and after hearing from the designers, there is much more in store for the game.
At a recent panel titled Letter from the Producer, the designers spent an hour and a half detailing their future plans for the game, including patch details, expansion news, battle system and camera adjustments, and new music.
The big news though is the addition of Directx 11 support for Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn's expansion Heavensward.
As you can see, the differences are noticeable.
In addition, players will find that DirectX 11 will be less resource-intensive for GPUs that support it. In some cases this will also result in an improved frame rate.Better visuals and improved frame rates will certainly be good news to players who have invested in Directx 11 graphics cards and have been waiting to take advantage of them.
Furthermore, with the DirectX 11 version, characters will be rendered with uncompressed textures, making them look even more impressive. The visual quality of objects in the background has also improved, and even the texture of characters’ skin will look more realistic.
The DirectX 11 client will be released at the same time as Heavensward. After the release, players will be able to choose between the DirectX 9 version and the DirectX 11 version. There’s no need to purchase the package again—if the DirectX11 client is downloaded and installed, players will be able to play in DirectX 11 with the UI settings and such exactly as they are now. We plan to add even more features that make use of DirectX 11 in the future.Heavensward is set for release in Spring 2015. You can check out the rest of the post to the full list of features and changes coming and, if your Japanese is solid, the live panel itself.
So what do you think about this announcement? Are you impressed by the DirectX 11 changes? How about the other features coming to FFXIV? Leave us a reply below.

Did you know that…
- 86 percent of a local community agree that an arts education encourages and assisrs in the inprovement of a child’s attitude towards school.
- 79 percent believe that incorperating the arts into education is the first step in adding back what’s missing in public education today.
- 93 percent also think that the arts are vital to providing a well-rounded education for children.
Upon reviewing these statistics, we have concluded that the lack of artistic participation is an issue in our community that needs to be addressed. We believe that DMI Creative can address these issues by working exclusively with youthful minds to increase artistic awareness and its power.

One of the wheels and leaf springs of an automobile, traveling over a rough road, is shown in Fig. For simplicity, all the wheels can be assumed to be identical and the system can be idealized as shown in Fig. The automobile has a mass of m1 = 1000 kg and the leaf springs have a total stiffness of k1 = 400 kN/m. The wheels and axles have a mass of m2 = 300 kg and the tires have a stiffness of k2− 500 kN/m. If the road surface varies sinusoidally with an amplitude of Y = 0.1 m and a period of l = 6 m, find the critical velocities of the automobile.
Find the natural frequencies of the system shown on the right, with m1=m, m2=2m, k1=k, and k2=2k. Determine the response of the system when k=1000 N/m, m=20 kg, and the initial values of the displacements of the masses m1 and m2 are l and -1 respectively.
