Antelope County voters will play a pivotal role in the construction of a new county jail.
They will be asked, at the general election to decide whether the county should stay within its current levy OR approve a special levy to cover the costs for the construction of a 30-bed jail facility.
Current cost projects call for the facility to built at a price tag of $6.9 million. However, during Tuesday’s meeting, supervisors were trying to find a way to lower the price tag.
Supervisor Harlan Brandt questioned the $6.9 million figure, saying the square footage of the building doesn’t add up. Steven Riley, speaking on behalf of Prochaska & Associates, architects for the new jail, said the cost is an estimate based on the experience they have had with building other such projects.
Riley showed supervisors a project schedule which indicates the project likely wouldn’t be completed until August 2014 at the earliest.

A new study looks at pica and chewing behavior in cats.
Does your cat like to chew on things that aren’t food? If so, you are not alone. I personally have had cats who liked to chew paper (one cat shredded my rent check once), cardboard, corners of the carpeted cat tree, and the ever-popular plastic bag. Have you ever wondered WHY your cat does this?
When an animal ingests non-food items, that behavior is called pica. Humans do it too, with the most common targets being dirt or paint (yum!). The cause is not well-understood, with nutritional deficiencies, parasites, need for fiber, and obsessive-compulsive disorders all being tossed into the ring of possible reasons.
A new study, “Characterization of pica and chewing behaviors in privately-owned cats: A case-control study,” tried to get a handle on some of the factors that characterize pica in housecats. Previous research has suggested an influence of breed on the ingestion of fabric, with oriental cat breeds showing a predilection toward fabric-chewing and ingestion. Others have suggested that being housed indoors only is a factor, pointing to boredom and stress as a possible cause.
The current study surveyed owners of cats with pica (N=91) alongside a control group of owners whose cats were not reported to have ingestion disorders (N=35). Owners were asked many questions about the cat (such as age, sex, breed), as well as questions about the household (people in the home, other pets, what types of enrichment such as toys and perches were available), and whether the cats had access to the outdoors. The researchers also asked questions about the presence of other behavioral issues as well as gastrointestinal disorders (from farting to vomiting). Perhaps importantly, they also asked owners if the cats ingested or just chewed on non-food items, and if so, what kinds of objects they liked to chew or eat.
Results suggested that in cats with pica, there were two types: specialists and generalists. Specialists preferred one type of item to ingest, while generalists had several things they liked to eat besides food. The most common targets were shoelaces/thread, plastic, fabric, rubber, or paper/cardboard. Some cats also enjoyed snacking on ear plugs, tape, toilet paper, sponges, and fabric softener sheets.
Surprisingly, the study demonstrated that many cats are “chewers” – of all the cats in the study, 70% of the pica cats and 60% of the control group chewed on non-food items, even if they didn’t ingest these items. Seventy-three percent preferred plastic, with 61% enjoying chewing on paper, and 45% chewing on rubber.
Although both pica and control cats like to chew, there were some differences between the two groups. Control cats were more likely to have food available at all times; pica cats were more likely to show more self-grooming behavior; pica cats were more likely to have access to the outdoors; and pica cats were reported to vomit more frequently than control cats.
These findings suggest many questions for further study. First of all, why so much chewing? One possibility is that, as hunters, cats would be spending a lot of time chewing and crunching through the flesh and bones of mice, birds, and other small creatures. Research has suggested that the act of chewing may activate areas of the cat’s brain that are serotonergic (meaning releasing and responding to serotonin), hinting that chewing might have some “feel good” properties for cats.
Why is plastic so popular? No one really knows. Some have suggested that some of the ingredients used for making plastic may be appealing, or that perhaps the sound of the bag crunching is somehow satisfying. I recommend playing it safe, and keeping plastic bags out of reach of your cat.
Is hunger a cause of pica? Cats exhibiting pica were more likely to be fed on a schedule. While scheduled feeding can have its benefits, such as weight control, cats are used to eating several small meals throughout the day. Future research needs to look at the pros and cons of scheduled feeding for cats, and how feeding regimen might interact with other household variables (such as use of food puzzles, exercise and enrichment options, and social factors, such as how the food is dispensed to the cat).
Many of the pica cats were vomiting frequently. It is possible that pica is related to digestive disorders or discomfort – and that the chewing is an attempt to relieve discomfort. Since this was a survey-based study, we don’t know if any of these cats were under treatment for vomiting (especially given that many people think vomiting is normal in cats – but frequent vomiting is a sign that your cat needs to see a vet). Another question for future exploration – the interplay between pica and gastrointestinal issues.
If your cat is a chewer, take note: accidental ingestion of non-food items by your cat can lead to expensive surgeries, or even death. While it might seem odd or cute, this behavior merits close attention to ensure that your cat is not injuring himself while chewing. Be sure to mention this behavior to your veterinarian, and try offering your cat plenty of appropriate and safe chewing options: cat grass, dental kibble from a food puzzle, and chew toys are all good places to start!

Real estate attorneys deal with the many laws and practice areas associated with land ownership issues. For example, a commercial real estate attorney knows which laws apply to commercial transactions for construction/development projects (such as condo construction), or land use/zoning projects (such as subdividing a parcel of land for development), or real property issues (such as financing a large land purchase). Likewise, residential real estate lawyers help you buy a home, or prevent you from losing your home in foreclosure. They also know how residential tenancy laws work and can advise you of your rights as a tenant. With so many types of real estate attorneys, it is important to find a specialist who does the work you need.

On my journey to work there is a point where the train line rises above the roofs of the houses and I can see all the way across the city. It is fleeting so I have to avoid falling into my commuter cocoon before I get there so I don’t miss it. Each morning I dash past the first waiting carriage of the tube train as it waits to leave. I gamble on missing the train to look not just for a seat but one facing the right way, east towards the city. I perch between fellow passengers with their heads in their freebie papers or scrolling through their phones. The female computer voice announces the second stop, reminding me not to succumb to reverie and I start to watch.
The train track is built on a level ridge above the sloping houses, built themselves on a sloping road. Gradually the roofs fall away to below the height of the train and the sky begins to open. Then, suddenly, the city appears beyond the carriage windows. The London skyline is framed by the rounded edges of the tube window, a land portal for the daily voyagers. In miniature, Battersea Power Station, the London Eye and the in-progress Vauxhall Tower blend into a flat plane. To the right, the Shard reaches skyward, disappearing into the clouds. This is what I see on a clear, sunny day, though really every day is different. Sometimes the Shard pokes clear of the mist; at others it is completely lost in the sea.
Regardless, my eyes relax as they lift to take in my daily snapshot, the photograph stored in my memory to ease the landscape of people that crowds in as we near the city. The nearer we get, the narrower the view. I smile at my brief vista, at the glimpse of human endeavour writ large. On most mornings, if I glance at my neighbours I will find myself alone in my view. Sometimes, though, I see someone doing as I do, as we journey on towards our destination.

Yesterday I had my first commute in the rain. It wasn't too bad, except for the fact that since I don't have fenders on my bike, I walked into the house completely drenched. At least it wasn't a cold rain.
Saturday is the Spudman Triathlon. I'm both completely excited and very nervous. I've never done an open-water swim, and the only time I have ever put on a wetsuit was when I went to rent one from PowerTri for the event. I've also never ran a 10k before in a race setting. I did run 10k last October, but I was by myself, and wasn't too concerned about the time.
Speaking of time, my goal for this triathlon is to finish in the top 99% of my age group.
The weather forecast for Burley, ID for this Saturday. Yes! A perfect day to race.
Here's a list of things I need to do before Friday, and Spudman.
- clean, adjust, air, and lube the bike.
- wash the tri kit.
- shave the legs
- pick up the wetsuit rental from PowerTri. (delegate the wife to do that one)
- pack everything I'll need for the Spudman
- double-check everything I'll need for Spudman
- pack a suit (I have my niece's wedding reception Saturday evening. It's going to be a busy weekend)
- help the family pack.
- check again to make sure that I have everything for Spudman
- find my friend who is also racing (and is in my age group coincidentally) once I get up to Burley.
Completely off topic, but I had an email at work this morning. It said
Team,'blank' is my boss' name. I was wondering if I missed something yesterday. I was in the process of asking another of my co-workers when 'blank' walked in. It turns out that there is (was) another person with the same name in the company in another state who apparently just passed on. My work group was emailed accidentally. Slight confusion for just a moment.
We are sorry to let you know that 'blank' passed away the afternoon of July 26th. We do not have details for the arrangements but will share these when they become available.
We will miss 'blank' – she was a giving, dedicated, loyal person who built many warm friendships during her 45+ with us.
Have a great Tuesday!

What You Need to Know About Propeller Pitch
Many recreational boaters enjoy getting the best performance from their boat engines. A key factor in maximizing torque is to select the right propeller. A little knowledge about what parts make up a propeller and how these interact with other engine parts, will help boat owners determine the best propeller performance characteristics for their boats.
Propeller pitch is a measurement that will assist in determining the right propeller to buy. This measure is the maximum distance a propeller will move a vessel forward through the water per rotation. Roughly translated, a prop with a pitch of twenty one inches will actually move a boat forward by only fourteen inches.
The Mathematics of Propeller Pitch
Ideally, to measure pitch you have to take the prop off the shaft and lay it flat on a table. If this is not possible, know that your measurement will be slightly inaccurate. First draw a line across the widest part of a blade, then measure the distance from the front of the hub to the points where the line meets each edge of the blade. Next, use a protractor, angle gauge, or carpentry square to measure the triangle formed by the two points at either end of the line drawn across the widest part of the propeller blade and the center of the hub. The narrow, pointy end should be at the center of the hub. Measure the angle between the two lines that radiate from the center of the hub.
Now take the first measurement and multiply it by 360. (That is the number of degrees in a full rotation, see where we are going?) Then take the result and divide it by the angle you found in the second measurement. The resulting number is the propeller pitch. Of course, the easiest way to find the propellers diameter and pitch is to read the markings marked on the hub. Since many boaters are seeking to upgrade their vessels, however, this cheat sheet will not be of much use.

We are still in Phoenix, Arizona at the Quilt, Craft and Sewing Festival. The sunny warm weather is just fabulous. All the shoppers from Minnesota, Wisconsin and places with cold weather have nothing but smiles on their faces. We do too. The next show is the Rocky Mountain Expo in Denver, Colorado so we need to soak up as much warm sunshine as we can while we are here!
Our big old motor home had a tire issue discovered while we were at set up in the fairgrounds. It spent 2 days at the RV fix-it place and we spent 2 days at the Crowne Plaza. A lovely hotel – they love our pooches. Campbell wanted to swim in their pool with a waterfall but no luck. The very good furry girls spent the show day in the booth yesterday each under their own table on special quilted beds provided by our friendly fellow vendors. We were so surprised at how perfectly they behaved….something that wouldn’t happen a few years ago. Then the tables would have been dragged all over the place as they had some fun zooming around the building visiting. Guess we are all getting older!
The show has been very busy with the big seller our Sisters Are Angels RedWork design. Guess lots of sisters are here thinking of their family. We will see what is popular today, our last day of the show….it is always fun to see what is the biggie design of the day.
Enjoy your time in the sun – we are!

It’s the first week of December, and that means it’s time to start getting worked up about the failings of the Bowl Championship Series.
Texas beat Oklahoma on a neutral field, and both are 11-1. But because of a higher position in the BCS standings, the Sooners will play for the Big 12 Conference title Saturday, and the Longhorns will hope for a Missouri upset to get to the national championship game.
In the world of college football, settling it on the field doesn’t mean a whole lot. Texas was robbed.
The Longhorns saw this coming in Austin, that the computers that make up one-third of the process would move Oklahoma past Texas to No. 2 in the BCS standings.
“The computers don’t watch games, break down film or see head-to-head matchups. They don’t even care about margin of victory,” Austin American-Statesman columnist Cedric Golden wrote.
“They just make a determination based on numbers fed to them by subjective voters, thanks to spineless university presidents who aren’t interested in giving college football fans a playoff system that would blow away March Madness in revenue and popularity.”
• WORSE THAN THE BCS — As embarrassed as university presidents should feel each year in trying to explain not having a playoff system, they should be even more red-faced when it comes to hiring football coaches.
Sylvester Croom’s resignation from Mississippi State on Saturday means three black head coaches remain in major college football.
It’s time the NCAA institutes a version of the “Rooney Rule,” which forces NFL teams to interview at least one minority candidate when a head coaching position opens. That rule, named after Steelers owner Dan Rooney, led to Mike Tomlin getting the Pittsburgh job in 2007 because he blew away ownership during the interview process.
Now it’s no big deal to see a black head coach on an NFL sideline. If it’s good enough for the pros, it should be for the colleges, too.
• NOW THAT REALLY HURTS — Not that Cleveland quarterback Derek Anderson expects a lot of sympathy from Browns fans, but cheering after he injured his knee Sunday?
“Fans buy tickets, I don’t,” Cleveland Plain Dealer columnist Terry Pluto wrote. “They can boo just about anything, and this 4-8 season has been alarmingly frustrating. But don’t boo a guy who is hurt, even if Anderson’s struggles have come to symbolize the underachieving group in orange helmets to many paying customers.”
• BLACK SHEEP OF THE PROGRAM — This is the problem when you get too many college kids in a car with a Sheep.
It caught the eye of a Penn State police officer, who thought it odd to see the clowns-in-a-car routine with the vehicle still in motion. At the wheel was Nittany Lions mascot James Sheep, whose vision was blocked by arms and legs and judgment allegedly clouded by alcohol. He was charged with DUI.
Now Penn State might keep Sheep home for the Rose Bowl. Just as well. Against Southern California, the Lions will be like lambs led to the slaughter.

Lanzarote, like many other dive areas around the world, has its own Blue Hole. It is located to the west of the Cathedral dive site, just further along the reef wall. The Blue Hole is a natural funnel through the reef, starting at around 20 meters at the top, and finishing at just below 30 meters. It is a must see site here in Lanzarote.
When coming out of the Blue Hole, you will be surrounded by a school of Barracudas, filling the ocean in front of you. Just around the corner from the exit, is a small cave that is home to a mass of small shrimp. The wall that wraps around the reef has many small caverns, just waiting for you to explore them.
On your return from the Blue Hole, you can dive alongside the harbour wall. This shallow area is ideal for extending your dive time and is a great place to see Cuttlefish, Rays and Angel Sharks.

Lisa was born and raised in a rural Maine community in extremely northern Maine (Zone 3) where it seemed everyone gardened. She was challenged by the rocky soils and cold temperatures of the St. John Valley.
Now living in Orono, she gardens in heavy clay soil that stays wet too long and then dries into a solid, impenetrable mess.
But, she’s in Zone 4/5, and that somehow feels like the tropics of Maine! It opens up a whole new world of possibilities as far as gardening is concerned. Lisa has been active in organizing garden education programs and frequently speaks on a variety of ornamental garden topics. She has a passion for very tiny alpine plants and extremely large-leafed plants. Lisa’s ornamental and food gardens expand yearly because “there are always new plants to try.”

3 m, 10:30 m/m
Went for a 3-miler this morning. Felt good, better than usual, mid 60s. With Zeke of course. Felt really good until a hill on the third mile, had trouble recovering. I did finally and finished strong. No aches at all. Good breathing.
Still looking forward when I can do the 10 m/m again. It has been quite a long time since I am able to do that without heavy breathing issues.
I noticed at the end of my run today that i have been slumping over when tired. I seemed to do better when I looked up, stuck out my chest a bit and breathed deep. I seemed to recover somewhat better. I need to keep this in mind when doing longer runs.
I have been having trouble with my CardioTrainer. I looses GPS signal way too often. I have not been able to record the last 2 runs due to the lack of consistency with the tool. I seemed to be since I upgraded to the latest version. I have been having to record the runs manually, which does not give an accurate m/m reading.


Air Base Wing Headquarters Relocation
Building 460 at Tinker AFB was occupied by the Judge Advocate General (JAG) corps. The building was determined to be deficient and unable to be feasibly updated to current codes. This project relocated the 72nd Air Base Wing (ABW) Headquarters (HQ) JAG personnel and other functions from Building 460 to Buildings 1, 7005, 1002, and 1014. New furniture was provided in each building that required FF&E design and procurement. The following is a description of the work completed in each building.
Building 1: The following areas were renovated and improved as part of this project. Each interior area included new lighting, power and communication receptacles, and balancing existing air distribution to serve the new layouts: Multi-Office Area , ID Office Area, MPS Offices, Military Training Area, and a new Handicap Accessible Ramp. Building 1 was occupied during construction.
Avenue ‘D’: Avenue ‘D’ is a two-lane road separated by a grass median located on the west side of Building 1. The median of Avenue ‘D’ was converted to angled parking spaces accessible from the east lane while the east lane of the Avenue ‘D’ was milled and overlayed with a new layer of asphalt pavement.
B7005: Work in this building included the interior renovations to existing work areas, private offices, and conference room the construction of new restrooms and an ADA‐compliant building entrance door, and converting the existing HVAC return plenum to a ducted return system. Each space required new floor, ceiling, and wall finishes in addition to new power and communication receptacles and a new fire alarm system.
B1002: Work in this building included the construction of new public and executive restrooms, break rooms, janitor’s closet, and waiting area, the reconfiguration of the Commander’s Suite, and the reconfiguration of office spaces throughout the facility. The building received a new fire suppression and fire alarm system. The existing HVAC system was adjusted and balanced with new controls to serve the new building floor plan. Each space required new floor, ceiling, and wall finishes in addition to new power and communication receptacles.B1014: Work in this building included converting an existing pre‐engineered, single‐story office facility into a military judicial facility that included a new courtroom, hearing room, jury room, offices, and support facilities. Each space required new floor, ceiling, and wall finishes in addition to new power and communication receptacles, and new interior lighting. The building received a new fire suppression, fire alarm, and mass notification system. The HVAC system was completely replaced with a new energy efficient and code-compliant system. Insulation was added to the existing roof and exterior walls to further improve energy efficiency. The courtroom included a new audio‐visual system that included microphones, speakers, and an overhead visual display system. Exterior renovations included parking area revisions for AT/FP compliance, landscaping, walkways, and painting of the building exterior.
This design-build project resulted in multiple upgrades to four buildings all while some were occupied. There was no disruption to service and now the JAG corps has been relocated to more comfortable, functional, and safe facilities.

What do successful leaders have in common? It often comes down to two key traits: passion and perseverance. In other words, they have grit.
In this episode, Angela Duckworth, a psychology professor at the University of Pennsylvania, shares insights from her New York Times best-selling book, Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance. She's also the founder of Character Lab, a nonprofit that works to advance the science of character development.


BALTIMORE - Motorists will be paying higher tolls on Maryland bridges, highways and tunnels beginning Nov. 1.
Under a unanimous vote Thursday, the Maryland Transportation Authority voted to raise the tolls on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge from $2.50 to $4 and the Harry Nice Bridge from $3 to $4.
The tolls will be raised again in July 2013 to $6.
Tolls on the Baltimore Key Bridge, Harbor Tunnel and Fort McHenry Tunnel will increase from $2 to $3, then rise to $4 in July 2013.
The passed measure also includes a rise in price for motorists who use the Intercounty Connector without an E-ZPass transponder. Drivers without an E-ZPass will pay 150 percent of the base toll, which will change depending on the time of day. Drivers currently pay a $3 fee for not using an E-ZPass.
Maryland Transportation Secretary Beverly Swaim-Staley were difficult but necessary.
"We've issued debt, as is common to pay for those facilities," Swaim-Staley says. "The debt service is coming due."
Officials say the tolls will raise $90 million in the first full year and $225 million by 2014.
The money generated by the tolls is expected to pay for aging infrastructure around the state, the remainder of the ICC project and I-95 toll lanes near Baltimore.
Md. State Senator E.J. Pipkin (R - Eastern Shore) says there is little comfort in the transportation authority deciding on a lower toll for the Bay Bridge.
"It is wrong, and these toll increases will hurt the economy," Pipkin says. "Shame on this board."

Thousands of Companies at Risk of Enforcement Action
The Environment Agency has recently stated that it has received 5,948 notifications of compliance and exactly 1000 notifications of intent to comply with the mandatory energy efficiency scheme (ESOS), leaving more than 3,000 organisations unaccounted for.
In the two days before the 29 January deadline, the Environment Agency received 1015 notifications of compliance – indicating another late compliance surge, but leaving thousands of companies at risk of enforcement action.
“We believe that approximately 70% of organisations that qualify for ESOS are on the road to compliance,” the spokesperson said. “It will take some time to match all of the notifications to the expected participant groups and verify whether the remaining organisations do in fact qualify.
“Our focus is on bringing organisations into compliance with ESOS and we will start contacting those organisations that have not yet complied this month. We will normally use enforcement notices to bring organisations into compliance and only issue civil penalties in the most serious cases.”
What is ESOS?
If your organisation employs more than 250 employees or delivers a turnover in excess of €50M, then you will now fall under the mandatory requirements of the new Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS).
Under the ESOS scheme your organisation will be required to determine the total energy use from its business operations (including building energy use, transport energy use and industrial processes). You will also be required to calculate the amount of energy used per employee and identify potential measures that could save energy.
This may seem a daunting prospect but using the Energy Management System Standard, ISO 50001, we can help you put the necessary tools in place to be able to audit your business in an efficient and cost effective way. Gaining certification to ISO 50001 is not only a trusted route to complying with the requirements of the ESOS scheme, but also provides a framework for promoting energy efficiency throughout the supply chain.
How can Alcumus ISOQAR help companies in danger of breaching this legislation?
In line with the Environment Agency Newsletter Issue 6 published in October 2015 organisations that can demonstrate that they have applied for and are in the process of achieving certification with an accredited certification body for ISO 50001- the International Energy Management Standard will be given until the 30 June to obtain certification. If you wish to apply for this route to compliance with the regulation you will need to act quickly by completing a questionnaire obtainable through our website here.
Steps to ISO 50001 certification:
- Buy the standard online – as an official distributor of British and International Standards you can now purchase a copy of ISO 50001 via our website
- Review your training requirements – we offer a 1 day foundation or 3 day IRCA auditor conversion course for ISO 50001
- Develop and implement your management system – we can put you in touch with one of our IAN members who will help you get your business ready for audit – search by standard, geography or size of consultancy to find one that will suit your business using our online directory
- Pre-assessment and certification assessment – we’ll give you a no-obligation quote for a pre-assessment or formal certification audit – simply call our team on 0161 865 3699

Professor Stephen Davismoon, Associate Dean and Head of the School of Creative and Performing Arts, shares his thoughts on how the Creative Campus developments will transform the student experience.
“The campus has just become all the more vibrant and beautiful, thanks to the latest development work. We now have a fantastic new Arts Centre, which provides an impressive amount of studio space for students, a film viewing area, and a wonderful gallery space for both our students and external artists to exhibit their work.
“The Cornerstone Building has been opened up to show off the beautiful vaulted ceilings and create a large student social area and eatery, which I think all of our students will really enjoy. The impact of all this work for students is many fold; it will give them a fantastic number of new cutting edge study spaces and some really nice social spaces, as well as transforming how they will be taught.
“The study of each subject areas will happen in a variety of different buildings, which will mix up their learning experience and ensure students benefit from an interdisciplinary way of working. We have Music, Dance, Drama, Fine Art, Design, Graphic Design, Film and Animation all being studied and worked on next door to each other.
"I really can’t think of a more exciting and creative environment anywhere in the UK, such as this.”

Back in elementary school the only books I wanted to read were the ones on ghosts, and bigfoot, and aliens, and other crazy stuff. I still don't know why I like things like this so much.
Growing up I lived outside of the city, with a bunch of fields around me, and so the sunsets and night sky were never ruined by city lights. The empty fields and the blanket of stars made it look like a scene where UFOs usually show up on TV. I used to sit out and wait to see a UFO, I was just sure I was gonna see one. I never did though.
I remember Area 51 and UFOs being very maintstream back when I was a kid in the early 2000s. I heard on Coast to Coast the other night that there was a boom in UFO investigation in the late 80's, so maybe the interest was still burning.
I Want to Believe. The existence of another intelligent species is pretty terrifying. Man has never interacted with a civilization of people that didn't think like him, feel like him, want, mourn, tremble, and share all the same motivations and a common history. It would change things forever just to know they existed out there. How would it clash with the teachings of our religions? Would it contradict our creation myths? How would it change our sense of purpose in the universe?

Considered one of the greatest novels of the 19th century, Les Misérables by French poet and novelist Victor Hugo has been made ever more popular around the world through a blockbuster stage musical based on the novel of the same name. While many have read the book and enjoyed the theatrical production, the State Library has managed to take us one step deeper. Exclusive to the Library, the "Page to Stage" exhibition takes visitors into the novel and the musical through an extraordinary collection of rare items from the collections of the Bibliothèque nationale de France, Maison de Victor Hugo, Musée Rodin, Cameron Mackintosh Archive etc. The exhibition has also been timed to coincide with the arrival of Cameron Mackintosh's acclaimed new production of Boublil and Schönberg's Les Misérables in Melbourne in July 2014.

OMG THE space deer thing is so cute I want it!
Aww, thanks, glad you like it!
Well I do mine at the store in person, I just ask for cardstock prints.
Ah, alright. Thanks for your help and advice!
If you’re in the US, go get ‘em made at a Staples store & ship them out yourself. It’s pretty cheap, the quality is dope, & you get all the profit!
Oh, hmm… if I were to do this, what type of product would I need to print it as? I’m browsing the Staples printing website and I’m not sure… would it be a poster, or something else?
hi hi hi I really like your "deer who catches stars in its antlers" and I was wondering if you'd wanna maybe sell me a print? i just, i love it a lot and i'd really love to hang it in my house!
Ahh wow I’d love to, just… I’ve never sold a print before, so I’m not really sure how to! Would it be better if I printed it manually and shipped it (which I feel may not be very convenient for me), or could I sell it through an art site like Society6 or Redbubble (which of the two is better?)
Thanks for the link! Yeah i dont know why i dont have it (my version is the same )but eeew. And the last question is: do you have the "flat" texture? I only have the flat_ something or something_flat xd... thanks for answer the other question!
You’re welcome! And I originally got the “Flat” texture from here, but the link seems to have been taken down, so I’m not sure how to help you, unfortunately. If it helps, it came from a set titled “9 Paint Tool SAI Brushes” by sairin.
Hey! i nedd your help, first of all, thanks a lot for the brush settings!! they're really fun to use! well the thing is: in your ROUGH brush setting do you have the "watercolor 2" thing but in my sai it no appear... if you help me... thanks! and awesome works btw! c:
Glad to hear you’re enjoying them!
The Rough brush that I have posted is slightly outdated, in my current version of SAI I have textures like “Watercolor 1 pt” and “Watercolor 2 pt” instead of just “Watercolor 2”… but I’m not sure why you don’t? This is the version of SAI I’m currently using, if it helps.
Hi! I just saw and reblogged a picture I saw on tumblr that came from your blog. It's the one with a deer and antlers with stars in it. I wanted to firstly check if you did that drawing and secondly, if you did draw it, could I possibly use that idea of the drawing as part of a tattoo I have in mind for myself? I love the ideas of the stars being mixed up/or tangled in the antlers. I was already going to have antlers in my design anyways.
Hello! Yes, that is my drawing, and yes, you can use the drawing for tattoo ideas!
So I wrote a story about the deer because I really liked it. So, here it is.
There once was a monster with horns so high, they reached right up and tore the sky. Plop, plop, plop said each star as it fell, while the world below went to hell. The humans ran out in neat little lines because thats what they were taught, it was in their designs. So the people were picked off, one by one, it was quite a shame, they were all so young. The monster sat, head cradled in its hands. This was not what it wanted, it was not in its plans.The monster set out to right all its wrongs and to find a place where it truly belongs.
On its knees and head bowed low it happened upon a little doe. She was a girl, so her own head was bare, but she’d recognize those antlers anywhere.
“You’re a deer, my dear,” she called out to her kin, but the monster shook its head instead, it knew what it was within.
“I don’t know what deers you’ve seen or where you’ve been,” he answered, ”but I’m a monster, not a deer. For if I was I’d be an imposter.”
The doe gave a hard look at the beast before her, but she could not understand how this deer could be so unaware. It was being so unfair. One mistake was all it made, but she knew somehow it could come to their aid. She turned on her tail, and told it to follow her trail. So it traveled with, and they traveled very swift. They traveled to the edge of the Earth, they traveled the entire girth.
One day the duo met a herd that had overheard their tale of woe. They were aware the pair had traveled to and fro, and that the horned creature was not a foe. So the group joined the two in their quest to make sure they would achieve success.
During their trek they came across a wreck. As they turned to the sky the doe let out a cry, “oh no, surely we’re all going to die!” For stars were falling from the sky.
With eyes opened wide, the monster knew it had to provide. So it thrust his horns to the stars, the tops seeming to touch even Mars. It’s antlers open like a net, it swore it would catch every last threat.
The stars clung to his horns like a stem and it’s thorns. The herd look up and let out a cry. They were all so glad they didn’t die.
They spread this tale and the story took sail. The story of a deer that catches stars in its antlers.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THANK YOU THIS IS WONDERFUL
Hi! Here’s your transparent deer drawing.
I really think you did a fantastic job. You should be very proud of this deer.
florentia-lucem made a lovely transparent version of the drawing, in case anyone wants to use it! (please credit if you do!)

Last April, Redwood County teamed up with the University of Minnesota Department of Health to host a workshop about septic system and well maintenance. That workship didn’t happen, because COVID came along and made public meetings problematic.
With the relaxing of some of the state’s regulations about public meetings, that septic sytem and well maintenance system is back on again. KLGR News Director Joshua Dixon spoke with Nick Brozak, Land Use and Zoning Supervisor for Redwood County, working from the Environmental Office, about the details:
Again, that free workshop is set for Tuesday, Dec. 8, at the Wabasso Community Center.

We’ve all heard the “best mid-sized city in America” mantra so many times now that everyone is saying it in their sleep, right?
Put that aside for a moment and let’s brag about something Jersey City has already achieved: Of all the bazillion cities in the U.S., which one ranks among the top 10 most diverse? Yep, that’s right, Jersey City. Here’s the bigger surprise: Jersey City ranks second on the list, beating out places like Los Angeles and Houston – which didn’t make the top 10 at all – and next door neighbor New York City, which ranked ninth.
Vallejo, Calif., ranked first on the list.
This is according to the nonprofit consumer advocacy group NerdWallet, which looked at U.S. Census data to determine which cities had near equal distributions of white, black, Latino, and Asian populations, the four major races in the nation.
“Our methodology looked at how close a city was to having an even distribution across the four main races.” – Divya Raghavan
Of the top 10 most diverse cities, half of them are located in California and only two are in the South. Not a single city in the Midwest made the list.
The top 10 most diverse cities were: Vallejo, Calif.; Jersey City; Suisun City, Calif.; Oakland, Calif.; San Leandro, Calif.; Germantown, Md.; Lincolnia, Va.; Atlantic City; New York, and Florin, Calif.
“On a day-to-day, quality of life basis, diverse cities have more options like a greater variety of restaurants and cultural events,” said Raghavan. “So more diverse cities will have an Asian American parade and they’ll celebrate Juneteenth. You have more opportunities to learn about other people and other cultures than you would in less diverse cities.”
Anytime lists are drawn, questions come up regarding why certain entries made the list and others did not.
Where’s Atlanta, Ga.? Los Angeles? San Francisco?
“Remember, our methodology looked at how close a city was to having an even distribution across the four main races,” Raghavan said. “Some people were surprised by the list because they expected places like Hawaii to be on it. Just having a large nonwhite population was not enough to put you on the list.”
Another surprise was the list of the 10 least diverse cities. Interestingly that list included a number of cities that aren’t predominantly white, but are overwhelmingly Latino.
The least diverse cities included Huntington Park, Calif.; East Los Angeles, Calif.; Lancaster, Ohio; Rocky River, Ohilo; Forest Hills, Mich.; Laredo, Tex.; South Gate, Calif.; Green, Ohio; Mentor, Ohio, and West Seneca, N.Y.
Raghavan said migration patterns might be among the biggest reasons why these cities haven’t diversified their populations as successfully as some other places.
The NerdWallet website actually lists the top 20 most and least diverse cities in the country. To see the complete lists, visit NerdWallet.com.

Adaptive Encoding: How to Render Search Coordinate System Invariant
This paper describes a method for rendering search coordinate system independent, Adaptive Encoding. Adaptive Encoding is applicable to any iterative search algorithm and employs incremental changes of the representation of solutions. One attractive way to change the representation in the continuous domain is derived from Covariance Matrix Adaptation (CMA). In this case, adaptive encoding recovers the CMA evolution strategy, when applied to an evolution strategy with cumulative step-size control. Consequently, adaptive encoding provides the means to apply CMA-like representation changes to any search algorithm in the continuous domain. Experimental results confirm the expectation that CMA-based adaptive encoding will generally speed up a typical evolutionary algorithm on non-separable, ill-conditioned problems by orders of magnitude.

VGF mRNA and its precursor-derived products are selectively expressed in certain neurons and promptly respond to neurotrophins and to neural/electrical activity. Proteomic studies have previously revealed a reduction in some VGF peptides in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients affected by Alzheimer's disease and other conditions, suggesting their potential diagnostic and clinical significance. As the presence of VGF peptides within the human cortex has been somewhat elucidated, they were studied postmortem in the frontal, parietal, and temporal cortex areas of control subjects and patients affected by Parkinson's disease, and in parietal cortex samples from patients with Alzheimer's disease. We raised antibodies to the C-/N-terminal portions of the proVGF precursor protein, to the TPGH and TLQP sequences and to the neuroendocrine regulatory peptide (NERP)-1, all used for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay coupled with gel chromatography and for immunohistochemistry. In the control brain samples, the levels of TPGH and C-terminus peptides were about 130-200 and 700-2000 pmol g⁻¹, respectively, the N-terminus and NERP-1 peptides were less represented (about 10-30 and 4-20 pmol g⁻¹, respectively), and the TLQP peptides were below detection limits. Upon gel chromatography, the VGF antisera mainly revealed small molecular weight forms (i.e. about 0.8-1.3 kDa), whereas VGF immunolocalisation was found within different types of neuron in rat and bovine brain cortices. In the Parkinson's disease samples, a clear-cut decrease was revealed in the parietal cortex only, exclusively for TPGH and NERP-1 peptides, whereas in the Alzheimer's disease samples, a reduction in all of the VGF peptides was shown. The results suggest the involvement of VGF in the physiological or pathophysiological mechanisms occurring in the parietal cortex of patients with Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases.

Three-and four-year-old children from low-income families. Family income is below or at the federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) poverty guideline ($16,700 for a family of four in 1999).
(Note: Other income eligible programs allow higher income. For example, families with income at 133% of the poverty guideline are eligible for free USDA school lunches, and families with income at 185% of poverty
guideline are eligible for reduced price lunches.)
A minimum of 10% children with disabilities -- coordinated with Early Childhood Special Education
Oregon Head Start Prekindergarten provides comprehensive services to children and families. Federal Head Start Performance Standards have been adopted into Oregon law.
Education and Early Childhood Development
Oregon Head Start Prekindergarten’s educational program is designed to meet each child’s individual needs. It also aims to meet the needs of the community served and its ethnic and cultural characteristics.
Every child receives a variety of learning experiences to foster intellectual, social, and emotional growth. Activities develop language, pre-reading and writing skills, and basic number concepts. Children learn
about the world around them and how to work together. Activities are designed to develop self-confidence and an interest in learning.
Oregon Head Start Prekindergarten programs have a low child-staff ratio. Staff members receive training in child development and early childhood education.
Child Health and Developmental Services
Oregon Head Start Prekindergarten emphasizes the importance of ongoing heath care. Oregon Head Start Prekindergarten works with parents to identify a source of continuous health care. Programs supplement community
resources available to provide every child with a comprehensive health care program including medical, dental, mental health, and nutrition services.
Medical and Dental
Programs assist parents to obtain complete medical and dental examinations and to complete immunizations. Vision and hearing screening tests are done. Referrals are made if potential disabling conditions are
identified. Follow-up is provided for identified problems.
Nutrition education is a foundation of the Oregon Head Start Prekindergarten Program. Each classroom day, children are served a minimum of one hot meal and a snack which provide at least one third of their daily
nutritional needs. A trained nutritionist supervises the nutrition activities of each Oregon Head Start Prekindergarten and helps the staff identify the nutritional needs of children. The nutritionist plans an
educational program to teach parents how to select healthy food and how to obtain food stamps and other community assistance when needed.
Oregon Head Start Prekindergarten recognizes the importance of providing mental health and psychological services to children of low-income families in order to encourage their emotional and social development. A
mental health professional must be available to every Oregon Head Start Prekindergarten to provide mental health training to staff and parents, and to make them aware of the need for early attention to the special
problems of children.
Parents are the most important influence on a child’s development. An essential part of every Oregon Head Start Prekindergarten is the involvement of parents in parent education, program planning, and program
operations. Parents serve as members of Policy Councils and have a voice in administrative and managerial decisions.
Parents learn about the needs of their children and about educational activities that can be carried out at home, through participation in classes, workshops on child development, and staff visits to the home. Many
parents also volunteer in Oregon Head Start Prekindergarten as classroom aides, social service helpers, cook assistants, bus assistants, parent involvement assistants, etc. They receive preference for employment in
Oregon Head Start Prekindergarten for jobs for which they are qualified.
The family partnership component of Oregon Head Start Prekindergarten offers assistance to families to assess their strengths, interests, and needs and to provide services that build upon the individual strengths of
families. Some of the activities of the family services staff include community outreach, referrals, assistance to families in setting goals, providing information about available community resources, recruiting and
enrolling children, and providing emergency assistance and/or crisis intervention.
Children With Disabilities
A child with a disability can often learn more readily in a group with typically developing children. Oregon Head Start Prekindergarten requires each program to make available at least 10 percent of its child slots
for children with disabilities.
Children with disabilities and their families receive the full range of Oregon Head Start Prekindergarten developmental services. In addition, Oregon Head Start Prekindergarten staff members work closely with the
local Early Childhood Special Education program to provide services to meet the special needs of the child with disabilities.
Oregon Head Start Prekindergarten recognizes the importance of coordinating the planning and delivery of services for children and families in each community to maximize each community’s strengths and address issues
and needs. Programs work with parents and with other agencies to make the best use of community resources, to efficiently use grant funds, and to develop resources that are responsive to the needs of families and

The NFL is finally starting to settle in as we get to the last game of Week 7, but Monday Night Football looks like it’s going to end up being chalk ... unless the Chicago Bears can pull off the miracle upset over the New England Patriots. The upset for the 2-4 Bears seems unlikely, with the Patriots winning two in a row even without starting quarterback Mac Jones. To some surprise however, the Patriots are only an 8.5-point favorite at home against the Bears, according to DraftKings Sportsbook.
The AFC East seems to be a two team race so far, with the 3-3 Patriots currently sitting in last place in the division. On the other side of the coin the Chicago Bears are third in their division, but it looks like the Minnesota Vikings are going to run away with it.
