America's Got Talent YouTube screenshot
Utah's One Voice Children's Choir performed "Let It Go" from Disney's "Frozen" Tuesday night during a live performance on NBC's "America's Got Talent."
The 100 choir members, ranging from ages 7-17, wore white as they sang the melody that brought them YouTube success earlier this year. Lexi Walker, 12, performed a solo in the choir's shortened version of the song.
Although judge Howard Stern enjoyed the choir's original June 22 performance, he was not impressed with their performance Tuesday night. However, judges Mel B and Heidi Klum enjoyed it.
A total of 12 acts performed Tuesday, five of which will be voted through to the next round. The results will be announced Wednesday on NBC at 7 p.m. MST.
Regardless of what Wednesday brings, the choir expressed their appreciation for the opportunity on Twitter. Leading up to the live performance Tuesday, many wished the choir luck, including Gov. Gary Herbert.
Best of luck tonight to Utah's own @1VoiceChildrens Choir - showcased on America's Got Talent (NBC) tonight at 8:00 MST.— Gary R. Herbert (@GovHerbert) August 20, 2014
Update: The One Voice Children's Choir was not selected to move through to the next round Wednesday night. After the results were announced, the choir posted about the experience on Facebook.

032c Takes on Buzzfeed: 5 Cats That Guard the Ancient City of Ephesos
The ancient Greek city of Ephesos, on the Ionian coast of Western Turkey, is ruled by cats. Two millennia ago, Ephesos was a dense seaport with a complex system of government, a library, running water, a sewer system, two stadiums, restaurants, brothels, and a cemetery for gladiators. The Gospel of John might have been written in Ephesos, and St. Paul penned his letters to the Corinthians here. Some believe it’s where Mary, the mother of Jesus, died. Though today’s only permanent residents of this lost metropolis – only 15 percent has been excavated since the Austrians began digging here 120 years ago – are the cats that dominate the antique remains like the last species in a world far away in time.
The book CATS OF EPHESOS, by archeologist Sabine Ladstätter and photographer Lois Lammerhuber, combines the history of the mythical site with recent images of the cats that inhabit it. “The pictures were supposed to show the ancient city,” says Ladstätter, “but the cats were present in every frame.” They’re not recent arrivals, either. The oldest evidence of wild cats in Ephesos are bones found during excavations on the Çukuriçi H.yük from the late seventh millennium B.C. Roman domestic cats were found in the theater, St. Luke’s grave, and the Vedius Gymnasium; a kitten lost its life here in a Turkish well in the 15th century A.D. Like lissome-bodied phantoms of the past, today’s cats of Ephesos are aloof to the world around them yet guardians of the secrets unknown in its ruins.
Cats of Ephesos is published by Edition Lammerhuber (Baden, Austria, 2013).

Yamaha is promoting a new unmanned helicopter called the Fazer RG2.
The Fazer RG2 system can be used for missions such as environmental survey, mining survey, aerial photography, volcano observation, and disaster relief, says the company.
So far, Yamaha has built four units, which it offers out for hire. The helicopter is powered by a four-stroke engine derived from a motorcycle. The company says it has been involved with developing unmanned helicopters since 2000.
Yamaha adds that the system has a number of attributes that make it superior to an electrically powered system, such as a 90km range, 2,800m operating ceiling, and a maximum payload of 35kg.

Book Bags to go home this week. Apologies for yesterday, these book-bags have now gone home.
In Reception we to encourage children to recognise initial letter sounds (phonemes) we send home alphabet books before reading books. This is for the children to associate an initial sound (phoneme) with a picture; eg a for apple, b for ball etc. The children do not need to sound out the words just get used to them. We will also be including a picture based book for the children to tell the story. This is called Lilac Level
Lilac level books are wordless books that tell a story through pictures alone. They help children to develop speaking and listening skills through creating and telling stories. Your child is just beginning to discover the excitement of books.Although these books have no words, they are an important introduction to reading. Please encourage your child to:
Look at the pages in order, and talk about what is happening on the left hand page before the right hand page.
Talk about what is happening on each page, rather than just talking about what they see in each picture.
Tell you who or what the book is about.

Even if the unveiling of, and consequent sale of, the new iPhone 7 is nine months away, rumors are still rife about the possible features that the next generation iPhone will exhibit.
A few weeks ago we told you that according to the Japanese internet site called Otakara, Apple was planning to churn out its newest iPhone model with no headphone jack. It will instead offer an all purpose Lightning connector which will help with connectivity as well as any audio outputs.
However, a few recent rumors are now claiming similar findings regarding Apple’s next generation mobile phone. If Chinese websites Anzhuo and Feng are to be believed then this is very true, according to supply chain rumors.
Both of these websites say that apparently the new iPhone will not have a headphone jack and that instead of the previous Apple headphones, the Cupertino-based company will be releasing wireless headphones that operate via Bluetooth technology. (We should remind you again however that any such unverified rumors or news should be treated with caution as they might not have any truth to them.)
Compared to this the original report by Mac Otakara claimed that Apple would be soon releasing EarPods which are Lightning-equipped. It should be noted that Apple already produces Powerbeats 2, Solo 2 and Studio headphones, which are all wireless headphones manufactured under the Beats brand. Apple produced MFi Program specifications in the June of 2014. This technology allows third party manufacturers, like Philips Fidelio M2L and Fidelio NC1L, to build on and create Lightning-equipped headphones.
The report also says that the Lightning connector will also have a digital to audio converter (or a DAC) which will provide compatibility with wired headphones that use a 3.5mm headphone jack. It may also be entirely possible that Apple will also introduce to it’s consumers the opportunity to charge their iPhones wirelessly because with Lightning-equipped headphones it will not be possible to listen to music and charge the iPhone 7 simultaneously.
The fan base of Apple has exhibited ambivalence about this new “possible” feature of the iPhone 7. Some claim that in ditching such an old standard Apple is making a bad move, while others think that Apple’s unique innovative streak requires that such changes be bought to it’s products over time.

The trail will be open throughout the May half-term holiday.
Notcutts’centre manager, Chris Holt, said: “Gardening is a fantastic hobby and we are buzzing with excitement to share our bee facts with children this half term.

Adobe Systems (NASDAQ:ADBE): Following the death of Abode’s Creative Suite, the company has announced that it is also taking the axe to its Fireworks prototyping and design tool. Instead, the company “will focus on developing new tools to meet our customers needs,” including a pressure-sensitive stylus for tablets, dubbed Project Mighty, and Napoleon, a digital ruler and guide.
Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU): Baidu is opening its wallet and shelling out $370 million for the online video business PPStream, which the company will merge into iQiyi, Baidu’s existing video platform. The resulting company will form China’s largest online video platform by the number of mobile users and video viewing time. The sale will likely finalize during the second half of 2013.

DES MOINES, Iowa -- Over 90 farmers were recognized at the Iowa State Fair on Wednesday for their efforts to improve and protect the environment in the state.
The award was a joint effort of the Governor's Office, the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, and the Department of Natural Resources.
Governor Terry Branstad, Lt. Governor Kim Reynolds, Ag Secretary Bill Northey, and Chuck Gipp, Director of the DNR were all on hand to congratulate the winners.
The competition is now in its fourth year. It was created to help farmers tell the story of what they are doing to preserve the quality of the land and drinking water in Iowa.
James Andrew farms in Greene County. He said he has tried to take the best care of his land possible, and to be a good example to neighboring farmers.
He said he has constructed terraces to cut down on soil erosion. Three quarters of the expenses for that came from his own pocket, with some assistance from the government.

The world of books is as deep as it is wondrous. It’s amazing how books written centuries ago can still start a spark in our modern minds. C.S. Lewis once said, “It is a good rule after reading a new book, never to allow yourself another new one till you have read an old one in between.” We asked our writing team to consider a book not published in the last century that has most impacted their life. Today, Matt Becklo discusses one of the leading existentialist philosophers, Soren Kierkegaard’s selection of essays entitled Papers and Journals, which led Matt into a deeper understanding of Christ.
I don’t remember how the Penguin Classics collection of philosopher Søren Kierkegaard’s Papers and Journals ended up in my possession. But what I can never forget is just how much it changed the course of my life.
I first read Kierkegaard in high school after picking up Walter Kaufmann’s Existentialism from Dostoevsky to Sartre at a local bookstore. I didn’t know a whole lot about existentialism at the time, but I knew that philosophy dealt with questions about existence. I was starting to think seriously about those questions, so existentialism seemed like an obvious place to start. The excerpts from Nietzsche and Dostoevsky were electrifying, but it was Kierkegaard that really stuck with me. Here was the model philosopher, a solitary individual who unleashed the full fervor of his mind against the untruths of “the crowd.” He had a fierce spiritual sense that cut through conventional religiosity like a hot knife, and he reflected as passionately about reflection as he did about life itself. He was fascinating to read.
When I picked up Kierkegaard’s Papers and Journals as a college student, I quickly went from fascinated to fervent. The intellectually serious philosophy I had been reading seemed to lack the drama of the absolute, and at the time, I saw the absolutes of religion as lacking intellectual seriousness. But Kierkegaard had both in spades. And while Kierkegaard the writer can be dizzying (he often wrote under various pseudonyms and through irony, satire, and indirect communication), I found this collection of brief journal entries very readable and accessible, and kept returning to it again and again.
There was something about Kierkegaard’s anguished personality that captured my attention as well. His journals are rife with the anxiety and dread that inspired some of his classic works. “The whole of existence makes me anxious, from the smallest fly to the mysteries of the Incarnation,” he writes in one entry. “Great is my distress, unlimited.” His anxiety is outmatched only by the melancholy he inherited from his devout father. Kierkegaard proposed to Regine Olsen in 1840, but suddenly and mysteriously broke off the engagement less than a year later—and many suspect it was his “faithful mistress” of melancholy that led to the decision.
That was Kierkegaard’s first decisive break with a customary life in Denmark, but certainly not his last. His journals also reveal the two main antagonists that motivated him as a writer: Hegel, an influential philosopher in Danish academia that he saw as living in a shack outside of his own intellectual castle, and the “Christendom” of the Danish Church, which he saw as spiritless and out of touch with Christian revelation. Watching Kierkegaard take aim at these targets with his call for total personal commitment helped me understand what his corpus was all about and why it played such a key role in the history of existentialism.
But what intrigued me most about the journals was Kierkegaard’s fiery indictment of the press and “the public” between 1846 and 1847 after he had been viciously lampooned in a satirical paper. “There was no public in antiquity,” Kierkegaard wrote bitterly, “not in passionate times (then it was the nation, parties, and so on, i.e. full-bodied individual associations of active people). The public is a creation of the press when the latter alone is to be active in a passionless age.” These entries led me directly to Two Ages: A Literary Review, Kierkegaard’s assessment of the modern zeitgeist. Where earlier ages were defined by passion, devotion, and decisive action, he argues, the present age is defined by reflection, superficiality, and an “instant publicity” that “levels” the individual. I was so taken by these arguments and their parallels with the internet age that I decided to write my undergraduate thesis—as an English major, no less—on them.
But Kierkegaard’s Papers and Journals did more than draw me deeper into philosophy. Indirectly, it also drew me back into my Catholic faith.
At first glance, this seems like some kind of mistake. Kierkegaard was a man of faith, but his radical emphasis on subjectivity and the absurd are far from Catholic tradition. Peter Kreeft, a philosopher and convert to Catholicism from Calvinism, recalls: “The only person who almost kept me Protestant was Kierkegaard. . . . [He] offered a brilliant, consistent alternative to Catholicism, but such a quirkily individualistic one, such a pessimistic and antirational one. . . . ”
What linked Kierkegaard to my Catholic upbringing was a chance encounter with Walker Percy’s Lost in the Cosmos. I knew Percy was Catholic, so when I first opened his self-help satire, the epigraph from Nietzsche threw me for a loop. (What business does a Catholic writer have agreeing with Nietzsche on anything?) As I kept reading, Percy surprised me again. The book was bizarre and brilliant but also wise. He had a wry Kierkegaardian perspective on the derangement of modern life—its scientism, spirituality, morality, consumerism, and entertainment—and the spiritual malaise that both fed it and was fed by it. (Percy, I later learned, was best known for his 1961 novel The Moviegoer, which opens with a quotation from Kierkegaard on despair and draws inspiration from the philosopher throughout.)
But the influence of Kierkegaard on Percy was more than philosophical; it was also religious. Percy, a Columbia-trained physician and former agnostic, cited Kierkegaard’s essay “The Difference between a Genius and an Apostle” as a key reason for his conversion to Catholicism in 1947. There were other elements in place when he read Kierkegaard—his family history of depression, his reading of Aquinas, his memories of a roommate going to Mass, his love for literature and linguistics—just as there were other elements in place for me when I stumbled on Percy. But Kierkegaard’s essay was the spark that lit the fire. Man is not an organism or a consumer, Percy saw, but a wayfarer, a castaway looking for “news from across the seas”—and the apostolic faith was that good news. Ultimately, as a Catholic, Percy came to see faith as a form of knowledge, and the Church as the sacramental bearer of this scandalous knowledge to the world. On these points, he parted ways with his great teacher. But in his writings, he continued to present his Catholic faith in a Kierkegaardian way, which in turn eventually sparked a flame still smoldering in my own soul. More than ever, I felt myself called to think with the mind of the Church and enter into its mission.
Kierkegaard is not regarded by most academics as a particularly important or serious figure. At best, he is a footnote to Hegel; at worst, a writer that only an angsty teenager could find valuable. (Before becoming a filmmaker, Terrence Malick wanted to write a doctoral thesis on the concept of “the world” in Kierkegaard and others. His adviser Gilbert Ryle told him that he should work on something more “philosophical.” He didn’t listen.) But sometimes things look right-side up only because the world itself is upside down. Kierkegaard’s work is a call to search for the great hidden truths of your life on earth, not simply accept the surface truths pronounced to you by “the experts”—and nothing in all of philosophy could be more important or serious. The angst of Kierkegaard’s Papers and Journals caught my attention as a teenager, but not simply because I was an angsty teenager. It was because, in my angst, I had started to embark on that search.
And with the help of Kierkegaard and eventually Percy, the search led me back toward Catholicism and its founder, the person Kierkegaard in his journals called “truth absolutely”: Jesus Christ, the shepherd to the lost sheep of the cosmos.

The Wayside Inn Restaurant
The food we delicious. The view is great. Wish we went there sooner. Now i know where to eat in that area :)
We've had several dinners at The Wayside and we can't recommend it highly enough. Sara, the proprietor, keeps a close watch on the dining experience. She also mixes a mean martini. The menu is creative, healthy, and absolutely delicious. We've had amazing short ribs, a divine chicken thigh-wrapped-in-bacon dish, a delicious Bolognese and fresh and surprising salads. Wayside is a hidden gem. The chef is an artist. You will love your dining experience.
A spectacular meal! Our whole party enjoyed it, including one vegan diner and one extremely picky kid. The staff was attentive and understanding of our rambunctious children, the atmosphere was festive and fun, and the food was beyond amazing.
Beautiful historic inn atmosphere with superb service and delicious food in an area where there aren’t too many choices. My only tiny critiques were to give some small plates out with the bruschetta for sharing and that the portions overall were pretty small. I got a salad with grilled salmon. The salad was an appetizer size. Would suggest offering half and full size portions with correlating prices. The piano music was a nice touch for a weeknight. I would definitely eat here again.
All meals were excellent from the steak to the lamb shank and chiken cordon blue. The chocolate pecan pie was enjoyed by all.
What a great find and we will be back. Four of us were all impressed. Food was perfectly prepared and service was exceptional. Plenty of parking as well.
My wife and I totally enjoyed our time at The Wayside Inn. Sarah and her team were very friendly and truly took care of everything, especially additional ice! Our room was lovely filled with charming furnishings. The room was clean and we could hear the flowing river...very relaxing!
The breakfast (included) was great. Sarah was the breakfast chef and made a delicious 3 egg omelet.
We ate dinner one night and we were not disappointed. I had a mushroom quesadilla - a major hit for me! My wife had a salad which was very good. As expected, my wife had the cherry braised beef short ribs and she raved how good it was. I had the duck and was very happy it came out a perfect medium rare.
Being able to talk with Sarah, I heard her vision of what she would like the inn to become. We can't wait to go back and see what improvements come next. Treat yourself, go to The Wayside Inn!
The facility is rather worn, yet clean, comfortable, and homey as you settle in to the country setting.
Service was very good and attentive as all special requests were honored.
Our meals had good flavor, and those surrounding us looked appetizing.
Portions were on the small side: very few ‘chips’ with the fish and chips for my partner, and while my salmon
filet was a good size and nicely prepared, I ran out of the (side) salad it was served atop.
This was a satisfying meal, although not sure we’d seek it out again when we return to the area next year.
Although my Wayside Burger was very good, my wife's salad with grilled chicken was not. The salad part was OK but the chicken had a rubbery processed texture which made it uneatable. Our waitress was very good and the prices were reasonable but , we left dissatisfied.
Wayside Restaurant is located on a river with beautiful views. It is a familiar run establishment. The menu varies accurate to season. Food portions are generous. Focus is on New England comfort food. Delicious options!
Beautiful restaurant and surrounding scenery. Wonderful food and service. Comfortable temperature inside and music was perfect (both level of sound and choice of music).
Good food. Service was great.
This restaurant needs updating (broken window, rusty and broken radiator, chipped paint, etc.) and cleaning (dirty drink ware, streaky windows, etc.) . We ordered chicken parmesan, and it was disgusting - the “sauce” on the pasta had the consistency of water (we could splash it on the table just by hitting it with a fork), the sauce on top of the chicken was thick tomato paste. The chicken was too thin, and was black on almost the entire top half of the chicken, it was that burnt. The service was fine, our waiter was polite. The outside eating area looked nice.
The Wayside Inn is a wonderful spot for a delicious and relaxing meal overlooking the river while watching humming birds in the garden.
The Dining Room at the Wayside Inn, with its large windows, offers a beautiful view of the gardens and the peaceful, flowing Ammonoosuc River (optional outside seating is available). The food was outstanding and the service attentive but not bothersome. A definite high recommendation!!
This was one of the worst restaurant meals we’ve had in years! It was in the bottom five or so I recall - ever. I got MSG symptoms from my pasta dish, which means cheap ingredients. “Cream” sauce on pasta appeared to have been made from evaporated milk. Salad tomatoes too old and tired to try. Waiter didn’t know menu or much of anything about food and drink. Construction materials just outside the view window had been sitting on the deck a long while. Ugh, I can’t think of anything nice to say. We paid the bill and headed out to another restaurant for a glass of wine so we could end our evening on a better note - which we did.
As other recent Wayside Inn visitors have noted, the Inn is showing some age as far as the decor and furniture. (We hadn't explored the lodging areas while we were there and have no comment on their condition.) However, the food was really a hit for our recent party of eight at the restaurant. And I'm willing to give the "ambience" at least a score of "good" as the view of the river through the large windows is just as I had remembered from my previous visits.
I've got high hopes for the future of the Wayside Inn, if they're willing to give it at least a nominal face-lift as soon as they're able.
The atmosphere was beautiful and the staff was friendly. Food was nothing great but prices were decent and affordable. Highly recommend!
The new owners are doing a wonderful job. We were a party of four somewhat picky eaters and we were all delighted with our meals. The value was exceptional. It was April and very quiet on an early Thursday night. We will be returning, and soon!
The food and service was good - particularly a "special" mac and cheese dish with dates, gruyere, carmelized onions and mushrooms. Delish!!
Excellent dining experience, and Sarah has done a great job!
Food was cold, service horrible and restaurant was messy. Would never go again
A bit outdated but that's to be expected for this area. Food was delicious, though the crab cakes were our least favorite item. Outdated decor but great food for groups. We had 3 kids, 4 adults and were very comfortable.
We were pleasantly surprised as the restaurant is in an Inn in a very casual setting. The food was outstanding!
Excellent food, new owner is turning around this hotel and restaurant and is making progress in the restaurant. The pie was homemade and the entrees were delicious. Although the decor is outdated and needs to be refreshed, give this place a try, you will not be disappointed.
This is a casual place with a lovely setting. The dining room is situated right on the river with a fabulous view out of the huge windows. The food was good and prices as well. Very friendly staff and good service.
Food was great and you sit in a dining room with a wonderful view of the river.
A lot of history in this old Inn.
Great experience. Great menu, great service , terrific view and extraordinary value.
The Wayside Inn Restaurant is rated 4.2 stars by 28 OpenTable diners.

Natural Raw Sienna. Pigment number PY43, single pigment half-pan watercolor. Fits in all palettes designed for half-pans.
Since the Renaissance, I have been one of the brown pigments most widely used by artists, but I met some cave artists as well. And many in between. My favourite place on this planet is in Italy, and I gon my name Sienna from the Italian ‘terra di Siena,’ meaning “earth of Siena.” Siena, a small city in the region of Italy known as Tuscany, also used to manufacture the pigment. You can find me also in France and Germany, but that is another story. I have dear friends with big names like Raphaels, Edvard Munch, Georges Seurant un Rembrant. Check out our adventures by googling “Sistine Madona” (1512), “Madonna” (1894), “La Grande Jatte” and look for brown. Its me.
Sienna is a clay containing iron oxide, called limonite, which in its natural state has a yellowish color. In addition to iron oxide, natural or raw sienna also contains about five percent of manganese oxide, which makes it darker than ochre. The pigment sienna was known and used, in its natural form, by the ancient Romans. During the Renaissance, it was noted by the most widely read author about painting techniques, Giorgio Vasari, under the name terra rossa. It became, along with umber and yellow ochre, one of the standard browns used by artists from the 16th to 19th centuries.
By the 1940s, the traditional sources in Italy were nearly exhausted. Much of today’s sienna production is carried out in the Italian islands of Sardinia and Sicily, while other major deposits are found in the Appalachian Mountains, where it is often found alongside the region’s iron deposits. It is also still produced in the French Ardennes, in the small town of Bonne Fontaine near Ecordal.
Our raw sienna pigment is naturally granulating – dark parts of iron oxide settle and light yellow clay particles flow creating earthy and natural paint.
Semi-transparent, granulating brownish-yellow pigment. Mixes nicely with other natural and human-made pigments. For best performance add a few drops of water some minutes before starting to work with it. It will reactivate the pigment and will be more fluid.
All our watercolors are handmade from pigment or pigment mixes, binders, and essential oils as conservative. Binder is made by ourselves from gum arabic, natural honey, and water. Our watercolors have a flowery scent, with lemongrass as top note and sandalwood in the base note.

Biodegradable and food grade cleaners are important in several different industries, including food processing, agriculture, and packaging. These cleaners are specially formulated to be safe and effective for use in environments where food is processed, packaged, or stored.
One of the main benefits of biodegradable and food grade cleaners is that they are safe for use in food processing environments. Traditional cleaning chemicals can contain harmful ingredients that can potentially contaminate food products and pose a risk to human health. Biodegradable and food grade cleaners, on the other hand, are formulated with ingredients that are safe for use in food-related environments and are less likely to leave harmful residue.
Another important benefit of these cleaners is that they are environmentally friendly. They are biodegradable and do not contain harmful chemicals that can harm the environment. They are designed to break down quickly and safely in the environment, which reduces the risk of harm to wildlife and other living organisms.
Food grade cleaners are also effective in removing a wide range of food-related contaminants, such as bacteria, mold, and yeast. These cleaners are specifically formulated to remove food-related contaminants and are designed to ensure that food products are safe for human consumption.
In the agriculture industry, biodegradable and food grade cleaners can be used to clean equipment and tools in the field without affecting the soil or the surrounding ecosystem. It helps to maintain the safety and quality of the food products and protect the environment at the same time.

Hi! My name is Elizabeth, and I love comics!
While my nights as a child were spent reading Calvin and Hobbes, Foxtrot, and The Far Side treasuries until I had them memorized, I didn’t get into reading comic books until much later in life.
My first introduction to comics came during the summer before my senior year of high school, when I first read Art Spigelman’s Maus. It was unlike anything I had ever read, and I remember being intrigued by such a powerful story told in an innovative way. After graduating college, I scored my dream job working at a public library, and found a source for my growing interest in comics. I dove deeply into a world that I had missed out on for so long. I found that I loved the combination of text and art working together to tell a story. Regardless of what kind of story I might have wanted, I could find it in a comic format. Which, brings me to an important point:
GRAPHIC NOVELS AND COMICS ARE A FORMAT, NOT A GENRE!
Repeat this until it haunts your dreams. The comic format can be used to tell any sort of story the author wants, and I’m hoping to expose you to the wide variety of stories available.
Another point of business is graphic novels vs comics. Some people draw a distinction between them that comics are (at least at first) published in the traditional serialized floppy comic book format, while graphic novels are published like a novel in hardback or paperback. In my opinion, I think “graphic novel” is mainly a marketing term that many people use to give comics an air of respect, which I don’t think it needs. I use the terms interchangeably, though comics is my preferred term.
I’m hoping through these posts to introduce you to the wonderful world of comics. We’ll cover some classics that everyone should read, do deep dives on some of my favorite comic creators, and whatever else y’all are interested in reading!
Elizabeth Weislak is an avid reader and lover of comics, working as a youth services librarian in North Carolina.

Wisconsin U.S. Reps. Ron Kind (D) and Glenn Grothman (R) both voted for a resolution to block a rail strike and force railroad unions to accept an agreement led by the Biden administration. The House passed the resolution 290-137 with bipartisan support.
A dozen rail unions representing 115,000 workers are involved. Four unions rejected the agreement, which provides a 24% wage increase over five years and five annual $1,000 lump-sum payments, over frustrations that paid sick leave was not included.
The House passed a separate resolution to provide seven days of paid sick leave to railroad workers. All Wisconsin Republicans voted against it and all Democrats voted for it.
The Senate approved the broader measure without the sick leave component on Thursday. Wisconsin U.S. Sens. Ron Johnson (R) and Tammy Baldwin (D) voted for it, but Johnson voted no on the sick leave measure.

Last week I attended the intimate launch of designer Savannah Miller’s eponymous label ‘Savannah’ in London’s Fitzroy Square. The room was filled with crisp autumn leaves, sparkling champagne and a bevy of beautiful bright young things (including Irina Lazareanu and Clara Paget), all excited by Savannah’s first solo project since departing Twenty8Twelve, the label she co-created with her sister, Sienna. The look book contains beyond gorgeous shots of the effortlessly cool Dree Hemmingway (above and below) wearing some of the 40-piece collection which is available exclusively here from Nelly.com. The clothes are bohemian, edgy and surprisingly affordable – nothing is more expensive than £175 and I particularly like the Brinton Skirt, the Jerry Knit Jumper and I just adore the dark purple velvet Inamay Dress. Make sure to check out all the heels and boots - they are reeeeeally rock'n'roll.
Below: Savannah’s sweet swallow logo was echoed in this giant bird installation, “Swallows only nest in a house of Love" explained Savannah, whilst wearing her favourite piece from the collection, the Michelle Dress, with Olivia Palermo and Matthew Williamson.

JetBlue's in-flight options consist of gate-to-gate Fly-Fi service, offering over one hundred channels of DIRECTV, Sirius XM Radio, and movies, and on the Airbus A321, a 15″ interactive video screen which is not available on the rest of the fleet. JetBlue's partnership with Amazon lets customers watch Amazon Prime videos by connecting to Wi-Fi and downloading the Amazon Video app on their mobile phone or tablet. The in-flight WiFi under the "Fly-Fi" network is complimentary on all flights, at speeds of 12–15 megabits per second.
To Thuvan Dihn he explained that he had been but testing an invention of his own with which his flier was equipped--a clever improvement of the ordinary Martian air compass, which, when set for a certain destination, will remain constantly fixed thereon, making it only necessary to keep a vessel's prow always in the direction of the compass needle to reach any given point upon Barsoom by the shortest route.
On March 19, 2008, jetBlue added Orlando, Florida as a gateway focus city to international destinations in the Caribbean, Mexico, and South America. New international routes from Orlando International Airport include Cancún, Mexico, Bridgetown, Barbados, Bogotá, Colombia, Nassau, Bahamas, San José, Costa Rica, and Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. In conjunction with the addition of new routes the airline will continue significant expansion of operations at Orlando International Airport including a planned 292-room lodge that will house trainees attending the existing "JetBlue University" training facility (opened in 2015).
March 27, 2012: Flight 191 en route from New York City, to Las Vegas performed an emergency landing at Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport after the captain, Clayton Osbon, was locked out of the cockpit and subdued by passengers after he started acting erratically and ranting about terrorist. It is believed that Osbon suffered from an unspecified mental breakdown, and was treated by Northwest Texas Healthcare System. There were no fatalities.

On March 22, 2010, jetBlue announced it would remain in the New York City area, in Long Island City, because of the airline's historical links to the city, the cost of staff relocations, the airline's desire to retain access to financial markets, and because Aer Lingus and Lufthansa, jetBlue's marketing partners, fly into JFK Airport. jetBlue planned to combine its Forest Hills and Darien, Connecticut offices, together about 1,000 employees, into about 200,000 square feet (19,000 m2) in the Brewster Building by mid-2012.
For many years, analysts had predicted that jetBlue's growth rate would become unsustainable. Despite this, the airline continued to add planes and routes to the fleet at a brisk pace. In addition in 2006, the IAM (International Association of Machinists) attempted to unionize JetBlue's "ramp service workers", in a move that was described by JetBlue's COO Dave Barger as "pretty hypocritical", as the IAM opposed jetBlue's creation when it was founded as New Air in 1998. The union organizing petition was dismissed by the National Mediation Board because fewer than 35 percent of eligible employees supported an election.
In September 2009, JetBlue made changes to its TrueBlue program. In the new program, members receive three points for every dollar spent toward a flight, excluding taxes and fees, plus an additional three points for every dollar spent on a flight if booked online directly on the JetBlue.com website. Additional points are awarded if the member uses the Barclay's issued JetBlue Mastercard credit card to purchase the flight. The price of flights in points depend on the fare of the flight in U.S. dollars. The new program launched on November 9, 2009.

For theatre director Stephanie van Batum I made a visual identity for her performance called: 'Don't worry Be Yoncé'. I loved working for Stephanie van Batum,
because she inspired me to make something feminine, powerful and bold. Just like she is and her performance is all about. I used the style of Beyoncé and her special typography.

At some point in the next 15 million years, the Cascadia subduction zone (CSZ) will no long pose an earthquake threat to Northern California and the Pacific Northwest. That’s not a long time geologically speaking, but from a human perspective it means that in the foreseeable future, the CSZ threat is real.
The CSZ marks the convergent boundary between the Juan de Fuca plate system and the North American plate. It extends from Cape Mendocino to Vancouver Island and west to the Gorda, Juan de Fuca and Explorer ridges. The ridges are offset by transform faults, giving the western boundary of this plate system a jagged appearance. These transforms also divide the Juan de Fuca into three distinct geographic regions: Gorda (in the south), Juan de Fuca (the central and largest region), and the Explorer (the smallest segment offshore of Canada).
I was recently asked if researchers still work on the CSZ and the Juan de Fuca plate system. YES. I recently participated in a workshop focused on the Gorda region in Northern California and Southern Oregon. About 30 scientists attended with a wide range of backgrounds including seismology, paleoseismology, geology, engineering, and geodesy. The purpose was to summarize what we know, where we agree/disagree and the top priorities for future research.
There is nothing wrong about disagreements in science. Without disagreement, we would never question or test ideas and science would advance very slowly. Awareness of the Cascadia subduction zone and the potential for great earthquakes is less than four decades old. The last Cascadia earthquake was more than three centuries ago and our information about that event is incomplete. We have tantalizing pieces of data from tsunami sediment deposits, offshore and onshore geology, oral accounts from Native Peoples, and modeling studies. But just like a person attempting to describe an elephant when limited to a small area, it is difficult to build a complete picture of the beast.
There were many areas of agreement. The central or Juan de Fuca region offshore of Oregon and Washington is the only part that is behaving like a classic plate with earthquakes concentrated on the boundaries and a quake-free interior. The Gorda and Explorer regions are riddled with intraplate earthquakes. Since 2000, over 200 earthquakes of magnitude 4 and larger have occurred within the Explorer plate, including nine in the M6 range. The Gorda plate is likewise earthquake prone. More than 130 M4 and larger earthquakes have occurred with the plate’s interior including a 7.2 and three in the M6 range since 2000. Two 5.9s were recorded only three weeks ago far offshore of the California-Oregon border. In contrast, only nine intraplate quakes were recorded within the central Juan de Fuca plate in this same time period.
The rate of intraplate earthquake activity in the Gorda and Explorer interiors have led some scientists to argue they shouldn’t be called “plates” and “deformation zone” is a more apt lable. But here is where some big questions and a few disagreements lie. How do the earthquakes within the plates affect what will happen in the next Great Cascadia earthquake?
Like most of you reading this column, the southern CSZ is what most concerns me. I live right on top of the CSZ interface. It’s only eight miles beneath my house. This is the interface that will break in the next Cascadia earthquake. I’d like to know how strong the shaking will be, how big a tsunami can we expect, and what will happen to our infrastructure.
The answers to the thirst two questions lie in the stress accumulation and the properties of underlying rocks and rock structures. That is what determines the characteristics of rupture and how much of slip occurs beneath the sea floor. We can’t measure those variables directly, but we can measure surface deformation and estimate subsurface structure from geophysical studies.
I’m in the camp that believes the Gorda region differs from the Juan de Fuca in Oregon and Washington in several important ways. The CSZ fault plane is a gently dipping surface extending from the continental shelf offshore for 60 to 80 miles. In Humboldt County, perhaps a third of that fault plane is beneath land. By Central Oregon, it is entirely offshore. Second, the rate of plate convergence along the Southern Cascadia margin is less than further north. There is also evidence that this area experiences more partial ruptures (~M8-8.5) than areas further north. Partial ruptures and slower convergence to my mind suggests less slip in the next earthquake.
Everyone at the workshop agreed that Cascadia tsunamis reach our coast more quickly than in Central Oregon and Washington. Tsunamis are caused by slip beneath the seafloor, and we are just closer to the source zone. First tsunami surges could reach Humboldt, Del Norte and Curry County Oregon coasts in as little as ten minutes after the earthquake. We also agreed that this area will experience stronger ground shaking because some of the rupture zone is beneath populated areas.
Determining the likely height of a future tsunami is more difficult. Paleotsunami studies that map out the extent of previous CSZ tsunamis are the only direct measurement of what has happened in the past. But such studies require preservation of deposits that can easily be eroded on a dynamic landscape. The relative paucity of tsunami sands in Humboldt County convinces me that tsunami heights here are likely to be less than along the Oregon and Washington coasts.
We all agreed that learning more about our offshore environment, and particularly how the sea floor is deforming could be one of the best routes to getting a better handle on strain accumulation. So that is an avenue I will loudly lobby for. We also agreed that all of the jurisdictions along the Cascadia margin are working hard to update hazard information based on the best currently available science and that the best way to survive the shaking and the tsunami is to keep informed and prepare now.

Today, it's International Women's Day, as you will probably have noticed from social media posts. And we need it, because we aren't there yet.
08 maart 2023
We are hugely proud of all our employees, but on this day particularly of all the women at Teamplast. As a member of the executive board, Priscilla works hard to create equality within Teamplast and outside.
Houweling works alongside numerous amazing and inspiring women. To mark International Women's Day, they talked to a group of women with whom she works directly every day. Priscilla was one of those women, and rightly so in our opinion! In her own words, she shares her story and drive.
My name is Priscilla Koning, and I'm 34 years old. You could say that I am strong willed and am willing to give my opinion. That's much easier when you grow up supported by parents who encouraged me to develop a strong and independent personality. Even as a young girl, I hated injustice and inequality.
Personally, I was lucky to be able to start work in my father's business. Gerard and Gerhard gave me the opportunity to grow into an HR position in a workplace which is mainly occupied by men. Since early 2021, my brother and I were allowed to call ourselves co-owner, with me being the only woman on the board. By working in this position, I realise that I am not only able to advise, but also to influence the course and policy of our organisation. That means that I can really make a difference in being a better employer for our people. I can use my own position to set a good example to other employers.
In my opinion, there is too little diversity in management positions, and my mission is to show the world that women are more than capable of filling these positions. In recent years, I have been blessed with two daughters, who motivate me even more to actively contribute to this.
Let's create a safe workplace in which diversity is encouraged.

text: The early, preferably pre-clinical, identification of neurodegenerative diseases is important as treatment will be most successful before substantial neuronal loss. Here, we reasoned that functional brain changes as measured using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) will precede neurodegeneration. Three independent cohorts of patients with the genetic mutation leading to Huntington's Disease (HD) but without any clinical symptoms and matched controls performed three different fMRI tasks Sequential finger tapping engaged the motor system, which is primarily affected by HD, whereas a working-memory task and a task aiming to induce irritation represented the range of low- and high-level cognitive functions also affected by HD. Each diagnostic group of every cohort included 11-16 subjects. After segmentation into 76 cortical and 14 subcortical regions, we extracted functional connectivity patterns through pairwise correlation between the signals in the regions. The resulting coefficients were directly embedded as input to a pattern classifier aiming to separate controls from gene mutation carriers. Alternatively, graph-theory measures such as degree and clustering coefficient were used as features for the discrimination. Classification accuracy never outperformed the accuracy of a grouping based on parameter estimates from a general-linear model approach or a grouping based on features extracted from anatomical images as reported in a previous analysis. Despite good within-subject stability between two runs of the same task, a high between-subject variability led to chance-level accuracy. These results indicate that standard graph-metrics are insufficient to detect subtle disease related changes when within-group variability is high. Developing methods that reduce variability related to noise should be the focus of future studies.

Falling short on zzz’s is also a surefire way to put your waistline in jeopardy. That’s because sleep deprivation knocks your hunger hormones out of whack, leading to an increase in ghrelin, which stimulates appetite, and a decrease in leptin, which signals when you are satiated. What’s more, research has shown that when you aren’t well-rested, you’re also more likely to reach for junk food (hello Ben & Jerry’s!)—and it may even become harder for you to build muscle mass.
Studies have found that overweight people who ate a moderate-fat diet containing almonds lost more weight than a control group that didn’t eat nuts. Snacking once or twice a day is one of the easy ways to lose weight that helps stave off hunger and keeps your metabolism stoked. You can also pack up baby carrots or your own trail mix with the healthiest nuts you can eat, plus raisins, seeds, and dried fruit. Here are 30 healthy snacks that can help you lose weight.
Avoid sweetened drinks. Drinks that are sweetened, whether artificially or naturally, will have little nutritional value and add lots of empty calories to your diet. Do not drink fruit juice or other sweetened drinks. Even natural sugars will increase your daily calorie intake and prevent weight loss. If you chose to drink juice, do not exceed 4 oz per day (1/2 cup). Instead of drinking sweetened beverages throughout your day, drink unsweetened, calorie-free beverages. Some beverages to avoid include:
Listen to your mum - dieting is faddish. Instead, improve the "quite" to "all" healthy and eat only nutritionally balanced, healthy foods. Cut out all sweets and junk foods, apart from an occasional treat, as humans would have always done till recent times. The exercise is important, and include plenty of stealth exercise, such as taking the stairs instead of the elevator and cycling to the shops instead of driving, etc.
After dinner, wash all the dishes, wipe down the counters, turn out the light, and, if necessary, tape closed the cabinets and refrigerator. Late-evening eating significantly increases the overall number of calories you eat, a University of Texas study found. Learning how to stop late-night snacking can save 300 or more calories a day, or 31 pounds a year.
Fathi, Y., Faghih, S., Zibaeenezhad, M. J., & Tabatabaei, S. H. (2016, February). Kefir drink leads to a similar weight loss, compared with milk, in a dairy-rich non-energy-restricted diet in overweight or obese premenopausal women: A randomized controlled trial. European Journal of Nutrition, 55(1), 295–304. Retrieved from https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00394-015-0846-9
Instant oatmeal may be a lot quicker to make than traditional oats, but what you gain in convenience you lose in nutritional value. Many of the oatmeal’s healthy properties are stripped away in processing, explains Stephanie Lincoln, an eating psychology specialist and the founder and CEO of Fire Team Whiskey Military Health and Fitness. Plus, sugar is added during manufacturing. These two factors turn instant oatmeal into a high glycemic index food, making you feel hungry even after you’ve just eaten. One study found that people who ate instant oatmeal for breakfast instead of eggs were found to eat 81 percent more food during the day. And one thing you don’t want when you’re trying to lose weight is the munchies. Next, don’t miss these 42 easy tricks for losing weight fast.
Also some research shows that the human body is primed to consume most of its calories during daylight hours. But the lifestyle is problematic for many: Because family meals and dinners with friends often are scheduled for after sunset, "people who try to stop eating after 7pm can’t do it every day for the rest of their lives," says Dr. Seltzer, who supports an alternative strategy: Eating a hearty meal at your regular dinnertime.
Track your progress. Weigh yourself and measure your body fat and record your results prior to beginning 30-Day Shred. Always weigh yourself first thing in the morning on an empty stomach for better accuracy. You should expect to lose an average of one to two pounds a week, maybe more, depending on your behavior, according to the Mayo Clinic. Weigh and measure your body fat once a week and not every day. Record your weekly results in a journal.
It can actually help you cut back on calories. That's because capsaicin, a compound found in jalapeño and cayenne peppers, may (slightly) increase your body's release of stress hormones such as adrenaline, which can speed up your ability to burn calories. What's more, eating hot peppers may help slow you down. You're less likely to wolfed down that plate of spicy spaghetti — and therefore stay more mindful of when you're full. Some great adds besides hot peppers: ginger and turmeric.
Testing your limits brings about than just bragging rights. Lifting a heavier weight for fewer reps burns nearly twice as many calories during the two hours after your workout than lifting a lighter weight for more reps, according to research published in the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise. Feel smug in the knowledge you’re still torching calories in that 10am meeting.
7. Zigzag your calories. Cycling your calories, also known as zigzagging, is the process of eating more on certain days and less on others. If you always eat 1,800 calories, try eating 1,500 calories one day and 2,000 the next. As long as you create a weekly deficit, you should see the pounds drop. Much like shocking your muscles into working harder by introducing new exercises, it’s possible to shock your metabolism by zigzagging your calories.
On Monday, Steve Harvey announced he’s joining Dr. Ian’s Shredder Nation. The beloved multimedia comedian will be going on the plan for six weeks, documenting his weight loss on his nationally syndicated Steve Harvey Morning Show. Dr. Ian will appear on the show every Monday at 8:29 EST to talk about Harvey’s progress while doling out diet tips to the listeners.
Try a diet in which you consume 2200 calories (men) or 2000 calories (women) per day. This should cause a deficit sufficient for you to lose one or two pounds per week, depending on your activity level. Some women may require lower daily calorie intake, such as 1800 or 1500 a day. Start by limiting yourself to a 2000 calorie limit per day, and lower the limit if you do not see progress.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit ruled today that California can cut rates to doctors, pharmacists and other providers for serving Medi-Cal patients, overturning a lower court decision that blocked a state budget cut from last year.
A three-judge appeals court panel determined that U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has authority to determine whether California and other states can cut Medicaid rates -- the federal program of which Medi-Cal is part -- and still comply with the program's rules.
"The Medicaid program is a colossal undertaking, jointly funded by the federal government and the States," the 9th Circuit panel wrote. "Congress explicitly granted the Secretary authority to determine whether a State's Medicaid plan complies with federal law."
Sebelius approved California's cuts in October 2011, but U.S. District Court Judge Christina A. Snyder blocked them in December of last year. At the time, the cuts were expected to save $623 million annually.
California appealed the decision, and the 9th Circuit ruled in the state's favor today. It remains to be seen whether California will follow through with a 10 percent reduction to provider rates, and when that might occur.
Lynn S. Carman, who represents pharmacists as chief counsel for the Medicaid Defense Fund, said plaintiffs plan to ask the court for en banc review, meaning the full 9th Circuit bench would reconsider today's decision. If that is denied or the review does not block the rate cuts, Carman said his side would ask the U.S. Supreme Court to consider the case.
