text: Bitcoin mining required so much energy that the sector would rank ninth among China’s 10 biggest carbon-emitting industrial urban centres by 2024, a dubious honour that explains why the Chinese government came down so hard this year to ban the creation of the largest cryptocurrency. The use of energy-sapping computers to solve cryptographic problems to create bitcoin – known as “mining” – is expected to generate 131 million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide by 2024, just behind the coal-mining city of Ordos in Inner Mongolia and ahead of the steel-producing hub of Handan in Shandong, according to the 2021 China Internet Report , citing data provided by the Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index. The energy usage and carbon emissions by bitcoin mining explains the crackdown on the industry , coming “amid China’s growing green ambitions as it aims to reach peak emissions by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060 ,” according to the report by SCMP Research. “Though already on the decline before the crackdown, China still claimed 46 per cent of the world’s bitcoin mining, which consumes a great amount of electricity. The government is concerned that the volatility and speculative nature of bitcoin could also create disruptive spillovers into society.” China’s cryptocurrency crackdown, which has caused bitcoin’s value to see-saw earlier this year, is one of the major trends of 2021 identified in the 138-page Pro Edition report about the world’s largest technology and internet market . The report chronicled the tightening regulations on multiple fronts that resulted in a bumpy road ahead for Chinese technology stock offers (IPOs) , forcing companies to alter their overseas growth strategies and re-examine underserved segments because of demographic changes , with renewed focus on private-domain traffic. China’s regulators fired the first salvo of their scrutiny on technology last November when they foiled the US$39 billion initial public offering by Ant Group – the affiliate of this newspaper’s owner Alibaba Group Holding – a mere 48 hours before shares were due to start trading in Shanghai and Hong Kong. Since then, dozens of regulations had been issued, and billions of yuan worth of penalties were meted out to scores of technology companies across a range of internet-related industries from fintech to gaming, ride hailing to meal delivery, and education . Part of the heightened scrutiny can be explained by regulators’ plan to break up the outsize market shares of the biggest companies to protect consumers. Another concern was over the data security, resulting in the unprecedented move by the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) to insert itself into the offshore fundraising approvals process for companies that amass data troves of more than 1 million users. Dozens of China-domiciled technology start-ups have since halted their offshore IPOs. While the road to New York, the world’s largest capital market, became bumpy – made more hazardous by speed bumps put up by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) – Southeast Asia has come into focus, both as potential hunting grounds for acquisitions and as locations for regional hubs. Alibaba, ByteDance and Tencent Holdings have all made a number of acquisition and opened spacious offices in the region. Still, shifting demographics within China created new business opportunities for tapping the so-called silver economy , as the number of internet users older than 60 years jumped to 11 per cent of total netizens in 2020 , from just 4 per cent in 2016. Scores of products, applications and services have sprouted in the past year, with “senior-friendly” features, targeted content, supplemented by courses to help the elderly keep up with the digital economy. Another demographic change was the rapid rise of the “sheconomy,” which attracted start-ups to shift their focus to cater for women’s consumption patterns and tastes. Cosmetics, apparels, food and beverages, and lifestyle are four of the product categories that best illustrate this shifting trend. The pace of China’s e-commerce growth has slowed from its breakneck pace amid a larger customer base. That has shone the light on private-domain traffic as a solution for companies to communicate directly with customers and engage them directly to drive repeat repurchases. Tencent’s WeChat super application has been the dominant source of this traffic due to its 1 billion user base, and its ecosystem that include messaging, social networking, e-commerce and payments.

Chrysin is another one of those unique elements from an exotic flower with special power to benefit the human body. The Chrysin used in nutrition is a naturally occurring flavone. You can also pick this element up from mushrooms, chamomile, and honeycomb. Chrysin benefits the body in several areas. Of particular interest to the bodybuilder is chrysin’s ability to act as an inhibitor of aromatase enzyme activity. Why is that needed? The aromatase inhibition caused by Chrysin can help to block the conversion of androgens into estrogens. Since Chrysin is poorly absorbed in the blood stream after oral administration, the Chrysin cream is preferred over supplements and has proved to be the most effective. Creams are also preferred over oral administration since the cream bypasses major stomach organs thus minimizing gastric degradation
Aids in relief from menopause and andropause complaints. Helps boost energy and stamina. Helps to build lean muscle mass.
Start by applying ¼ teaspoon / 1.2 ml (4 pumps) of the cream daily, which equates to about a total daily dose of 50 mg for the first 2 weeks; then apply ½ teaspoon / 2.4 ml (8 pumps) of cream daily, which equates to about 100 mg total daily dose. Once you have used the cream for 2 months or so, you should go for a hormone test to evaluate your estrogen levels and if there is no change then you can increase the dose. Maximum suggested dose is 1 teaspoon / 4.8 ml (16 pumps) which equals about 200 mg daily dose.

Women's Soccer |
Sept. 15, 2005
CINCINNATI, Ohio -- The University of Cincinnati women's soccer team fell to Louisville, 1-0, in the BIG EAST opener for both squads tonight at UC's Gettler Stadium. The Bearcats (2-3-2, 0-1-0 BIG EAST) were shutout for the first time this season after being held scoreless 11 times in 2004.
The teams played an uneventful first half, as UC outshot the Cardinals (6-1-0, 1-0-0), 5-3. Neither team had particularly good scoring opportunities in a first half dominated by the midfield play of each squad.
The second half was a different story, however, as the teams combined to fire 21 shots, 15 on goal, in the period. Louisville was able to break through in the 78th minute.
The Cardinals' Jessica Mello played the ball into teammate Jamie Craft, streaking up the far sideline. Two Bearcat defenders slowed her progress, but as Craft carried the ball into the box, neither back was able to clear the ball off her foot. She angled a shot past senior goalkeeper Sherry Slye (Cincinnati, Ohio/Roger Bacon) for her third goal of the season, giving Louisville the win in the rivalry match.
Slye made nine saves on the night, but was matched in goal by Cards' freshman Deana Waintraub, who tallied seven saves and posted her fifth shutout in six starts this season. She lowered her goals against average to a paltry 0.17.
The win by Lousiville is just the school's fourth in the long-standing rivalry. The former Conference USA foes each moved to the BIG EAST this season. UC still leads the all-time series with a 17-4-1 mark.
Head coach Meridy Glenn was pleased with her team's second half effort, and as the young squad jells, expects the wins to come. "Our girls really played hard in the second half," Glenn stated. "This is a learning experience. We need to come prepared to play the entire match. We had some good opportunities, but we just weren't able to finish them."
One such opportunity came mid-way through the second half as junior Ana Farmer (Renfrewshire, Scotland/Cardonald College) took a cross and had a wide open net in front of her. Farmer mis-hit the ball and it rolled harmlessly onto the foot of a Louisville defender, who was able to clear it out of the Cardinal end.
The Bearcats will welcome their second straight local rival when crosstown foe Xavier visits Gettler Stadium on Sept. 20. Kickoff between the Bearcats and Musketeers is set for 7 p.m.

"someone i loved once gave me a box of darkness. it took me years to understand that this, too, was a gift."
- mary oliver
there are the eyes on our heads, and then there are the eyes that are rooted from within. they have seen every disappointment, every loss, every fear and revelation and comfort. the best pictures i take are born of these eyes. the WAY i love comes from knowing how much i would give for it. there is a back story to this love story of mine. i am the photographer i am because i am the mother i am. i am the mother i am because of the person i have been, learning, walking through some dark things, growing strong, finding my voice, using it in all my honesty. sometimes things do not go the right way, but they lead us right where we need to be. the life i have now is a gift. simple things that i know are everything. the fight in me turned out to be the love that i feel so fiercely. i have walked through times that seemed better forgotten, sealed far away from my heart, only to realize that some of the sweetest memories of my daughter were mixed in like points of light, cutting the dark, showing us the way.
i have only a few pictures of my little girl when she was very young, though i took many. every one of those pictures is laced with a memory, a key to a world that we shared, the rest that we lost. the moments, the memories are all i have. i appreciate every single messy detail now in a way i would have never known. i want my kids to have the space to figure out who they need to be, and the freedom and safety to make their own rules and friends and opinions. i know what it feels like to yearn for these things, and no one will ever feel a drop of that in my presence.
we all have stories. use the story of who you are and how you came to this place. use the shadows and light as they mingle, in the world and in your own soul.
so often, i only have a minute. or i know that it's all i'm willing to ask of them, before i become the mother without the camera in her face. we never know which minutes will become indelible in our memories, which ones we will root for when we need them most. i have paid for these eyes, i have won them, they have been a gift. i will use them gratefully.

Blockchain is a transformative technology that is disrupting industries across the globe. From finance to healthcare, supply chain to real estate, blockchain technology is driving innovation and changing the way we live and work. If you’re looking to explore the blockchain revolution and learn more about this exciting technology, we’ve put together a comprehensive guide with 10 ideas for exploring the blockchain revolution in detail.
Blockchain is a decentralized, distributed ledger technology that allows for secure and transparent record-keeping. Transactions on the blockchain are immutable, meaning they cannot be altered or deleted once they are recorded. This makes blockchain technology ideal for industries that require transparency, security, and accuracy.
In recent years, blockchain technology has gained mainstream attention due to the rise of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. However, the potential applications of blockchain go far beyond just digital currencies. In this article, we’ll explore 10 ideas for exploring the blockchain revolution in detail.
What is Blockchain Technology?
Before we dive into the ideas, let’s briefly discuss what blockchain technology is. At its core, blockchain is a database that is shared across a network of computers. Each computer in the network has a copy of the database, and new transactions are added to the database in blocks. Once a block is added, it cannot be changed or deleted. This creates a transparent and secure ledger that can be used for a variety of purposes.
Blockchain technology is built on three key principles: decentralization, immutability, and transparency. Decentralization means that there is no central authority controlling the blockchain – instead, it is run by a network of users. Immutability means that once a transaction is recorded on the blockchain, it cannot be altered or deleted. And transparency means that all transactions on the blockchain are visible to all users in the network.
Now that we’ve covered the basics of blockchain technology, let’s explore some ideas for exploring the blockchain revolution in more detail.
Idea 1: Explore Blockchain in Finance and Cryptocurrencies
Blockchain technology has revolutionized the financial industry, particularly with the rise of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Cryptocurrencies use blockchain technology to create a decentralized, secure, and transparent system of value exchange. Bitcoin, for example, allows users to send and receive payments without the need for intermediaries like banks.
There are many other applications of blockchain in finance beyond cryptocurrencies. For example, blockchain can be used for cross-border payments, asset tracking, and trade finance. If you’re interested in exploring blockchain in finance, there are many online courses and resources available to help you get started.
Idea 2: Discover Blockchain Applications in Supply Chain Management
Another industry that is being transformed by blockchain technology is supply chain management.

Some of the key applications of blockchain in healthcare include managing electronic health records, tracking the supply chain of medical products, and enabling secure and private sharing of medical data. If you’re interested in exploring blockchain in healthcare, there are many resources available online that can help you get started.
Idea 4: Learn About Blockchain in Real Estate
Real estate is another industry that is being transformed by blockchain technology. With blockchain, real estate transactions can be made more transparent and efficient, reducing the need for intermediaries like real estate agents and lawyers. Additionally, blockchain can be used to create digital land registries, making it easier to track ownership of properties.
Some of the key applications of blockchain in real estate include property ownership tracking, smart contracts for property transactions, and crowdfunding for real estate projects. If you’re interested in exploring blockchain in real estate, there are many online resources available that can help you get started.
Idea 5: Examine Blockchain in Identity Management
Identity management is a critical issue in today’s digital world, and blockchain technology has the potential to provide a secure and decentralized way to manage identities. With blockchain, individuals could control their own digital identities, and businesses could verify those identities in a secure and efficient manner.
Some of the key applications of blockchain in identity management include secure authentication, digital identity verification, and fraud prevention. If you’re interested in exploring blockchain in identity management, there are many online resources available that can help you get started.
Idea 6: Consider the Future of Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence
Blockchain and artificial intelligence are two transformative technologies that are shaping the future of many industries. By combining these two technologies, new possibilities emerge for creating decentralized and intelligent systems that can operate autonomously.
Some of the key applications of blockchain and artificial intelligence include autonomous organizations, decentralized marketplaces, and smart contracts that can execute based on real-world events. If you’re interested in exploring the intersection of blockchain and artificial intelligence, there are many online resources available that can help you get started.
Idea 7: Study the Legal Implications of Blockchain

Idea 10: Dive Into the Future of Blockchain
Blockchain technology has been around for over a decade, and it has already shown its potential to transform many industries, including finance, supply chain management, and healthcare. However, the future of blockchain is even more promising, and it is set to revolutionize the way we live and work in the coming years.
One of the most significant areas where blockchain is expected to have a significant impact is the Internet of Things (IoT). As more and more devices become connected to the internet, there is a growing need for secure and transparent communication and data sharing. Blockchain technology provides a decentralized and secure way of recording and sharing data, making it an ideal solution for IoT applications.
Another area where blockchain is expected to make a big impact is in the field of digital identity. Currently, most digital identity systems are centralized, making them vulnerable to hacking and data breaches. Blockchain technology offers a decentralized and secure solution for managing digital identities, which could help to reduce the risk of identity theft and fraud.
Blockchain technology is also expected to transform the way we conduct elections. By using blockchain-based voting systems, we can eliminate many of the problems associated with traditional voting systems, such as voter fraud and vote manipulation. Blockchain-based voting systems can also ensure that votes are counted accurately and that the results of an election are transparent and tamper-proof.
Blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionize many industries, and there are many exciting opportunities to explore. Whether you’re interested in finance, supply chain management, healthcare, or social good, there are many ways to get involved in the blockchain revolution.
By exploring these 10 ideas, you can gain a better understanding of the many applications of blockchain technology and find new opportunities for innovation and growth. So why wait? Start exploring the blockchain revolution today!

The excursion to QUT on Thursday 9 August was a wonderful experience. We started the day learning how to code Arduino boards, which were part of small robot cars that had already been assembled for us. We started by coding basic light patterns, from simply blinking on and off, to a wave of lights, to sending messages in Morse code. This was a great way to introduce us to the main concepts without asking us to do anything too complex.
We then broke for a brief morning tea, before sharing our light patterns with the other groups. Every group had successfully programmed their robot to flash lights. After that, we headed to the Cube, which features many interactive screens. We completed a question sheet on the ecosystem of the Great Barrier Reef, and how humans are affecting it. This taught us how we can help to better protect the environment around us, as well as about some of the fantastic creatures that live there.
After lunch, we headed back to the lab to program our robots to race around a track. The robots had already been pre-programmed to follow a white line on the ground, so all we had to do was work out the optimum calibration and motor speeds. This required a lot of trial and error, and different teams had different methods to try and get the fastest robot. This culminated in a competition, where each robot raced another robot on a circuit of the same length. There were several rounds, with the two fastest robots eventually competing in a nail-biting grand final.
I got a lot out of this day, including a new interest in coding and new coding skills. This is especially valuable, as one of the hardest things to learn in robotics is a new coding language, and we were given several tips. I’m glad that the instructors were willing to provide help when we needed it, but also willing to let us go ahead and discover things for ourselves. I also learnt about what QUT is like as a university, as the people running the program are QUT students themselves.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the Exceptional Scientists' Program excursion to QUT, as I learnt new things, and had lots of fun on the way.
Rebecca Leonard, Year 9
The best part of the day was when we began coding our robot’s lights. We began by learning the basic syntax of the Arduino language. The instructors taught us how to turn the lights on and off. They then gave us the task to get the lights to flash SOS. We were left to problem-solve but if we needed help the instructors would give us tips on how to solve any problems we had in our code. Our group quickly solved the problem but then we worked out some other ways to make it clearer such as having one light flash quickly for a dot but three lights flash slowly for and dash and have a fourth dot flash between characters, so the interpreter can more easily decipher its meaning. We were then given the challenge to devise the code to display a dot and a dash in function, so we would only have to write the function out each time. This allowed us to write some much more complicated Morse code with minimal work. The day was very informative and allowed me to problem-solve through some difficult tasks with the code helping me to better understand the problems and solutions associated with making self-driving cars.
Daniel Carton, Year 9
Today was the first time I was selected to be a part of this QUT experience and I have to say it was a great day. Going into it I didn’t know what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of fun I had throughout the day. I didn’t know if I would be able to be a great help to the team as I had never done any coding or robotics before, but with the help and guidance from the QUT ambassadors I was able to contribute and have a lot of fun while doing it. I’d have to say the best part of the day for me was when my group (Ella, Emma and Emily) managed to get our light sequence to work exactly the way we wanted. Even though we did not have as much luck with the car races, I still had a wonderful time with this amazing group of people who never gave up in trying to code the fastest car. I had a great day and would love to do it again.
Alyssa Phillips, Year 9
The STEM for Schools experience was informative and exciting! We took a train trip into the hustle of the city and the beautiful grounds of QUT. One of the ambassadors, Jesse, taught us the basic rules of Arduino micro-controllers and we had half an hour to play around with the lights on out robots. After our time working together in groups, we presented our light shows to our peers. I particularly loved the interactive underwater display they have on the Cube. After lunch, we learned more about coding functions and went off to see how fast and smooth we could make our robot operate. We had a big racing tournament towards the end which became very competitive! Overall, I loved my experience – it was fun!
Italia Rees, Year 9
Being a new face in this program, it gave me a chance to experience activities beyond the school-grounds, extend my knowledge further, and become more familiar with my fellow students. The program was mainly focused on coding and robotics, and how self-driving cars can help enhance society and shape it in the near future. Consequently, this meant programming a replica of a self-driving car to develop our own group lightshows, using the LED lights, and racing them to see which car was the fastest. I think this experience should be highly recommended to the student body as it was an excursion that definitely made you think outside the box.
Alyza Jeffries, Year 9
I now know more about the topic of coding than my previous knowledge, which was nothing. My favourite experience was coding and racing the Arduino cars, and seeing how tiny changes in the code could make massive differences. Thanks to QUT for this experience; it was very cool.
Ben Mollee, Year 9
By far the most memorable part of the day was the final race for our robotic cars. After spending over half the workshop perfecting our robot’s speed, we were all on the edge of our seats watching each pair of cars lap around the course. Our group had named our robot 'RiceGum' and had, admittedly, spent more time attempting to copy other group’s combinations rather than trialling our own. We topped off our robotic race car’s look with gold and silver coins, or what we liked to call Gucci Bling. Though our car was by far the best looking, all the coins we used as decorations ended up short-circuiting the battery and lost the race for us. Lesson learned: it’s the programming that makes the all-important difference when it came time to race.
Charlotte Beavers, Year 9
It was an amazing chance to work with people you haven't worked with before. I was amazed that in only a few hours I could learn so much about something I never thought I would get the chance to learn. I am very grateful I was given the opportunity to come along on this excursion. It was a great experience.
Emma Gamble, Year 9
This was an exciting experience that exposed us to science and engineering in the real world. During just one activity that we participated in, we learnt how to program a robot car to drive itself around a track. We experimented with different instructions before racing the cars against other groups’ cars. This was a fun and interesting activity as it enabled us to use our newly-learnt skills in an exciting way. Through this activity, I had the opportunity to work with students with whom I normally wouldn’t work on a typical school day and was able to learn from their skills. Overall, this was an exciting and engaging day that was definitely a rewarding experience.
Hannah Shultz, Year 9
The QUT Cars of the Future Workshop was an amazing day where we learned many new skills in Robotics and Programming and gained an outlook into STEM life at QUT. It was a great opportunity to work collaboratively in teams in order to produce an innovative and futuristic design. My favourite part of the day was working with my peers to code a robot to race other teams on a racetrack, as well as creating LED patterns to feature on the exterior of our self-driving race car. Overall, having the opportunity to work in a team environment with like-minded students with a similar passion for STEM was certainly the best part of the experience.
Juliet Munro, Year 9
I had an awesome day at QUT. My favourite part of the day was the robot racing at the end. We had to code a robot to follow a white line around a race track. We were in small groups of three or four and whoever’s car was the fastest around the track won. This was my first attempt at coding and it was a fun challenge. Unfortunately, our car did not win. Although this was my favourite part, the rest of the day was exhilarating as well. For lunch we were allowed in the food court. The day was so much fun, and I really enjoyed myself. I have never experienced anything like it in my life. Everyone was in such a joyful mood on the train back home. It was a really great day!
Justin Trethewey, Year 9

I even put up the quilted spring wall hanging (it's called "Garden Trellis) I finished a bit ago. This is a shot from across the kitchen showing the "bare" wall space between the two windows where I keep a seasonal wall hanging.
I think I've taken about twenty shots at different times of the day to show this piece, but I simply cannot get the true colors to come through in a photo. The grayish check you see next to the pink is actually a pretty spring green and white check.
I found the pattern for this piece in a quilting book, but could not get the first two squares to go together after piecing them. I finally figured out the cutting measurements for two of the pieces in the square were incorrectly stated in the pattern. Arrrrgh. I re-cut them making them 1/4" smaller, and they fit.
When my daughter saw this wall hanging in progress, she said something to the effect of, "That doesn't look like something you'd usually make. And you NEVER use pink!"
Working "outside the box" occasionally is supposed to be good for us, right? Well, I did. And I'm not sure I like this piece very much at all.

This is what my raised garden beds look like this afternoon. I'm so excited (doesn't take much, huh?) to actually see them (mostly) free of snow. And, yes, there's still a bit of snow down on the bottom part of the garden. (Like about a foot.) BUT guess what our forecast is for tonight into tomorrow night? Sigh. Right. Down to 8° tonight, a high of 26° tomorrow and a 70% chance of snow. Southwest of us is forecast to get 10-15" (eeep!), but we're to expect no more than 3-5". (Keeping my fingers crossed we don't get more than that.)
Just for fun (so who's laughing?), take a look at this picture of what we woke up to on this date last year.
See? We could be farther behind on spring weather than we are this year!

Women say they prefer the personality traits of friendliness and respectfulness, but new research reveals it’s really all about looks.
When tested, women pick men who are physically attractive over those with better personality traits.
Younger women, in particular, pay little attention to whether men are trustworthy, respectful and honest — just whether they are fit.
Older women do pay a little more attention to personality, but only when choosing between attractive men.
The conclusions come from a study of 80 women aged between 15 and 29 and their mothers.
They were shown pictures of three men of varying attractiveness.
Each picture was accompanied by one of three personality profiles of varying desirability.
The results revealed that personality made little difference when men were unattractive.
Professor Madeleine Fugère, the study’s first author, said:
“We conclude that a minimum level of physical attractiveness is a necessity for both women and their mothers.”
Younger women were also more picky when choosing between the men.
Mothers, though, rated more of the attractive men as suitable for their daughters.
Professor Fugère said:
“This may signal that unattractiveness is less acceptable to women than to their mothers.
It might also mean that women and their mothers may have different notions of what constitutes a minimally acceptable level of physical attractiveness, with mothers employing a less stringent standard than their daughters.”
When the women were asked directly about the importance of personality, they all paid it lip service.
They said that friendliness and respectfulness were more important than physical attractiveness.
Professor Fugère said:
“Yet, in doing so, they assume that the potential mates at least meet a minimally acceptable standard of physical attractiveness.
However, when a range of attractiveness levels is presented, physical attractiveness takes priority over other characteristics.”

Solar Eclipse Graphghan
What did you do on Monday, August 21, 20107? Did you catch a glimpse of the rare solar eclipse? Were you in the "path of totality"? Well, if you were, you experienced a rare treat!
No doubt the eclipse was the talk of the year. This was a special moment where cell phones did not matter. Imagine that...millions of people were either watching the eclipse in person, or via some media outlet...not very many people were ON THEIR PHONES!!!! Imagine that! This was a moment for all to view the wonders of creation. We are all in awe when it comes to rare celestial events that we can view with our own eyes. So..did it inspire you? I must say, it did inspire me.
I was inspired to create this beautiful solar eclipse graphghan pillow. Every time I look at this pillow, it will remind me of that wonderful occasion were we were all outside, looking up at the sun through our kooky solar glasses, that is if you were able to find a pair...they became a rare item!
This graphghan was so fun to make and every moment I spent crocheting it, I was anticipating the eclipse. I was so happy to have completed it the day of the eclipse! Do you want to try this fun project? This unique pattern is available for download. You can download the picture graph where you can count the squares yourself, or if you'd like the easy way out, simple download the written instructions where all the work has been done for you. I hope that you will have as much fun making this pillow as I did. I must say, this was one of my more exciting crochet projects that I have done in long time...Happy Crocheting!

Where in Maine?
Have you ever visited this "quiet" harbor village?
Photograph by Laurence Parent
This island village is often referred to as quiet, but the waters here begin to bustle in June. The summer boats return and kayakers weave in and out of the working vessels. Paddlers often head out from this inlet looking for one of the state’s most famous lighthouses. Several boatbuilders are located here, too, including one of the nation’s foremost yacht manufacturers. And the Coast Guard has a base in town. So it may be quiet in relation to some nearby harbors, but it’s a relative quiet. This small community backs up to some spectacular hills with popular lakes and ponds. Visitors are often drawn to the hiking and then head to some of the fine restaurants downtown or the unique avian museum. And things were certainly not quiet when the Storm of the Century hit. The Stephen King miniseries was filmed hereabouts. Grammy Award-winning indie rock band Arcade Fire also did some shooting here, and the lead singer’s mom lives in town. Have you ever been to this harbor town? Send us a note at P.O. Box 679, Camden, ME 04843; whip off an email to email@example.com; or post a comment at www.DownEast.com if you can identify this island village.

The Government of India has initiated a Scheme known as “Protection and Preservation of Endangered Languages of India”.
The sole objective of the Scheme is to document and archive the country’s languages that have become endangered or likely to be endangered in the near future.
Key highlights about the scheme
- The scheme is monitored by the Central Institute of Indian Languages (CIIL) located in Mysuru, Karnataka.
- The CIIL has collaborated with various universities and institutes across India for this mission.
- Under this Scheme, the Central Institute of Indian Languages (CIIL), Mysore works on protection, preservation and documentation of all the mother tongues/languages of India spoken by less than 10,000 speakers keeping in mind the degree of endangerment and reduction in the domains of usage.
All the languages listed under SPPEL are placed under one of the six Zones for academic or administrative convenience. The six zones are
- North Zone: Northern Zone is documenting the endangered languages spoken in Chandigarh, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, and Uttarakhand
- South Zone: Southern zone covers documentation of the endangered languages spoken in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Telangana.
- Northeast Zone: This zone comprises of eight states namely, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, and Tripura.
- East Central Zone: There are fourteen languages from this zone under SPPEL
- West Central Zone: It is geographically attached to the States /Union territories of Gujarat, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Daman, Diu and Dadra Nagar Haveli, and Goa. In this zone, five languages have been identified as Endangered in the first phase of documentation of the SPPEL. They are as follows:
The last one is Andaman and Nicobar Island.
Criteria adopted by UNESCO
According to the criteria adopted by the UNESCO, a language becomes extinct when nobody speaks or remembers the language. The UNESCO has categorized languages on the basis of endangerment as follows:
- Definitely Endangered
- Severely Endangered
- Critically Endangered

Could this be the cutest baby EVER? I’m pretty sure that’s a yes (for me, at least). This is my sweet boy, Jameson. When a photographer has a baby the camera is pretty much glued to her hand. Here are a few of my favorite shots from Jameson’s first month.
Baby Logan was only about ten days old when I photographed him at his home near Denver, Colorado. He was the most alert newborn I’ve ever photographed, taking in the new world with his big crystal blue eyes for nearly the entire session.


Well, we don’t know for sure. First unveiled in September, the Dodge EV was the first of four smoke and mirrors-like electric concept vehicles developed by Chrysler’s ENVI program. Allegedly, the company claims it'll have one electric vehicle on the road in 2010. To cut costs, instead of developing an all-new model it’s looking to drop some batteries into an existing vehicle. In the EV’s case, that vehicle is the Lotus Europa.
Since that time Chrysler chose to unveil its future product line to a selection of media outlets that purposefully excluded Jalopnik readers. We'd been told one of the vehicles included was an electric version of the Jeep Patriot, but we'd also been told to expect a concept vehicle to be unveiled at Detroit. We guess this is it.
Now, according to the real journalists over at Automotive News, Chrysler plans to show off an updated EV in Detroit next week:
The Dodge EV shown in September was a Lotus-derived electric sports car. Look for the show version to have more Dodge styling cues and possibly be a four-passenger coupe.
Since the Dodge EV was basically just a Lotus Europa with batteries, it stands to reason a four-seat coupe version would be based on the four-seat Lotus Evora. “More Dodge styling cues?” We’re guessing that means they’ve grafted on a crosshair grille.
Is it just us, or is everyone sick of Lotus-based smoke and mirrors electric sportscars? Thankfully, Lotus says it’s developing its own EV, possibly in time for the Geneva Motor Show. [source: Automotive News]


This post, 8 helpful tips for mosquito prevention, is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.com on behalf of Mosquito Joe.
Over the course of the 10 years of owning our home, we’ve seen quite a bit of tree and foliage growth. With that growth and a creek two houses a way, mosquitos seem to think our backyard is the perfect feeding and breeding location. We’ve taken a lot of actions to make it less desirable for them, but we still have to do more to prevent mosquitos from eating us alive. We want our backyard to be fun and to be able to enjoy it. After all, it was one of our big selling points for the house!
It doesn’t help that our neighbors also have a lot of trees at the edge of their property. Add to that that it doesn’t get a ton of sun so any rain or water tends to sit on the grass and in the yard. What does that mean in our climate? Mosquitos. Lots of them that love to eat and attack us.
We have a great natural bug spray that I make that works well, but we just get worn down going outside and having to spray everybody to keep the mosquitos away. And, everybody ends up smelling like spray and having it on their skin.
Recently, we were outside at our friends house and we’re getting any bites at all and I asked her how. She told us that they had a company come spray monthly to help reduce them in their yard. When I was looking into having a service come, I was offered the chance to try out Mosquito Joe’s service and the timing couldn’t have been more perfect.
Luckily, I called on Monday and they were going to be in our area Tuesday morning. So, before I knew it, they were here to treat our yard. The technician that came to our house introduced himself, explained what he was going to do and quickly got to work.
Our certified and trained technician was armed with a backpack sprayer designed for precise application targeting shrubs and plants with a barrier spray. This spray kills mosquitoes on contact and bonds to foliage.
Because it bonds to foliage it acts as a mosquito repellent for weeks to come. However, the treatment is encapsulated and bonds to the foliage so animals can’t lick it off.
We only needed to wait 30 minutes before we went outside!
They key to the treatment (and overall mosquito prevention) is that it’s about breaking the life cycle of the mosquito. It’s important that the technicians do more than eliminate adult mosquitoes, they also walk around the property looking for breeding area and help eliminate them or make suggestions for you to get rid of them.
Tips for Mosquito Prevention
We noticed a difference in the mosquitos immediately, but ideally you have a contract with Mosquito Joe to come out every 21 days to retreat your yard. When I called our local Mosquito Joe’s office, Matthew told me it would take up to three services to get to about 95% reduction in mosquitos.
The mosquito treatments are reduction treatments that require multiple visits as mosquitos will come back if there aren’t active steps taken to prevent them. So, we have to make sure the girls don’t leave buckets in the backyard to collect water and take other precautions to help prevent the mosquitos from coming back.
1. Get your yard sprayed for mosquito prevention.
2. Eliminate all sources of standing water such as children’s wading pools, birdbaths and flower pots.
3. Keep rain gutters cleaned out to prevent water from standing in drain.
4. Cut back or get rid of unnecessary vegetation around the home where mosquitoes can breed and/or nest.
5. When swimming pools aren’t in use, keep them covered to prevent mosquitoes from laying their eggs
6. Remove water that has collected in tree holes and hollow stumps.
7. Screen windows and doors to prevent mosquitoes from getting inside homes.
8. Consider using yellow bug light bulbs in outdoor light fixtures – the bulbs reduce the number of flying insects around your home.
Outside is Fun Again
Now that our yard has been sprayed and we are taking active measures to reduce the mosquito populations, we are able to enjoy our backyard more. The kids are happy to jump on the trampoline and play on the swing set without getting bug bites.
And the grownups can sit outside and have a cocktail by the fire pit without swatting and smacking at those pesky critters.
You can get $25 off your first spray with code: BUZZONLINE at MosquitoJoe.com
Do you have a mosquito service to help reduce them at your house? How would you enjoy your yard without mosquitos?

Hungarians can vote on refugee quotas in September at the earliest
The referendum on refugee quotas will be held in September at the earliest, leaving enough room for “the leftist opposition” to challenge the referendum in the Constitutional Court, if they choose to do so, Fidesz communication official Bence Tuzson said, according to reports.
Speaking to state-owned all-news channel M1, Tuzson said pursuant to Hungarian laws and legal processes, the referendum cannot be held before September or even October, Hungarian online daily origo.hu reported.
Tuzson also said that governing party Fidesz has “no doubts about leftist parties challenging” the referendum initiated by the Hungarian government.
The Hungarian Supreme Court (Curia) ruled yesterday that the referendum can be held as it qualified it as a matter Hungarian sovereignty. After the National Economic Committee (NVB) passed the referendum question with nine voting in favor and three voting against, it was brought before the Curia by opposition parties but received a greenlight.
The referendum question translates as: “Do you want the European Union to prescribe the settlement of non-Hungarian citizens into Hungary without the approval of the Hungarian Parliament?”

Whose Time Is It?
This WaPost article on Black Monday highlights a rarely remarked-on workplace transformation. As work moves from physical production to creative effort and personal interaction, employers are paying not for time but for output. With the boss's permission "work time" often encompasses personal activities, from chatting with colleagues to shopping online.
Postell Carter, a database manager for the New Israel Fund in the District, squeezes online shopping trips into his day in bits and pieces. "Generally every couple of hours I'll take a little break," he said, adding that he might go online to buy clothes for his kids or flowers for his wife. It rarely takes more than 10 minutes, he said.
He plans to start his Christmas shopping in earnest this week.
Carter said his boss is easygoing about online shopping, as employers increasingly are. Several major local companies said they are fine with employees doing personal errands on the job as long as they do not abuse the privilege.
"We actually think it's productive if they do it that way instead of running out to a suburban mall and stretching the one-hour lunch into two," said Bob Dobkin, a spokesman for Pepco, which has 2,500 employees in the area. "We do think it promotes a better employee relationship."
Workplace consultants say employers' attitudes about online shopping are evolving, generally in favor of giving more leeway to employees. Where many companies once blocked access to high-volume shopping sites, for example, they now use threshold software that simply limits an employee's time on such sites, said Susan Larson, vice president of global threat analysis and research for SurfControl, which makes filtering software for workplaces. Today, she said, companies are more worried about employees bringing viruses into an office network by shopping online than they are about reduced productivity.
Blurring home and work can make work much more pleasant. But it can also make people feel like they're always at work. Social critics (and harried employees) who complain about the "overworked American" rarely consider how much personal time employees are consuming on the job.
Compared to service workers, manufacturing employees have far less flexibility on the job, because each has to integrate his or her production with everyone else's, and with an often-continuous flow of material. When I interviewed managers at American Leather for my NYT feature on the company, they noted that the American-born children of their immigrant factory employees rarely wanted to work in the plant and, when they did take jobs at American Leather, second-generation plant employees quit. Even when they have no white-collar options, they prefer lower-paid but less structured positions in retailing.
