Here stats, the only author of De Silentio Umbrae.
This blog, translated in "about Shadow's Silence", is a collection of how I see the AoS, WHFB and WH40K. My colour choice is rarely hot, and never bright or happy: I like grim, dark, dirty and gory miniatures. All the minis, tutorial and stuff is based on this way of read the hobby.
I never keep for me what I paint -except Dark Eldar and Dark Elves-: this is why I sell almost everything I paint, I do not need keep them for me, pics and experience above all are only what I save.
Furthermore I am not a gamer, so I can paint everything I want without the constrain of rules.
I'm interested also in the grey areas of our hobby: miniatures that are not completely good or evil (if this make sense in our hobby worlds).
This is my second blog. The first one had been not supported anymore, because a great accident happened.
If in one hand this is a pain for all the comments/pics/posts lost, on the other hand I can improve this one, after learning a lot from the old one. I'm not English mother tongue so I hope you'll forgive some mistakes I can make.
Well, that's all! Hope you enjoy it!

Maple Grove and Lavaque, The Sequel, got much better reviews than the original.
After an earlier proposal attracted passionate opposition and was turned down on a 3-2 vote, the Hermantown City Council Monday night unanimously granted preliminary approval to a slimmed-down project at the corner that eliminates all but a senior living community from the plans.
What’s left, named “The Pillars,” would have 110 living units on three stories, said Joe Ryan, CEO and founder of Excelsior, Minnesota.-based Oppidan Investment Co., which would develop the property. It would be broken down into 65 independent living units, 25 assisted living units and 20 memory care units.
There’s still steps to take before Oppidan can proceed with its planned unit development. It will come back before the Hermantown Planning Commission on March 17. If it’s approved then, the City Council would have the final say on April 6.
Following the meeting, Ryan said he hopes to see construction begin in the summer and the project open to residents in September 2021.
The original plan, for a 137-unit development that would have been known as The Arbours of Maple Grove, drew opposing comments from about two dozen people at the council’s Jan. 21 meeting. In addition to a four-story senior living complex, it would have included 18 single-family homes and several fourplexes for people 55 and older.
Proponents said it would meet a need for housing in Hermantown; opponents argued the housing would be overly dense for the 10-acre site.
The developer involved in planning the fourplexes and the single-family homes then pulled out, said Eric Johnson, community development director for Hermantown. Oppidan revised its plans to provide more screening and trim the senior-living building from four stories to three.
It already has four such housing units known as The Pillars in the Twin Cities and is in the early stages of developing one near Grand Rapids, said Ryan, who is a Hibbing native.
Only 14 community members attended Monday’s meeting, and only two spoke regarding the development. Both had moved from “staunchly opposed” to “this is better.”
“It isn’t exactly what many of us would want, but we feel that we’re headed in a positive direction,” said Michael Koppy, who had been among the leaders of the opposition in January.
Connie Bloom, who lives within a mile of the proposed development, said she still would prefer that the building be two stories instead of three. But she called the revised plans an improvement.
“What they proposed before was much too dense, population-wise and traffic-wise,” she said after the meeting. “I’m happier, but not 100%. … I could live with this.”

What if your Book Club was led by the very people who created the books you were reading? MASS MoCA has invited Johnny Carrera and Tom Phillips, exhibiting artists of “Life’s Work,” to lead discussion and join audiences for refreshments in our second adult-oriented Book Club educational program. At 6pm on Wednesday, April 3rd, you’ll have the opportunity to hear their thoughts on their own work, each other’s work, the books both projects are based on — and ask them those questions you’ve been wondering.
Phillips’ “A Humument” is a series of treated book pages on “A Human Document,” the Victorian novel by W.H. Mallock. For the last 40 years, Phillips has been continuously altering the individual pages of the book, each edition creating a new concrete text poem. The image above shows the transformation of one such page into a self-portrait of Phillips, accompanied by a few words thoughtfully selected out of the original text. Each page acts as its own individual artwork, yet the words also carry their own separate narrative throughout the volume, complete with recurring characters and story arc.
Maryland-based artist Johnny Carrera has taken on his own life’s work for over fifteen years. Carrera’s project, like Philips’, starts with an existing book: in this case, the original engravings of the 1859 American Dictionary of the English Language originally printed by the Webster’s company. Carrera’s Pictorial Webster’s Dictionary transforms his source to create a new lexicon of words, images and meaning. Together these projects not only offer insights into the working process of two artists but also allow viewers to rethink, books, images and the nature of time.
The event will take place in the “Life’s Work” exhibition, and is FREE to members and students, and $5 for all others. Coffee & cake, wine & cheese will be served.

Rubber Ducky, you're the one
Author and illustrator Eric Carle has received numerous accolades over the years, including the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award for his lifetime contributions to children's literature. Who doesn't know and love The Very Hungry Caterpillar, after all, and many other books from this talented author?
Carle is an absolute master at making a simple story heartwarming and visually compelling, especially for young preschoolers. He has done it again with 10 Little Rubber Ducks, a picture book based on actual events. He was inspired by a 1992 news clipping of a shipment of 29,000 rubber bathtub toys that fell overboard from a container ship. The debris spread far and wide, from Alaska to the Atlantic.
The title page of 10 Little Rubber Ducks sets the stage with a view of 10 numbered cutouts of the ducks, and then the story begins, with the toys rolling through the factory assembly line, being painted, packed up and finally loaded onto a cargo ship. Alas, a storm hits the ship and sends the box into the sea, causing the captain to shout: "10 rubber ducks overboard!"
The ducks float in many directions, one going with a dolphin, another with a seal, another with a polar bear, one with a flamingo and so on. The 10th duck finally meets a family of ducks and blends right in, except for the fact that he squeaks instead of quacks.
Carle's signature collages are beautifully vivid, filled with ocean greens, blues, oranges, and of course, rubber ducky yellow. The faces on each animal the ducks meet are simple, yet full of emotion, which is part of the reason Carle's books are so appealing to all, especially the very young. They're also applauded by weary parents at the end of the day because they're substantial stories, yet blessedly short.
In this latest bedtime treat, all will be soothed by the closing spread of the duck family resting cozily underneath the stars and a bright full moon. Just make sure you have a rubber duck of your own, because little readers are sure to want to start playing with one after hearing Carle's tale.

This past Saturday I ran the Rock ‘n’ Read 5k to benefit the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library.
I raced the Labor Day Funk Run 5k five days earlier and didn’t have the best experience. My only goal was to run this race smarter than I ran on Monday. Meaning no positive splitting.
Things were a little hectic before the start. My husband and kids came with me, and it took a lot longer than anticipated to pick up our bibs (my son did the kids’ dash), feed my daughter, and find a real bathroom for my newly potty-trained son (I don’t think he’s quite ready for porta potties yet – gag).
I only had time for a mile warm-up when I was planning two miles. But I think this ended up being a blessing in disguise because I didn’t get too hot and sweaty before the race. It was 75 degrees and 98% humidity by 7:30 a.m.
Mile 1: The first mile was mostly downhill. A few of my friends ran this race in 2012 and 2013 and they warned me it was incredibly hilly. I assumed the course must have changed because there were no uphills in sight. I felt strong, I thought a PR was inevitable, and I hoped I could place overall (it was a very small race). I thought there was one woman in front of me, but I honestly wasn't paying too much attention at the start so I wasn't sure. 6:33 pace.
Mile 2: As soon as we passed the first mile marker, I saw the first hill. A long, gradual hill – my favorite kind. I’ll take long, slow climbs over steep rolling hills any day of the week. The hill seemed to go on forever. Then we made a turn and I thought we’d finally get relief, but nope! The hill continued. My friends were right -- this course was not easy at all.
I needed to distract myself so I started counting how many guys I passed. This sounds awful, but I absolutely love chicking guys during races. I got mocked by guys fairly often in high school and college for having "thunder thighs", and I think I have some leftover anger. So, I get a kick out of using my thighs to pass men. I get zero satisfaction if I pass a woman, but if it’s a dude, I feel like superwoman. #girlpower 7:18 pace.
Mile 3: Seeing that 7:18 pace flash on my Garmin made me want to cry. I was blowing up just like I did on Monday. But despite the constant uphill and slowing pace, I felt fairly strong. I was beyond sick of the hill and prayed for flat road, but I didn’t feel like I was doing that badly. At 2.5 miles exactly we made a turn and the hill ended. I was elated, but when I tried to speed up my legs were tired. I just pushed as hard as I could to the finish line. 7:09 pace.
Finish time: 21:35 – first female overall -- 14 guys passed.
I didn’t look at my watch at all during the third mile, and I’m still kicking myself for it now. My PR s 21:33 and had I known I was so close, I definitely would have pushed harder towards the end. Oh well! I have mixed feelings on the race. On one hand, I feel like I should have held back in the first mile and ran smarter. But on the other hand, I'm not sure it would have mattered given the course profile. Negative splitting doesn’t make sense on every course.
I was really shocked to come in first. Yay for small races! I thought there was another female in front of me the whole time, but I was wrong. As as the first overall female, I won $150! I donated the money back to the library, though, since I was given free entry to the race.
Then the real fun began! It was time for Wyatt’s race! The poor guy had been up since 6:00 a.m. asking when he was going to get to race, and he had to wait until 9:00 a.m.
He did great! I love how much he loves running! He was a little distracted by the Chick-fil-a cow during the race, though – he ran over to the cow halfway through his run and asked the cow to pick him up. Thankfully, he regrouped and finished strong.
My poor little guy started crying afterwards saying he didn’t want his race to be over. I know how you feel, bud. Mommy prefers longer distances, too!
First thing is first – IT’S FOOTBALL SEASON!
Which may seem like it has no relevance to NYCM training, but it does. Football season = Fall and Fall = when my marathon is, so I’m starting to freak out. I’m halfway through training and I only have five real weeks left before my taper. One of those weeks is a half marathon, meaning I only have four real long runs left. It’s all starting to feel so real now!
Anyway, backing up this this week, it was a cutback week. I had no long run and was supposed to take it easy, but I raced two 5ks instead. Oops. I kept my overall weekly mileage low, though, so I am feeling refreshed. It was really nice to not have to set my alarm at 4:00 a.m. any mornings to squeeze my long run in before someone’s second breakfast of the day. That is one thing I won’t miss about marathon training!
Here’s how this week was supposed to look:
|7mi easy||Spin||7mi easy||Spin||7mi easy||Spin||OFF|
And what really went down:
|2mi warm-up + 5k race in 22:01||7mi progression run||30min spin + 30 min TRX||7mi at 8:55||OFF||1mi warm-up + 5k race in 21:35||60min spin|
- I’m over the heat and humidity. The past two weeks have been the most miserable of the summer – I hear it’s been like this all over the country, too. Yuck, yuck, yuck! Considering the humidity and how hilly both of my 5k courses were – my Fitbit said they were both 17 flights of stairs – I’m proud of my times. (Here’s the recap from the first 5k and the second will come later this week.) Even though 5ks are my least favorite distance, I really want to race a flat one so I can PR. Obviously a PR wouldn’t be a given, but you know what I mean. I’m going to put those dreams on hold though until after NYCM. Next year Jeff is going to get most of the training time (we alternate training for big races), so it’ll be the ideal time for me to focus on 5ks! #sub21orbust
- My progression run on Tuesday felt great. My splits were 10:03/ 9:04/ 8:55/ 8:32/ 8:07/ 7:56/ 7:46. I’m going to try to run more runs like this (but without as drastic of a drop in pace), particularly long runs, to better prep for the feeling on race day.
- I’m still in love with TRX. I’m going to take the combo spin/TRX class for the rest of training since it hurts so good.
Thank you all so much for your fuel recommendations! I totally forgot about Sharkies and Chomps and am going to experiment with them on this week’s 18-miler.
This past Sunday night, my husband, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, and I were sitting around my inlaws’ table chatting about running. I had 800m repeats on the docket for the next morning and was trying to convince someone to join me at the track at 5:30 a.m.
Somehow we got on the subject of 10ks and I realized I’ve only ever raced two 10ks. Crazy! Then Laura remembered that there was a race in my inlaws’ town the next morning, and she thought there was a 10k option. That sounded so tempting! Racing a 10k would essentially be the same thing as 9x 800m, right?
Except there was no 10k option for the Labor Day Funk Run this year, only a 5k. None of us had any interest in running the 5k until we realized the top male and female would each receive $100 cash. We looked at the participant list and saw there were only 80 runners registered. We may or may not have spent the next half hour Googling a lot of the registered runners’ previous race times. <--- I can’t believe I just admitted that publicly! #stalker
We decided that my brother-in-law and I each had a shot at winning (cheers for small races), and my husband and sister-in-law would probably place, too. The registration fee was steep – $30 each – but if two of us took home $100, it’d be worth it. Right?
Wow, that was the longest intro to a race ever! But that’s the story of how I ended up running a 5k on Labor Day. I literally had no plans of doing so until 12 hours beforehand.
We arrived at registration at 7:00 a.m. -- an hour before the start – and I immediately regretted my decision to race and skip my planned workout. I’m just not used to running when the sun is out! All summer, the heat and humidity haven’t bothered me one bit because I start my runs by 5:30 or 6 a.m.
And then I saw her. The girl who would beat me. At small races, I can always pick out the women who are around my pace or faster than me. (The other two women I was concerned about came in 3rd and 4th.)
Even though I knew I essentially had no shot of winning, I wanted to race well. I did an easy 2 mile warm-up and felt pretty good, despite the heat. I ran part of the course and saw that it’d be hilly, but it was similar to the hills that I was used to at home, so I wasn’t worried.
Finally, it was time to start. The first mile felt great! The speedy girl took off and I never saw her again, but I was in second place from the first half mile on. When my watched beeped 6:43 after the first mile, I felt awesome. My 5k PR pace is 6:57 and I had a feeling I’d PR, which I didn’t expect.
And then I fell apart. There were more hills and less shade in mile 2, and I just couldn’t hold it together. I was so mad at myself for going out so fast and getting my hopes up. Rookie mistake. Mile 2: 7:00.
I made it my goal to run mile 3 faster than mile 2. I tried thinking of every inspiring running mantra I know “you’re stronger than you think”, “you can do anything for a mile”. “it’s your choice to finish strong.” But none of them worked. I completely blew up on the final hill, and decided that 5ks are the worst race distance ever. Mile 3: 7:18.
I crossed the finish line in 22:01 – 29 seconds off a PR. I was pretty proud of my time because my PR is 3 years old. I was not happy with how I ran the race, though, but it was a good learning experience. I have another 5k on Saturday and my only goal is to run the race smart. These days I care more about how I feel during a race than the time on the clock. I feel a lot better about myself when I negative split rather than positive split!
I came in second place overall and while I didn’t receive the $100 cash prize, I did earn a $50 gift card to a running store! Sweet! Plus, I also received free Chick-fil-a lunch and an awesome framed record.
My brother-in-law came in third overall, and my sister-in-law and husband both snagged first place in their age groups!
No one set any speed records, but we each earned a fancy Funk Run record! It was a lot of fun racing with my family. We need to do more races together – preferably with more than 12 hours lead time!

No matter how loud you turn them up, [a]Movietone[/a] still sound far, far away.
No matter how loud you turn them up, [a]Movietone[/a] still sound far, far away. Their music comes filtered through thick banks of cloud; hazy, indistinct, a little damp. Maybe there’s an old jazz record playing in the house across the bay, or a broken guitar feeding back almost out of earshot. It’s hard to tell.
OK, we exaggerate, but not by much. ‘The Blossom Filled Streets’ is the third album by Movietone, part of the Bristol collective of second-hand record shop loiterers and fuzz aesthetes that also includes[a]Flying Saucer Attack[/a] and the Third Eye Foundation. The windswept-and-interesting arm of this many-tentacled avant-rock behemoth, they’re a spare, willowy pleasure.
Everything feels tremendously loose, as pianos and woodwinds circle indolently around drumming that could, in a gentler world, be called jazzy. One track, featuring sternly scraped bass, some seagulls and nothing else, is called ‘Seagulls/Bass’. Kate Wright sings sometimes, like on the marvellous ‘Hydra’, and appears to have wandered in off the streets by accident, utterly lost. It’s all a bit unnerving for orthodox rockers, but lovely nonetheless.
The last albums by Yo La Tengo and The Pastels have had a similarly folksy, soft-focus grace. But Movietone inhabit a peculiarly English landscape, one of fog and deserted beaches that’s more mythical than part of ordinary life. Every day is like Sunday, then, but in a terribly sophisticated way.

Giant Eagle to Remodel Ohio Stores
Giant Eagle is planning remodeling projects at some of its stores in the Akron and Canton, Ohio, area. The Pittsburgh-based grocer plans to expand its Jackson Township store in The Strip and its North Canton store in Washington Square Shopping Center, according to local press reports.
While Giant Eagle officials declined to discuss new projects, the company did provide local media with information about the ongoing expansion at its Howe Avenue store in Akron’s Chapel Hill area.
The newly remodeled store will include an expanded produce section, with enhanced organic offerings; a new cafe with a cold and hot food bar, and more grab-and-go selections; an expanded deli with a dedicated cheese shop; an expanded meat and seafood department; lareger frozen and dairy sections; and a new drive-through pharmacy.
Demolition for the expansion began last October, but Giant Eagle declined to provide a timeline for completion of the project.
Plans filed with the city of Akron indicate Giant Eagle plans to add about 30,000 square feet to the 60,000-square-foot store, according to local press reports.
In Jackson Township, Giant Eagle has signed a lease for the space of its former next-door neighbor, Stein Mart, to expand its current store, the developer told local media. No plans have been submitted to Jackson Township on the expansion, according to township officials.
In North Canton, according to plans submitted to the city, Giant Eagle’s plans call for a 2,000-square-foot expansion into adjoining space, at a cost of $233,000.

The Northern Lancaster County Regional Police Department announced Friday changes to its “Use of Force Policy.”
The new policy “overhauled” how officers are supposed to interact with civilians, including:
- Prohibiting all forms of physical force against a civilian, except as a last resort and only after the officer attempts to de-escalate the situation and provides the civilian with an opportunity to comply with the officer’s instructions.
- Prohibiting all forms of deadly force against a civilian – including chokeholds and strikes to the head or neck – except as an absolute last resort when the officer reasonably believes that such action is immediately necessary to protect the officer or another person from imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury.
- Prohibiting officers from firing weapons at a moving vehicle or engaging in a high-speed car chase, except under narrowly limited circumstances.
- Providing new guidance on the use of less-lethal force as an alternative to deadly force and as a tool for de-escalation.
- Establishing an affirmative “duty to intervene” that requires all officers – regardless of rank, title, or seniority – to intercede if they observe another officer engage in illegal or excessive force against a civilian.
- Establishing an affirmative “duty to provide medical assistance” that requires officers to request – and, where appropriate, personally provide – medical assistance after any use of force against a civilian.
The policy was drafted in May and went into effect recently upon agency training cycle completion, according to the department.
“While the previous policy met all existing requirements for Pennsylvania Law Enforcement Accreditation and met the standards previously adopted by the Department of Justice for Police Agency Credentialing, NLCRPD leadership determined that there was a compelling need to incorporate a simplified and easy to understand directive for NLCRPD Officers to follow,” department officials said in a statement.
All agency members went through classroom, as well as scenario-based, training during an in-house use of force training cycle.
The department also announced that it will no longer work with bondsmen, bounty hunters, or other pseudo bail recovery or fugitive agencies.
According to a statement, “Police agencies across the nation have been exposed to both risks of civil liability and resultant litigation in connection to events where “apprehensions” were taking place.”
It continued: “While the legal authority is ambiguous, and policy or supervisory requirements for bail recovery agents is often lacking or inconsistent. As such in the best interest of the agency and our community, the NLCRPD has adopted the policy position that the NLCRPD will not assist these individuals in any material manner.”

Each year, Dorogobuzh (a member of Acron Group) supports agricultural producers in Smolensk region by donating its products. In 2020, the regional agro-industrial complex received 1,750 tonnes of donated mineral fertilisers, up 40% year-on-year.
This spring, in response to a request from Smolensk region governor Alexey Ostrovsky, Dorogobuzh provided 126 farms from 24 districts in the region with 1,250 tonnes of fertilisers – 550 tonnes of NPK and 700 tonnes of AN, 22% more than last spring.
This year, 500 tonnes of NPK were allocated for the autumn sowing campaign, twice as much as in 2019. All-purpose complex fertiliser was distributed among 52 agricultural enterprises, twice as many as last year. NPK fertiliser was shipped to 20 districts in Smolensk region, including Dorogobuzh district. Major consumers are located in the Smolensk, Pochinki, Novodugino, Monastyrshchina, Glinka, and Safonovo districts. The Sodeistvie Association of Farm Enterprises and Agricultural Cooperatives received 100 tonnes of fertilisers.
This year, local growers were given the ambitious target of harvesting 350,000 tonnes of grain, or 30,000 tonnes more than last year. The harvest is underway, and over 130,000 hectares must be planted with grain and legume crops. The average yield in the region is 2,360 kilograms per hectare.
The governor noted that Dorogobuzh is responsive to requests from regional authorities and greatly supports farmers by ensuring a timely supply of mineral fertilisers that are vital for high yields of the region’s main crops.
Alexander Tsarev, acting head of the Agriculture and Food Department of Smolensk region, expressed his appreciation for Dorogobuzh’s regular support for Smolensk growers and priority fertiliser shipments.

I submit this small but pretty waterfall for being located in a beautiful setting. It’s in El Faedal (Asturias province) and aka Regueirina.
I submit 2 pictures showing how the waterfall uses to be in the wet season and after heavy rainfall, and how I found it in the dry season. Water only flows down the last tier.
Aaaahhh… Alelele; love this waterfall on east Maui, with the ~40 foot drop, generally small and Cold pool, gorgeous black lava rock formations and steep canyon walls where Makani comes whipping down so fiercely. And yes there are many larger, longer, higher, more majestic and even more easily accessible waterfalls on the island. We love […]

Cedar Falls in Logan OH
Haviland Falls is located in the township of Bennington, VT. It was by happy chance that I spotted the falls as I drove through town. I immediately pulled over and scouted where to get some shots. Being located inside the town, it had a nice backdrop, making it quite unique!
Blackwater Falls is located in the township of Davis, WV. When I ventured to see them, there was a sudden snow storm in the mountains, and the temps were down in the single digits, but braving the weather was worth it! Great trails, and gorgeous falls, especially with the winter coat.
Bushkill Falls is considered the Niagara of Pennsylvania. It holds true to its nickname! Although privately-owned, the admission into the park is worth it. Plenty of trails to hike and various levels of falls to appreciate. The falls are located in the Pocono Mountains, skirting the Delaware Water Gap National Park.
Sawkill Creek Falls is located just outside the Delaware Water Gap National Park, in the town of Milford. Getting to a viewing spot is a bit tricky, but worth the short excursion to reach the falls.
Raymondskill Falls is located in the Delaware Water Gap National Park. The hike is fairly easy, though it does go downhill a bit to get to the viewing areas. There are several lookout locations to get different perspectives of the various levels of falls.
Beautiful falls nestled in the woods of the NJ side of the Delaware River in the Delaware Water Gap National Park. If the road is open, you can drive right up to the falls (there’s parking nearby), but sometimes the road is closed, so you can take a nice and relaxing 2 mile walk to […]
An exhilarating place. Can get busy over Bank holidays and nice weather. This is a must visit.

Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) is a well-established model for screening hepato-protective drugs. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the potential protective effects of a novel soluble β-glucan salecan on acute liver injury induced by CCl4 in mice and to further explore the underlying mechanisms. Mice were given salecan (40 mg kg−1) or phosphate-buffered saline for 3 days prior to treatment with a single intraperitoneal dose of CCl4 (1 ml kg−1 body weight). Animals were sacrificed at 0, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h post-injection of CCl4. Serum liver enzyme levels, histology, lipid peroxidation, glutathione (GSH) content, expression of antioxidant enzymes and hepatocyte proliferation were subsequently evaluated. The serum levels of hepatic enzyme markers were markedly reduced in the salecan pretreatment group compared with the control group. Histopathological examination of the livers revealed that hepatocellular degeneration and necrosis were significantly attenuated at an early stage during CCl4 intoxication and liver recovery was markedly accelerated at a later stage in salecan pre-administered mice. Furthermore, salecan administration remarkably alleviated lipid peroxidation and restored GSH depletion. Meanwhile, the expression of antioxidant genes was significantly elevated in the salecan-treated group. Interestingly, the administration of salecan remarkably enhanced hepatocyte proliferation in the recovery phase after CCl4 injection. Taken together, these results demonstrated that salecan exhibits a protective action on acute hepatic injury induced by CCl4 through attenuating oxidative stress and accelerating hepatocyte regeneration.

The highly anticipated final white collar salary exemption rule (Final Rule) is one step closer to becoming reality. The proposed rule would raise the minimum weekly salary requirement for the FLSA white collar exemption from the current $455 per week amount ($23,660 annually) to $970 per week ($50,440 annually). You can read our earlier post about the proposed rule here.
On Tuesday, March 15, the U.S. Department of Labor sent the Final Rule to the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review, ahead of the expected review and release schedule. The specific provisions of the Final Rule will not be known until the OMB review is completed and the Final Rule is published. The OMB review typically takes between 30 and 60 days. This means that we may see publication of the Final Rule in April or May of this year, with implementation taking place sometime thereafter.
In response to the submission of the Final Rule to OMB, Republican members of the House and Senate introduced bills, within two days of the OMB submission, to try to stop advancement of the Final Rule. The proposed legislation would require the Secretary of Labor to nullify the proposed rule and conduct an economic analysis to determine the impact of the proposed changes on employers. In addition, the legislation would prohibit automatic increases in the white collar salary threshold and require that any future changes to the exempt duties test be subject to notice and comment.
Because the Final Rule is much closer to possible implementation, it is more important than ever for employers to begin planning for how they will address the Final Rule. Options include potential salary increases for exempt employees or the potential reclassification of employees as non-exempt from overtime.

Police search for Davis bank robber
Davis police announced Tuesday afternoon that they were in search of a bank robbery suspect.
At approximately 10:50 a.m. Tuesday, a white male adult entered the US Bank office on F Street and handed a note to a teller demanding money, according to a DPD press release. The teller handed over the money and the suspect fled.
Though the note said the suspect was armed, no gun was actually displayed during the robbery, police said. Witnesses did not see a vehicle present during the robbery.
The suspect is described as 5‘8” to 5‘9” tall and 260 pounds, with a heavy or overweight build, police said. He had short, medium-brown hair and wore glasses. He was wearing a powder blue, button down, long-sleeve shirt with a matching tie and brown slacks.
The suspect was last seen heading north on foot behind Steve’s Pizza.
Anyone with information regarding the robbery should call the Davis Police Department at (530) 747-5400. Davis police are working with the Federal Bureau of Investigation in investigating this incident, which is the first bank robbery in Davis this year.
Yolo County investments safe, officials say
Though American financial markets are reeling from bank failures and talk of a government bailout, county investments are safe, county officials said in a press release Tuesday.
“For the time being, our strategy is to continue to build liquidity in our portfolios and remain ultra-conservative in our investment activity,” said Yolo County auditor-controller Howard Newens in a written statement.
The county’s investment advisor, PFM Asset Management, said the county’s portfolios were diversified, safe and had very high credit quality, according to the press release. The county does not hold securities from Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, AIG, Washington Mutual or Wachovia.
“Investment staff will continue to monitor the market closely and keep the Board of Supervisors apprised of significant turns of events,“ Newens said.

|Caribbean Islands Table of Contents
The second great watershed in Caribbean history resulted from the abolition of slavery in the nineteenth century. In the British Caribbean this came between 1834, when a law was passed by the British Parliament to abolish slavery throughout the empire, and 1838, when the apprenticeship system collapsed prematurely. The apprenticeship system was designed to ease the transition from slavery to freedom by forcing the ex-slaves to remain on their plantations for a period of six years. Its main purpose was to prevent the immediate large-scale abandonment of estates by the workers, although, with cruel irony, it was the masters and not the slaves who were awarded compensation for the loss of their "property." The system proved too cumbersome to administer and was prematurely terminated in 1838. Barbados and Antigua abolished slavery without an apprenticeship system in 1834.
Abolition of slavery was difficult for the colonies, which had to adjust to having a majority of new citizens who could not be denied the civil rights already grudgingly extended to the few. Extending those civil rights, then as now, was neither easily nor gracefully achieved because the political systems had existed for centuries as the narrow instruments of the small, white, landed elite, largely absentee, whose members were threatened by the removal of their special trade preferences. Above all, there were economic difficulties. Sugar prices were falling, and West Indian producers were facing severe competition not only from other producers in the British empire--such as India, South Africa, and Australia--and nonimperial cane sugar producers--such as Cuba and Brazil--but also from beet sugar producers in Europe and the United States. Falling prices coincided with rising labor costs, complicated by the urgent need to regard the ex-slaves as wage laborers able and willing to bargain for their pay.
To mitigate labor difficulties, the local assemblies were encouraged to import nominally free laborers from India, China, and Africa under contracts of indenture. Apart from the condition that they had a legally defined term of service and were guaranteed a set wage, these Asian indentured laborers were treated like the African slaves they partially replaced in the fields and factories. Between 1838 and 1917, nearly half a million East Indians (from British India) came to work on the British West Indian sugar plantations, the majority going to the new sugar producers with fertile lands. Trinidad imported 145,000; Jamaica, 21,500; Grenada, 2,570; St. Vincent, 1,820; and St. Lucia, 1,550. Between 1853 and 1879, British Guiana imported more than 14,000 Chinese workers, with a few going to some of the other colonies. Between 1841 and 1867, about 32,000 indentured Africans arrived in the British West Indies, with the greater number going to Jamaica and British Guiana. With important British politicians such as Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone (1809-98) owning sugar estates in British Guiana, that colony, directly administered by the crown, assumed great importance in the Caribbean.
Indentured labor did not resolve the problems of the plantations and the local governments in the Caribbean during the nineteenth century, but it enabled the sugar plantations to weather the difficulties of the transition from slave labor. The new immigrants further pluralized the culture, the economy, and the societies. The East Indians introduced rice and boosted the local production of cacao (the bean from which cocoa is derived) and ground provisions (tubers, fruits, and vegetables). Although some East Indians eventually converted to Christianity and intermarried with other ethnic groups, the majority remained faithful to their original Hindu and Muslim beliefs, adding temples and mosques to the religious architecture of the territories. The Chinese moved into local commerce, and, by the beginning of the twentieth century, the corner Chinese grocery store and the Chinese restaurant had become commonplace in all the colonies.
Emancipation of the slaves provided the catalyst for the rise of an energetic, dynamic peasantry throughout the Caribbean. A large proportion of the ex-slaves settled in free villages, often forming cooperatives to buy bankrupt or abandoned sugar estates. Where they lacked the capital, they simply squatted on vacant lands and continued the cultivation of many of the food crops that the planters and the colonial government had exported during the days of slavery.
The villages, although largely independent, provided a potential labor pool that could be attracted to the plantations. The growth of these free villages immediately after the emancipation of the slaves was astonishing. In Jamaica, black freeholders increased from 2,014 in 1838 to more than 7,800 in 1840 and more than 50,000 in 1859. In Barbados, where land was scarcer and prices higher, freeholders of less than 2 hectares each increased from 1,110 in 1844 to 3,537 in 1859. In St. Vincent, about 8,209 persons built their own homes and bought and brought under cultivation over 5,000 hectares between 1838 and 1857. In Antigua, 67 free villages with 5,187 houses and 15,644 inhabitants were established between 1833 and 1858. The free villages produced new crops such as coconuts, rice, bananas, arrowroot, honey, and beeswax, as well as the familiar plantation crops of sugarcane, tobacco, coffee, cacao, citrus limes, and ground provisions.

The price of Terra Classic (LUNC) is up nearly 3% in recent minutes following news of a major development planned on the network. This comes after Jared, who was recently the liaison for TFL and the LUNC community, claimed that the Terra Classic network will benefit significantly from the new “breakthrough in chain integrations”.
LUNC’s integration in Interchain Station
While speaking about the release of the new station wallet, Jared’s comment sparked widespread interest within the community as the new integration was a long overdue update to the relaunch of the dwindling blockchain. The lead developer further mentioned that the launch was delayed to January 12 due to this development.
Jared was quoted as saying:
For the LUNC community. Stay tuned, the delay is related to an update you’ve been waiting for.
The announcement follows news of multiple integrations currently taking place in the wallet’s repository, including Osmosis, Juno, SEI, Carbon, and another “bonus chain” set to be unveiled later this week. In addition, Jared confirmed that interchain support would be made available within the next 48 hours and that chain integrations would take place in a progressive manner.
We will launch interchain support approximately 48 hours after this tweet.
After this initial launch, chain integrations will be progressive.

Terra Classic (LUNC) token fire
Jared’s tweets come at a time when the classic chain is constantly facing reports of internal conflict between the developer groups viz. Terra Rebels and the mass undelegation process carried out by exchanges; example of this is the recent delegation of 48 billion LUNC by the KuCoin crypto exchange.
Price of Terra Classic (LUNC) on CoinGape
On the other hand, the Terra Classic community has been actively burning the excess number of tokens in circulation. By 2023, the project and chain plan validators will have burned billions of Terra Classic (LUNC) tokens. Currently, the community has collectively staked about 850 billion LUNC tokens and burned about 37.30 million of the altcoin so far.
As things stand, the price of Terra Classic (LUNC) is currently trading at $0.000167. This represents a 3.1% increase on the day, as opposed to the massive 10.2% gain during the past week, according to CoinGape’s crypto market tracker.

The Oprah Winfrey Community is dropping two vacation motion pictures for Christmas 2022, snagging a bit of the ever-growing pie for the tremendous saccharine but ultra-popular streaming style. On the similar time, OWN’s choices added much-needed range to the combination. The primary is The Nice Vacation Baking Conflict, that includes LeToya Luckett and Finesse Mitchell as dueling pastry cooks. This movie debuts Saturday, December 3 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. The Christmas cooking household film is bound to enchantment to followers of the style, in addition to followers of Luckett, who’s an authentic member of Future’s Youngster.
However vacation film buffs will swoon once they study that the community did not cease at one.
There may be extra.
A Christmas grope follows on December 10, that includes Eva Marcille as Nicole Barnes and Devale Ellis as Jordan Davies. Barnes is the “disaster administration queen”, who should handle a scandal for knowledgeable athlete TV commentator whose contract isn’t renewed after components of his previous come again to hang-out him. It is the form of film steeped in genuine actuality that OWN viewers can admire. Marcelle serves as co-executive producer, but it surely’s additionally value noting that Roger Bobb, a longtime contributor to this style of movie, can be listed alongside Carla Gardini as an government producer.
The 2022 movies are a part of the “OWN for the Holidays” film lineup, which the community has been advertising and marketing for 4 years now. Final yr, the community launched three movies: A Chestnut Household Christmaswith Meagan Holder and Brad James; A fraternal Christmaswith Deborah Pleasure Winans and Kendrick Cross and A Misplaced Christmaswith Andra Fuller and Rhyon Nicole Brown.
Most individuals joke about — and tune into — Hallmark’s Christmas motion pictures, which might see some 80 million viewers over the course of the season, in keeping with Nielsen. These motion pictures are good enterprise for the networks since most are being produced for lower than $2 million every as demand will increase, guaranteeing giant audiences. In 2020, in reality, I wrote in regards to the upward pattern. And there is nonetheless nowhere else to go however up.

Syngenta touts new soybean genetic process
By LARRY KERSHNER
AMES – Syngenta’s new operational research and advanced analytics programs is touted to speed up, with more accuracy and less research cost, soybean genetic developments.
Left unexplained during a Nov. 13 event in Ames, is how the investment savings may be realized for farmers who plant the seed.
Swiss-owned Syngenta, which has a major presence in North America, celebrated a major award at Iowa State University Nov. 13 calling for a math revolution in agriculture.
Attended by plant breeders, ag graduate students and college faculty at the Scheman Building on ISU’s campus, Syngenta officials explained how it has incorporated advanced analytics into its soybean breeding procedures with assistance from ISU faculty and others.
The team’s success won Syngenta the 2015 Franz Edelman Award for achievement in operations research and the management sciences in mid-April.
At the Nov. 13 event, Syngenta’s “Good Growth Through Advanced Analytics” presented in April for its award, was offered at the Scheman Building.
The process is directed by computer computations of the vast amount of data involved in genetics, working through a host of possible breeding combinations, leading to more exact breeder for specific results. It eliminates guess work, the audience was told.
According to Joe Byrum, head of Syngenta’s soybean product development, a five-year overhauling how the company’s plant breeders approach new soybean genetics, led in 2014, a saving of $287 million in research development, and in a shorter time frame, than new genetics would have been put forth without the advanced analytics method.
When asked how Iowa farmers would benefit from this process, Byrum did not address seed costs, but said it gave farmers soybean products they can trust.
He compared the process to stepping onto an airliner
“No one doubts the plane’s ability to lift into the air,” Byrum said.
Travelers have confidence that the designers at Boeing knew their aeronautical analytics was exact, he said, and didn’t guess.
Birum said advanced analytics gives Syngenta a new way to compete and farmers can have confidence “that the transformation is robust, it will perform.
“We’ve integrated the technologies.
“This tool is about better analysis of the data, to make better decisions.”
According to Matt Dar, an ag biosystems engineer at ISU, and a member of the team, told Farm News that operational research and advanced analytics cannot work well for individual farmers and their operational management.
The data sets for a farm, Dar said, are too small.
OR and AA, he said, are for managing big data, such as genetic developments.
A speaker’s panel described big data in this context was described as data so big, it defies traditional analysis.
For example, during Syngenta’s presentation, the cross-breeding possibilities within each soybean’s 46,000 genes, is 1.16×10 to the 12th power. That a number with 130 zeros behind it.
Byrum said more powerful computers can sift through the data faster and present outcomes more efficiently, than simply planting more seed plots around the world.
Prior to OR and AA, creating a new soybean products through cross-pollination took six years, Birum said. Now, Syngenta’s process is a fraction of the time, with substantial research savings.
Syngenta couched its new processes as the effort to feed a fast-growing world population- 750 million every decade – without hurting the earth’s soils.
OR and AA have helped other companies become more efficient, Byrum said, but this is one of the first major efforts to bring AA into agriculture, specifically to soybean development.
U.S. soybean “exports are valued at $42 billion,” Byrum said, “and is the largest protein source for livestock and poultry in the world.”
Tracy Dubler, head of Syngenta’s soybean breeding, said environmental conditions – such as soil types and climate – are the biggest challenges in developing new soybean genetics.
The new AA computations can show which genetics will work when developing soybean with characteristics specific to a region or environmental condition.
The analysis adds anticipated cost of the development and the chances for success.
Byrum said AA can be applied to breeding other food crops, specifically naming apples, corn, sunflowers and watermelons.
Speaking to attending graduate students, Byrum said agriculture historically is not efficient in managing big data and a math revolution is required. “There’s no reason not to know the math, especially with the computing power we have now.”
“Most companies will not be able to function without operational research,” Byrum said. “It’ll be priceless for agriculture.
“Those who have the OR skills will be sought in ag.”

I am not necessarily against metered billing. HOWEVER, it has to be reasonable. Second, there has to be an accurate way to measure usage at my router. One PC doesn't matter when you have VoIP, 3 computers and a DirecTV receiver all on the internet.
So how about a base price plus usage? Maybe $10 for the line and $0.25 per gb from there. I don't have any clue how much that would be for me, but I can almost bet it would be less than the $60 I pay now.
The problem I have with metering talk is the $1 per gb. There is no way that is an accurate measure of bandwidth cost.
Even $.10 per gigabyte is pushing it but closer. .25 = $1 per 4 gigs $10 per 40 gigs, $50 per 200 gigs, so a $60 bill for 200 gigs usage, and that includes both up and downstream.

Today’s video is entirely devoted to tapping and scratching sounds. Initially I was going to incorporate just the sounds of tapping with my nails on the dummy head, but then I accidently tapped the head just with the tips of my fingers and found out that the sound is quite pleasant, so decided to make more of it. I didn’t like the sound of scratching on the dummy head and thought that there has to be another way to make the sound more cozy and relaxing. Dust cover used in the video seemed to be perfect for the scratching part – especially for those who like more intense and expressive sounds.

I’ve really enjoyed using my iPhone for web access, basic communications, and social media such as Google+, Twitter, and Linkedin. The user interfaces and resulting user experience for many such smartphone apps tend to be simpler and more straightforward than the web versions.
Increasingly I find myself actually preferring the smartphone experience over the web experience. I was reminded of this most aggressively by a recent trip to the web version of Huffington Post for an article titled Book Movies: 7 Novels That Should Be Adapted by an unnamed author.
This Huffington Post web user interface is an absolute mess. I’m not just referring to the brain-dead slideshow used to cycle through the list of movie paragraphs and cover page images that are the topic of the article.
Just look at the flotilla of links crowded like barnacles around the page, all yelling “pick me! pick me!” like Shrek’s donkey. Some are to other pages of content, some are to social ranking and rating services, some to commenting and relationship building services. Thank goodness they don’t blink or jump up and down. That would be intolerable.
I’m sure there’s research somewhere that says this is the way to make a page “sticky.” By offering a plethora of disjointed and overlapping links and references, some to other pages, some to “social” commenting and content creation opportunities, you increase the likelihood a user will become ensnared, more likely to stay, and more likely to come back.
No thanks. I’ll go elsewhere. I’m no interface design expert, but my time and patience are limited. If you have good content, please don’t hide it in the weeds!

Blizzard Zero G 105
A 105mm ski just took a seat at the Zero G table. While the 108 is a crusher, it wasn’t the same lightweight construction as the 85 and 95. Now you can have your cake and eat it too. Similar resort-worthy performance as the 108, but easier to carry uphill. At 105mm wide, this Zero G is built using an updated Carbon Drive 2.0 construction. This is a layer of unidirectional carbon fiber that gives torsional stiffness while allowing the lightweight core to flex naturally. The 1.0 version gave the 0G series extreme reliability on hard snow combined with excellent durability. The 2.0 continues that reputation, with a slight refinement towards more friendly skiing in terms of flex. With ample underfoot width for float in soft and variable conditions, the 105 didn’t just take a seat at the Zero G table, it now sits at the head!


Carrie Hume, Development & Partnerships Director at Trees for Cities, discusses how we can best utilise the Tree Equity Score UK map, created to help address disparities in urban tree distribution.
Today marks the launch of a new map detailing the UK’s Tree Equity Score. It is based on work by American Forests in the US that successfully brings into focus the fact that many of the communities in most need of trees for health and climate resilience purposes have the least existing tree cover. Those are the places that need the most focused attention and investment, otherwise, when it gets hotter in towns and cities those people will suffer the most. That does not seem fair and is largely avoidable with targeted measures that include boosting the number of trees in their neighbourhood.
Trees are demonstrably successful at cooling urban areas, and offer an accessible form of environmental activism for many if provided with the guidance and skills investment needed for long-term tree establishment.
Congratulations to American Forests for their pioneering work to develop and underpin ‘Tree Equity’, and to the Woodland Trust and Centre for Sustainable Healthcare for helping to develop a version we can use in the UK context.
How can we make the most of the map?
Firstly, have a good look at the map and learn about the UK situation. Tree Equity scores show not only where existing tree canopy cover is low, but where the communities are that would most benefit from increasing urban tree canopy cover. You’ll learn a few things no doubt, and start to see correlations with other social and environmental issues from your own knowledge, like how low canopy areas coincide with low life expectancy.
The map feels pretty familiar at Trees for Cities, where we’ve been homing in on areas with low tree canopy cover (the main driver of the tree equity scores) and high areas of social deprivation (measured by Index of Multiple Deprivation) since our inception 30 years ago.
It’s why we established our Forgotten Places projects where we did – those areas stand out proud on this map, places like Great Yarmouth, Bexhill and Ramsgate which are particularly vulnerable to climate change and often linked to cycles of social and environmental decline (see professor Chris Whitty's report).
But we haven’t used a unified map like this before, and so we will be using this information to further help target where we work and why, before using more detailed information to work out the art of the possible with partners and communities at the local level.
Promote across sectors
Secondly, let’s all promote the map and tree equity principles, and what they tell us across the environment and health sectors, and beyond. With different sectors looking to improve local quality of life through planting, protecting and promoting trees, conversations between organisations are often fruitful and are increasingly helping to align effort and create a common cause.
The simple message that by working with trees we can in time reduce sickness and deaths in the most vulnerable, especially as our climate warms up, is a powerful one. It could unlock more conversations and connections about where to target effort and investment. Is the funding community aware of the need to align around the principles of tree equity, and are they coercing cross-sector collaboration to get trees where they are needed most? What different conversations will you now have off the back of this map?
Discuss with decision makers
Thirdly, talk to decision-makers about why tree equity matters and what steps they can take to turn the situation around. Maps are inherently engaging and tell a powerful visual story, so let’s use that to build out a narrative around this map that explains what’s going on, why interventions are needed and what those could be. We can then identify together where policy change and investment is needed to make real change on the ground and where more detailed data and insights are needed.
Can we set up some pilot projects that really bring the story to life, championing the voice and involvement of communities along the way, and establish route maps out of low tree equity scores towards high ones? Decision-makers would find it hard to dodge such compelling information. We are already half-way there with many projects, we just haven't cast them in this light before. Five pilot projects for five years could really get to the bottom of this whilst demonstrably turning tree equity around.
Equip communities with essential knowledge
Fourth, but most significantly, let’s use this map to ensure communities in need are aware of how low their tree canopy cover is, and of how boosting tree canopy cover will help them and their communities secure improved health and coping strategies during the climate emergency.
Empowerment of communities in need requires careful engagement, deep listening and inevitably capacity building in various forms. The American approach took many of these steps and so looks and feels like a change campaign, foregrounding the voices and experiences of communities and of their journeys and success stories.
What would it take to develop impactful campaigns for change in the UK off the back of these tree equity scores? In the UK we are fortunate in having relatively buoyant funding strands for establishing trees, still high levels of political and public good will towards trees, but we can definitely go further for the people who need trees the most. Who would lead such a campaign?
From maps to real change
Delivering change requires moving from maps towards increasing detail and partnership working, but this map is a powerful tool in pointing the way and highlighting the issue of tree equity.
Talk to the people behind these maps, and to Trees for Cities about how we can help given the tools (see for example our coastal planting guide) and community links we have established over the years. There are many possibilities emerging from these kinds of maps where Trees for Cities can continue to create positive change together with partners and funders. Our history speaks to the cause, and our future will no doubt be guided by principles of tree equity for some time to come.
Check out the UK’s Tree Equity Score map and see how our Forgotten Places project has helped green numerous coastal communities with low canopy cover across the UK.


Design and devlopment of Automated Medical Waste Seperation Using Arduino Micro Controller
A Novel approach method of segregation of automated medical waste separator using arduino controller is very much useful to our society in day today life. The fast development in the human growth has likewise prompted the flood in the volume of waste being produced consistently day by day. This expansion in the age of waste because of nonstop development in the urbanization and industrialization has become a serious issue for the neighborhood and the national government. It is likewise representing a major issue for the neighborhood specialists to deal with the squanders being dumped wherever as landfill. To guarantee the negligible hazard to the earth and human wellbeing, it is important to take fastidious estimates while isolating and shipping waste. Isolation of waste in a legitimate way brings to the spotlight genuine financial estimation of the waste. The conventional strategy utilized for isolating of squander in India is through cloth pickers which are time-consuming and can have antagonistic impacts on the wellbeing of the individuals who are uncovered to such squanders. which leads to antagonistic constant wellbeing impacts like tuberculosis, cancer and overwhelming metal harming which may lead to diminished Standard of living, diminished life span conjointly after impacts to era of children born to the influenced guardians. The proposed strategy for medicalwaste isolation of isolating out metals, recyclable and non-recyclable waste materials utilizing arduino controller. The waste will be encouraged to the transport line utilizing programmed feed framework which comprises of container closeness IR sensor(4.5V-6V), Dc engine (10rpm,12V), this IR sensor will distinguish the waste material on the transport line and the metal sensors which are braced beneath the transport line will detect the metal particles, for example, needles, razor , careful knifes and so on and thusly stop the transport line. A push arm joined with the machine which isolates the metal from the waste and it stores it in a receptacle .the entire procedure is identified and constrained by utilizing amazing, versatile Arduino microcontroller. The fast increment in populace has prompted inappropriate waste administration in metro and urban communities which have brought about the spreading of ailments. It is evaluated as 2.02 billion tons of metropolitan restorative waste was produced in 2016. The isolation, taking care of, transport and removal of this waste must be overseen proficiently to limit the hazard to the general population and condition.
