Polarization Imaging Camera Applications
The polarization imaging camera can be used to cut the polarized components of glare and reflected light.
The polarization imaging camera is furnished with a C-mount,
a mount widely used in microscopy, therefore it can easily be attached to a microscope.
It is well suited to the observation and fixed quantity analysis of biological samples.
It is suitable for polarized light measurement of products related to the liquid crystal and for fixed quantity analysis of photoelastic materials e.g. acrylic etc.


Poet Jacob Scheier will read from his new poetry collection, Is This Scary?, followed by a conversation with Charlie Petch. The event will conclude with performances by spoken word poet, playwright and musician Charlie Petch and legendary poet and visual artist bill bissett. May 9 at 6 pm. http://us02web.zoom.us

After the remnants of Hurricane Michael knocked down a couple of our neighbors’ trees (see picture #6), they generously offered us some of the wood. It’s not every day that I have access to such big, beautiful oak logs, so I decided to use them for something more fun than firewood.

This week, I traveled to San Diego, California for a scientific conference. It was my first trip to San Diego–my first trip to anywhere in California, actually–so it was exciting to see a new part of the country. Even the flower beds around my hotel and the convention center were full of new and interesting things.
The meeting didn’t leave much time for sightseeing, but I managed to slip away one morning and take a bus up to Balboa Park, which houses the San Diego Zoo and a variety of gardens. I considered just wandering around the free areas of the park but eventually decided that I couldn’t miss the world famous zoo. That turned out to be the correct choice. In addition to being an amazing collection of endangered species (the zoo is famous for its captive breeding successes), the grounds are also a very fine botanical garden. The weather was cool, so the animals were active, and there were hardly any visitors. I had a good long visit with the pandas (red and giant), koalas, Tasmanian devils, komodo dragon, giant tortoises, okapis, elephants, jaguars, and many other animals, but I took more pictures of the plants.
Today being Saturday, here are six things that caught my eye in San Diego–garden related, of course.
1. Flowering trees.
November is clearly not the best time of year for blooming trees, but nevertheless, I saw some beautiful tropical and subtropical flowers.
2. Bird of Paradise flowers
Strelitzia reginae (bird of paradise) and Strelitzia nicolai (white bird of paradise) were growing (and blooming) all over town. S. reginae is my wife’s favorite flower, so when we were first married I tried growing some from seed. After fifteen years, I managed to get a only single flower from an enormous clump that took up a lot of real estate in the greenhouse, so I gave up. Clearly, flowering is not a problem when they are grown outside in San Diego.
3. The Botanical Building
The Botanical Building is a Balboa Park landmark that was originally built for the 1915-1916 Panama-California Exposition. Before seeing it, I had assumed it was some sort of greenhouse or conservatory, but there is no glass involved. Instead, the Botanical Building is a giant lathe house, built of wooden strips that provide the perfect amount of shade and wind protection for palms, tree ferns, and other tropical/subtropical understory plants.
4. Australian plants
Callistemon ‘Woodlanders Hardy’ and one or two eucalyptus are the only Australian plants I know of that can be grown in North Carolina, and even those are marginal outside of the coastal plain. The climate of southern California is more similar to parts of Australia, so I wasn’t surprised to see a wider variety of plants from Down Under.
5. African and Malagasy plants
The zoo has a really impressive collection of succulents from Madagascar and southern Africa.
6. Hawaiian plants
I suppose the climate of Hawaii, particularly on the drier leeward side of the islands, must be not entirely unlike that of coastal San Diego County.

Here are some more plants on their way to my greenhouse for the winter. I previously photographed some of my Pachypodium plants and gave cultural suggestions in Six on Saturday #3. Those photos, taken in July of last year, showed leafy plants. Here in October, most of my pachypodiums have already shed their leaves and are dormant. Flower buds will start to emerge in late winter to early spring, and fresh new leaves will follow.
All of the species shown here are from Madagascar
1. Pachypodium eburneum
Pachypodium eburneum is a very compact species with strongly compressed branches and relatively short inflorescences. In that sense, it is somewhat like a less extreme version of P. brevicaule. While P. brevicaule has soft spines, however, the thick spines of P. eburneum are hard and sharp. Very old P. eburneum have a lumpy, irregular form, but this plant (eleven years old, grown from seed) is still nicely symmetrical. The flowers of P. eburneum are white or pale yellow.
2. Pachypodium rosulatum var. gracilius
Pachypodium rosulatum is a very variable species that some botanists (and many horticulturalists) split into a complex of several closely related species. Here, I’ll follow Dylan Burge  in considering this and the following plants to be variants of one species.
P. rosulatum gracilus is distinguished by its dense, very fine spines. It generally has a bottle-shaped or globular trunk. Flowers are small and bright yellow. This is a seventeen-year old plant, grown from seed.
3. Pachypodium rosulatum (near Tôlanaro)
This P. rosulatum variant, which appears to be undescribed, supposedly comes from the vicinity of Tôlanaro (Ft. Dauphin) in southern Madagascar. It has large yellow flowers and very sharp spines that are stronger than those of var. gracilius. This plant was purchased as a small artificially propagated seedling in 2008.
4. Pachypodium rosulatum var. makayense
Like Pachypodum rosulatum var. bicolor, P. rosulatum var. makayense has bicolored yellow and white flowers. At least under greenhouse conditions, var. makayense seems to be more compact than var. bicolor. It is also more difficult to grow, and I have lost a number of seedlings to root rot. This plant is eleven years old, grown from seed.
5. Pachypodium rosulatum var. cactipes
Pachypodium rosulatum var cactipes has fine, acicular spines, rather like those of var. gracilus, but in var. cactipes they are more widely spaced on long branches. The plant shown above was purchased as a small seedling from Arid Lands in 1999. It has the longest flowering season of any of my pachypodiums, producing yellow flowers successively over more than a month in mid to late spring.
The plant shown below also seems to be var. cactipes. It is the “super branching form” sold for many year by Highland Succulents in Ohio. I bought this plant in 2000.
6. Pachypodium windsorii
Pachypodum windsorii has bright red flowers in the spring. The plant above, a 1997 purchase from Glasshouse Works nursery, is the parent of the seedling below. Shortly after germination, I deliberately damaged the apical meristem of this seedling, and it responded by branching. Usually pachypodiums branch after flowering for the first time, and the trunk is expanded only below the first branch. In this seedling, each of the four basal branches is developing a swollen base, giving it the appearance of four plants fused together. I think it will make a really nice specimen in ten or fifteen years.
Most of the pictures this week are really Six on (last) Saturday, because they were taken a week ago at the autumn open-house of Montrose, Nancy Goodwin’s garden in Hillsborough, North Carolina. See here for my pictures from last autumn.
The final picture was taken yesterday, in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Michael.
1. Costus species
Costus are related to ginger but have been separated out of the Zingiberaceae into their own family, Costaceae. I made a beeline for this plant the past couple of times I visited Montrose, because I have never seen one growing in the NC piedmont before. This time, Nancy let me in on the secret: She digs it up every autumn and stores the rhizome in her house, so it isn’t as hardy as I hoped. Still, our summers are clearly long enough and the soil warm enough for it to get established and flower. Might be worth trying one of these days.
2. Double-flowered Colchicum
This might be Colchicum ‘Waterlily’, but without a tag I can’t be sure. Montrose is famous for its bulb plantings, and two of the three plants that I picked up at the sales table were also bulbs (in the broad sense): a huge Hymenocallis that might be H. ‘Tropical Giant’ and a seedling Cyclamen mirabile. The third plant I bought was Primula sieboldii.
3. Abelmoschus species
A beautiful Hibiscus relative with fuzzy buds. I wish the plants in Montrose Garden were labeled. I suspect this is Abelmoschus manihot, but don’t quote me on that.
4. Brugmansia (angel’s trumpet)
South American Brugmansia are surprisingly hardy in the piedmont. My plant of Brugmansia ‘Betty Marshall’ has survived three or four years outdoors and is currently about seven feet tall. This yellow flowered clone, perhaps ‘Charles Grimaldi’, has been growing below a couple of large eastern red cedars at Montrose for longer than that.
5. Salvia oxyphora (fuzzy Bolivian sage)
I hesitated to post this photo, because it is another bright pink/red flower that blows out the sensor of my iPhone camera and is almost always overexposed. But S. oxyphora is so fantastic and furry that I couldn’t resist. My sole attempt to grow this species failed, but perhaps I haven’t found the correct spot for a plant that must surely be right at the edge of its hardiness zone in the piedmont.
6. Fallen oak (Quercus species).
Hurricane Michael hit the Florida panhandle like a bomb. By the time it crossed our area, it was downgraded to a weak tropical storm, but it still did plenty of damage to trees sitting in soil saturated by the remnants of Hurricane Florence just a few weeks ago. This beautiful oak on our neighbors’ property was uprooted and dropped across our lane, blocking access. By the time I got home from work, the neighborhood chain saw gang was hard at work clearing the road.
For more Six on Saturday, head on over to the Propagator’s blog. Take a look at his Six and then see the comments section for links to other blogs.
I just realized it has been seven weeks since I did a Six on Saturday post. It’s getting trickier to find six things that I haven’t already talked about, so today I thought I’d showcase plants that I normally wouldn’t mention at all.
1. Japanese stiltgrass (Microstegium vimineum)
This stuff is the worst. It’s an annual grass with long, jointed stems that can root at the nodes to spread over flat ground or climb and sprawl to smother plants up to about two feet (70 cm) tall. Stiltgrass was apparently introduced into the U.S. about 100 years ago, when dry stems were used as packing material for porcelain shipments. Around here, it can cover large areas of moist open woodland, along creeks and roads, where it completely chokes out native wildflowers. Seeds can survive several years in the soil, so even very careful weeding appears totally ineffective the next spring. According to Nancy Goodwin of Montrose Garden, stiltgrass can be eliminated by thoroughly weeding the same area for five or six years without fail. Mowing has no effect, as shown by the very short stiltgrass that combines with crabgrass to form much of my lawn in late summer. The busy (or lazy) gardener’s approach that seems to work relatively well is to cover all flowerbeds with a couple of inches of hardwood mulch every few years. The mulch stops seeds from germinating and enriches the beds, but it must be renewed as it decays, or stiltgrass will return
2. Poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans)
The berries of this native vine/shrub are important food for birds, so seedlings often sprout around the bird feeder and bird bath, or under trees where birds like to perch. For small seedlings, I wear disposable nitrile gloves to pull the plant and then peel off the glove to trap the seedling inside. For larger plants, I use glyphosate–that’s the only time I use glyphosate in the garden.
3. Creeping cucumber (Melothria pendula)
This native annual vine is, as its name suggests, a member of the Curcubitaceae (gourd family). The vines are annoying when they form an untidy tangle that smothers tall perennials. The fruit are apparently edible when green but are very effective laxatives when ripe and black. Birds and squirrels eat them and distribute the seed throughout my garden.
4. Mulberry weed, hairy crabweed (Fatoua villosa)
I think this Asian member of the Moraceae (fig and mulberry family) arrived in my garden via some potted plants from a local botanical garden. It is an annual in the garden but invades pots in the greenhouse year round. The foliage of this species closely resembles various members of the mint family (e.g. catnip, lemon balm), but the hairy flower clusters are distinctive.
5. Chamber bitter (Phyllanthus urinaria)
An Asian species that is now distributed widely in the southeastern U.S., chamber bitter produces many seeds in little capsules along the underside of the stems at leaf axils. Chamber bitter is a problem mainly in bare soil, such as in my vegetable garden, or where mulch has decayed.
6. Pokeweed (Phytolacca americana).
I have heard that this piedmont native is sometimes grown as an ornamental perennial in Europe. An 8-foot (2 m) tall specimen with shiny leaves, red stems, and dark purple, almost black berries is definitely impressive, but wildlife spread the seeds all over the place. Even small seedlings have a deep taproot that makes them difficult to completely remove, and like dandelions, they’ll return if you leave the taproot in the soil.
For more Six on Saturday, hopefully including plants that you’d actually like to grow, head over to The Propagator.


Closed-circuit television, commonly referred to as CCTV, is a security system that utilizes video cameras to transmit a signal to a specific, limited set of monitors. Unlike broadcast television, where the signal is openly transmitted, CCTV signals are closely monitored for surveillance and security purposes. The system is designed to provide real-time monitoring of a designated area, making it a cornerstone in the efforts to enhance safety and security in various settings.
The inception of CCTV dates back to 1942 when it was first used by the German engineer, Walter Bruch, to observe the launch of V-2 rockets. Initially developed for military, scientific, and industrial applications, the technology quickly evolved. By the 1970s and 1980s, it became more prevalent as a public safety tool, particularly in the UK where it was used to combat terrorism threats. Its adoption has since spread globally, becoming an integral part of security infrastructures everywhere.
One of the most recognized applications of CCTV is in retail security. Retailers utilize CCTV systems to deter theft, monitor customer activity, and gather data on shopper behaviors. The presence of cameras in stores can significantly reduce the occurrence of shoplifting and provide valuable evidence in the case of criminal activities. Beyond security, CCTV analytics can help retailers understand customer traffic patterns, optimize store layouts, and improve customer service.
CCTV systems offer a multitude of benefits. They act as a deterrent to criminal activity, simply by their presence. Furthermore, CCTV footage is invaluable in the identification and prosecution of offenders post-event. In addition to enhancing public safety, CCTV systems can also contribute to operational efficiencies by monitoring workflows and processes, especially in industrial settings. The psychological comfort of feeling safe cannot be understated either, as CCTV contributes to a sense of security among the public and employees in professional settings.
CCTV contributes to public safety by acting as a deterrent to potential criminals and by providing real-time surveillance to security personnel. This constant monitoring allows for a swift response to any suspicious activities or incidents.
Yes, besides security, CCTV systems are used for traffic monitoring, crowd control, and monitoring of industrial processes. They can also provide insights into consumer behavior in retail environments.
Generally, yes, CCTV footage is admissible in court, provided it meets certain criteria such as clarity, relevance to the case, and a verifiable chain of custody to ensure it has not been tampered with.

Hamlet’s death is ultimately caused when he is stabbed with a poisoned sword; however, he finally attains his goal of killing King Claudius. By comparing the plotlines of Ophelia and Hamlet, the similarities become clearer. Both characters are young individuals that want to follow the wishes of their fathers. By doing this, they are indirectly led to their own death.
Made for playgoers at the time it was a tragedy. Hamlet starts out with his father getting killed. A ghost comes out and tells Hamlet that Claudius murdered his father. Claudius murders old Hamlet because he is jealous of his power and wants to run the castle. Eventually, Hamlet shows his father a play and Claudius realizes that Hamlet is clearly aware of his murder.
The play of Hamlet by William Shakespeare is full of many acts of betrayal. One such of these acts is when Hamlet goes against the wishes of his father’s ghost and debates on whether or not he should kill Claudius. Not only this but he also is extremely cruel to his mother and hurts her feelings which were also against the wishes of the ghost. He wanted Hamlet to avenge his death without hurting others along the way and almost everything Hamlet did in the play went against that.
Hamlet has many causes affecting his mental state, the root to his madness is the death of his father. After the ghost of Hamlet’s dad revealed the truth to his homicide, Hamlet is out to seek revenge and begins to display unroyal behavior when processing the fact his uncle, Claudius, killed his father: “his doublet all unbraced, no hat upon his head, his stockings fouled, ungartered, and down-gyved to his ankle.” (Shakespeare pg.79) This quote supports his symptoms of being mental ill within his
He was to the point where he thought it would just be easier to die than to live with all these struggles. Hamlet’s uncle Claudius killed his father which put a huge burden on his shoulders because he loved his father so much. What made it even worse was his mom, Gertrude, ended up marrying Claudius short after King Hamlet 's death. After the king was murdered, Hamlet saw his father’s “ghost” which told him that Claudius was in fact the one that killed him and that he wanted Hamlet to seek revenge for him by killing Claudius, but not to punish his mother for remarrying. He said it is not his place to do so and that heaven will judge her when it comes time.
Then the ghost comes back and reminds hamlet that it is not Gertrude to blame. Because of his actions at the end Gertrude drinks a poisoned glass that was meant for hamlet and dies. Second, I don’t think Ophelia actions are justified either. According Doc C: Ophelia’s father Polonius was killed which really affected her and she became crazy.
In the same way, Hamlet is faced with a lot of challenges in a series. It all starts with Polonius, who was spying on Hamlet with his mother in the queen’s chamber and Hamlet stabs him. When King Claudius learns about it, he punishes Hamlet by sending him to exile in England. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are sent by the king to make sure that Hamlet is handed to the King of England for execution, but he learns about it and arranges for their hanging. Then, Ophelia dies out of depression over his father’s death and Hamlet’s behavior, and her brother dies while trying to wrestle with Hamlet.
His father’s ghost visits him and reveals to Hamlet that he was the victim of a murderous plot to take the crown from him. Hamlet is trying to balance all of these new things happening to him while maintaining his mental health and trying to carry out revenge for his father. The first event that showcases the headspace of Hamlet happens when it is revealed to him that his uncle and his mom are now married. Hamlet is trying to mourn the death of his father as any son should and is with his uncle and mother when he is addressed by his uncle. “But now, my cousin Hamlet, and my son-” “A little more than kin, and less than kind!” was Hamlet’s response
For instance, he wasn’t sure if the ghost was telling the truth so he modifies the play, The Murder of Gonzago, to resemble the murder of his father. While the actors are performing the play, he will watch Claudius’ reactions to see if he truly is guilty. He also asks Horatio to watch Claudius to have a second opinion because Hamlet’s judgment may be bias. He says, “The play’s the thing wherein I’ll catch the conscience of the King” (II, 2, 60). Another scene in the play where Hamlet thinks logically before lashing out is when he sees Claudius praying and is completely vulnerable, but restrains from killing him.
Or it can be seen as the ghost being some type of evil spirit trying to destroy hamlet through bad advice. The ghost is simply trying to free its spirit from purgatory and not trying to destroy hamlet, this is evident due to the fact that we know that Claudius killed Hamlet’s father in cold blood before he could pray for his sins. The ghosts role in the play is to tell Hamlet how he truly died. The nature in which the ghost appears in the play changes from appearance to appearance.
Hamlet’s uncle sent him to England to be killed, but Hamlet finds a way to get out of it. Both, Simba and Hamlet, have their father’s death which they take revenge upon by killing their uncles. Simba ends up fighting his uncle until he is eventually killed by the Hyenas, and Hamlet kills Claudius with poison just how Claudius killed Old Hamlet. In the end, Hamlet and Simba did what each of their fathers said to and can let their souls rest in peace. It is obvious, Hamlet and Simba have many
The absence of thought utilized as a part of demanding the vengeance prompted the passings of both Laertes and Hamlet. Laertes arranged with Claudius to slaughter Hamlet with the harmed tipped sword, yet they had not imagined that the sword may be utilized against them. With Laertes trusting the King 's allegations that Hamlet had killed his dad, he battles Hamlet and wounds him once with the harmed tipped sword. Village continues to twisted Laertes with the same sword, demanding his demise. Villa had numerous opportunities to slaughter his uncle, however his fury exceeded his better judgment; and he held up until the ruler could see no great in Claudius, and afterward strike him down into a universe of unceasing punishment. "
After Hamlet’s father passes away, he is visited by his ghost. This is when he is informed that Hamlet’s father’s brother is the murderer behind his father’s death. That enrages Hamlet, and makes him hate his mom for being with him, and his stepdad/uncle. That is when he decided to seek revenge on Claudius. “So by his father lost.
This all changes when his father 's specter appears before him for the second time and confirms his suspicions. Aside from informing his son that his very own brother murdered him the spirit also urges his son to“revenge his foul and most unnatural murder”(1.5. line 29). Due to this encounter with the apparition of his father Hamlet’s course of action changes from just suspecting of his uncle to ultimately killing him. Hamlet Sr. 's phantom also affects the action later on in the
Haste me to know 't, that I, with wings as swift As meditation or the thoughts of love, May sweep to my revenge." (1.5 pg 23) At this point, Hamlet was eager to revenge his father 's death, even though he did not know who was the victim. The Ghost proceeds to tell Hamlet who killed him. " Thus was I, sleeping, by a brother 's hand Of life, of crown, of queen, at once dispatch 'd, Cut off even in the blossoms of my sin, Unhousel 'd, disappointed, unaneled, No reckoning made, but sent to my account with all my imperfections on my head.

So you’ve made up your mind on getting a small dog for your child? Well, that’s about one of the best decisions that time will prove to you was right. However there is one problem, you’re torn on whether to go with the Morkie vs Chihuahua.
Before we can get to that, keep in mind that getting dogs are great for kids as they teach them responsibility. Besides responsibilities, your child will also master the art of patience as she/he trains it to walk on a leash, relieve itself outside, and many other commands. To sum it up, dogs are a man’s best friend and a child’s partner and your children get to enjoy a diverse array of benefits from having a dog.
However, it is easy to assume just because you love Chihuahuas and they are small they will be great partners to your kids but unfortunately that is not always the case. Just because a dog is small doesn’t mean it will get along with your young toddler.
That is why we are here to discuss the A to Z of the most popular toy breeds, the Chihuahua and the Morkie to help you gain insight on whether they are suitable to have around your child.
Whenever there is mention of small dogs or toy breeds, you can never go too deep into the conversation without hearing the name Chihuahua. This is because the little charming dog leads in the list of the world’s smallest dogs. Take a look at more info about the Chihuahua below.
Similar to many other breeds, it is difficult to pinpoint the exact origin of the Chihuahua but history has it that the small adorable toy breed dates back to the early 1800s and was originally discovered in China before Mexico and Spanish traders came with it to Mexico. However, it rose to prominence after it was discovered in 1850 by American visitors in Chihuahua Mexico which is where it got its name.
The Americans carried it back to America but it was only until five decades later that the Chihuahua was first registered by the American kennel club. Back then, the Chihuahua was short-haired but after cross-breeding between the Pomeranian and Pillions, the long-haired Chihuahua came to be and became one of the most popular dog breeds ranking 11th among the most popular dogs.
Height-Color-Weight and Lifespan
Even though there is a vast array of Chihuahua breeds, the average height ranges between 12 and 15 inches while the standard and also the most ideal weight for a Chihuahua is supposed to be 3-6 pounds. As mentioned earlier, the original Chihuahua was smooth or short-haired but after cross-breeding, the long-haired one came to be. So there are two varieties of these. As for colors, the Chihuahua comes in almost all colors from Orange to even pink. It is thanks to this that the American Kennel club categorizes them in two groups, either splashed or solid color. If well taken care of, a Chihuahua can live up to 10 to 18 years.
Chihuahua’s temperament can be described as saucy, meaning she has that larger-than-life personality which makes it appealing for almost every adult even those who are not dog lovers. It loves having fun and is ever busy hence it is no surprise that you’ll find Chihuahuas all over the mall with the owner as it loves following people.
Whether you are cooking in the kitchen, watching a movie in the living room, if you are planning to be a Chihuahua owner brace yourself because this little toy breed will follow you all over.
They are also incredibly affectionate and loyal to the owner and have terrier-like attitudes hence are exceptionally attached to the owner but this can be solved through training. Additionally, they are affectionate and intelligent and easily learn commands.
However, due to their hyper nature, small size, and the fact that they love to explore, it is easy for them to escape through small openings so always be on the lookout by ensuring there are no openings in your yard that they can escape through.
They are also easy prey for hawks and other big birds so don’t leave them unattended. Additionally, they never back down from other dogs hence this might pose a problem if they are faced by a bigger aggressive dog so ensure you’re with your Chihuahua while outdoors.
Generally, Chihuahuas are a healthy breed but as always there are a few health concerns that you should be on the lookout for always. For the Chihuahua, most of these are genetic such as hydrocephalus. This condition is characterized by too much fluid on the chihuahua’s brain and unfortunately, it is fatal.
In cases the head of your Chihuahua to increase in size so if you note anything similar to this ensure you take it to the vet as soon as possible. Other genetic conditions include hypoglycemia, obesity, and also eye infections. Additionally, due to their size, most female Chihuahuas either die or lose the puppies while giving birth, so ensure you assist or seek assistance from the vet for your Chihuahua when its giving birth.
The Morkie is another adorable tiny fluff ball dog. It is a mix between the Maltese and the Yorkie hence the name Morkie. Unlike the Chihuahua, the Morkie hasn’t been here long and was first bred in the US. Ever since it was first bred the morkie was always meant to be a lap dog thus we can say it has had the good life ever since it made its first step on Mother Nature.
As a crossbreed, most of the qualities of the Morkie are based on its original parents. It has a long soft flowing non-shedding coat similar to the Maltese and grows up to 12 inches but the standard height is between 6 and 9. It comes in different color variants such as silver-gray, solid beige, black, and tan or even in some cases if you’re lucky you can come across one with three colors. Most Morkies weigh 7-8 lbs. and if you give it proper care it can live up to 16 years.
If you’ve ever been a Yorkie owner then it will be easy for you to note that the temperament of the Morkie is almost similar to the Yorkie. It is a very confident and brave breed but loyal and incredibly attached to its owner. Even though tiny, Morkies are overprotective of the owners and will not shy away from barking at strangers.
it is a good indoor dog for anyone looking for a small adorable dog but not suitable for kids as they are fragile and will not keep up with your child’s rough play.
Similar to the Chihuahua, most of the health concerns to be on the lookout for are genetic hence be sure to consider your pup’s lineage before purchasing one. Some of the most common include hypoglycemia, glaucoma, reverse sneezing, patella luxation, tracheal collapse and several others.
Which one is Cheaper to Care for the Chihuahua or the Morkie?
Again as tiny dogs, It doesn’t take hundreds of dollars to take care of the morkie or the Chihuahua. They are relatively affordable. Just ensure that you bathe them at least once a week if they are more indoor rather than outdoor dogs. Use a mild shampoo designed for dogs.
You can even use baby shampoo as it is also mild. This helps dehydrate the skin. You can bathe them from the sink or dishpan as they are tiny. Ensure you rinse them well and as for the Morkie use a mild conditioner to prevent its smooth coat from tangling then later use a hairdryer to dry him properly but set it on low heat to prevent burning your pooch’s skin.
Ensure that you also brush their teeth frequently to prevent bad breath problems and clip the nails. The Chihuahua often shivers when it’s cold so you might have to look for doggie clothes to keep it warm.
Best Feeding Habits: The Morkie Vs The Chihuahua
The advantage of toy breeds is that they are incredibly easy to care for and not costly. Both of them need at least three meals a day composed of at least 20% fat, 30% protein, and at least 4% fiber. However, Morkies eat a lot of food and if you leave a bag of food open don’t be surprised to find it gone and your Morkie lying down unable to move.
On the other hand, Chihuahuas are picky eaters thus try out different brands to see which one your Chihuahua prefers or eats more. For both, avoid processed foods that are meant for humans such as pepperoni, fried chicken, cheeseburgers, and instead go for more natural if you must offer them human food.
Conclusion: Which is a better dog for Child Friendly morkie Vs Chihuahua?
None of the above. You see both the Chihuahua and the morkie are toy breeds. That makes it easy for your child to hurt or injure them during play as children can be reckless while playing. Additionally, if a child is too young, a Chihuahua or a morkie will likely perceive them as a playmate resulting in nipping, biting, and scratching hence hurting your kids.
Therefore even though these two breeds pack a punch of adorable and cuteness overload, they are more suitable for teenage kids and adults who are able to handle them like the fragile breeds that they are. When it comes to other animals, the Morkie is friendly while the Chihuahua is not unless trained from its puppyhood.

The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, on Monday, said the country will need to revert to the old pump price of N97 per litre of Premium Motor Spirit, popularly known as petrol, next year, as the nation’s economy cannot adequately support the current price of N87 per litre.
The minister stated this while defending his ministry’s projections as contained in the 2016 to 2018 Medium Term Expenditure Framework and Fiscal Strategy Paper before the Joint Senate/House of Representatives Committee on Finance, Appropriation and Banking, Insurance and other Financial Institutions.
Recall that on January 18 this year, the former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Deizani Alison-Madueke, announced that the Federal Government had approved the reduction of the pump price of petrol by N10 due to the fall in the global price of crude oil, stating that PMS was to sell for N87 per litre.
She therefore directed all filling stations and the regulatory authorities to effect the change of price immediately.
However, the new minister explained that the Federal Government was considering a reversal to N97 per litre in order to ensure that it would no longer fund the subsidy scheme.
He said the issue of total subsidy removal would come after the nation had been able to convince itself that the reversal to N97 would still be costing the government extra funds.
Kachikwu said, “The total subsidy figure for 2015, when taken along with the NNPC’s subsidy payment, will be in excess of N1tn. The current pricing work we are doing has shown that there shouldn’t really be subsidy. The government doesn’t need to fund subsidy.
“There is energy around the removal of subsidy. Most Nigerians we talk to today will say that’s where to go. I have since left the dictionary of subsidy by going to price modulation, which is a bit more technical.
“The price of refined petrol today is N87. It was N97 before it was reduced and we really have to go back to that because we don’t really have the finance to fund it. There are lots of safety barometers between the N87 and N97per litre regime. The government does not have to fund subsidy and yet the prices would have been fairly close to what it is today.
“That is the first mechanism we are going to work. It is when that mechanism fails that we will begin to look at a total subsidy exit. We believe we can achieve that.”
Kachikwu appeared alongside the Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun; Minister of National Planning, Senator Udo Udoma; Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, Godwin Emefiele; Chairman, Federal Inland Revenue Service, Mr. Babatunde Fowler; and Director-General, Debt Management Office, Dr. Abraham Nwankwo, among others.

Adenoviruses (AdVs) infection is a self-limited disease in the majority of immunocompetent children and adults, but can cause disseminated and life-threatening illness in immunocompromised hosts. This article will discuss therapeutic strategies for AdV infection in the pediatrics transplant recipient.Currently, there is no FDA approved antiviral therapy for AdV infection. Accordingly, the primary initial therapy would be decreasing immunosuppression, whenever possible. Cidofovir (CDV) is an antiviral drug whose use has been associated with significant reductions of AdV viral load and, in some series improved survival in recipients of solid organ transplant (SOT) and hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). However, its use is also associated with significant toxicity. Brincidofovir (BCV) is a lipid formulation of CDV, which has an improved oral bioavailability and favorable toxicity profile compared with CDV. However, studies have only shown modest benefit from BCV for AdV disease or viremia. Immunotherapy is a growing field in the management of this virus infection on HSCT patients with promising results.Current evidence support the use of CDV and BCV, as rescue therapy, on SOT and HSCT transplant patients. Immunotherapy had only been proven successful in HSCT patients, as an option for refractory cases or rescue therapy for AdV infection.

Sioux Falls police targeted about two dozen people with warnings each day during the first week of a campaign aimed at enhancing safety on city streets.
The push to change behavior was prompted by a summer of fatal accidents involving motorists, pedestrians and cyclists. There have been 16 accidents in Sioux Falls this year involving vehicles and bicycles, including the death of a 22-year-old woman about a month ago.
Officers this week will stop issuing warning tickets in favor of tickets that carry fines.
Some bicyclists say they hope the push for change extends beyond traffic enforcement and into driver's education courses.

The NSPCC has issued a statement saying that 'there are better ways to discipline' children than sacking:
Whilst parents are currently allowed to smack their children, the evidence is continuing to build that it is ineffective and harmful to children. There are more positive and constructive ways to discipline children and a clear message that hitting anyone is not right would benefit all of society.

As a basic rule of thumb, the faster the engine runs (RPM'*), the more air it'* getting. Did you replace the throttle body gasket during the repair, or use the existing one? As Dan suggested, it definitely sounds like you have too much air entering the system at some point.

dear crystalight hearts,
although you weren’t exactly my most beloved blog, and i’m almost a week late, i still felt like i should be a good pagemaster and congratulate your belated 1 year anniversary.
i created you a day after my 22nd birthday, and now that i turned 23 last week i guess i should appreciate you more.
you were there to take in all my rants and spazzes and tantrums when no one else was. (well, sorta).
i’m usually sad, stressed, hurt or angry when i’m here. and i guess that was why i didn’t like you very much. because you remind me of all that dark feelings whenever i’m here.
i always told myself that once i finished my attachment and my studies i’m gonna put you on an indefinite hiatus or something.
i don’t know why even after all that i keep coming back to write. even my diary isn’t receiving the same kind of treatment, let alone my other friend-based blogs.
but i think i know now.
it’s the idea of anonymity whenever i’m here-
of writing without identification.
i like that a lot.
so that only what is written is scrutinized, instead of who is writing it.
i think i kinda understood why J.K rowling wanted to use a different name and write a different story after harry potter was done.
it’s like starting anew, without your past as an extra baggage.
as a potter reader it would be a nice challenge to find that new story and somehow knowing that it is her work after all. her writing.
and that is what i call an exceptional reader.
so crystalight hearts,
i felt that i always hold myself back frm writing to you because i don’t feel like it’s normal to write so much within a span of a very short time.
i can’t just write all the time-
it’s not normal.
i want to feel like i’m normal.
but it left me feeling unsatisfied (because most of the time human beings can’t be what i need them to be –
they can’t take in too much information)
i don’t blame them though.
but i don’t intend to torture them any time soon any longer
i think i’ll just keep on writing to you (even though it makes me feel a bit abnormal).
P/S: happy one year anniversary!
P.P/S: my parents are going away for the weekend so i’m in charge of the kids for the next two days!

A group in Beechworth wants to find out if a single battery, or linked series of smaller batteries, would be capable of powering the entire town with renewable energy.
Totally Renewable Beechworth has launched its strategic plan with details of the "Power-ful Beechworth" project, with an end goal of helping the town become 100 per cent reliable on renewable energy by 2030.
It is asking for $150,000 in government funding to conduct a feasibility study and find out what batteries or other infrastructure would be the best way to proceed.
At a Zoom meeting this week, TRB's Sue Gold said the goal was "to demonstrate that clean energy technologies work".
IN OTHER NEWS:
"We want communities and regions to be able to generate, store and distribute their own power," she said.
"It seems a bit of a waste to have energy being generated, typically during the day, and then people come home from work - in non-COVID time at the end of the day - and the power's been fed into the grid.
"They then have to draw from the grid at night."
We want communities and regions to be able to generate, store and distribute their own power.Sue Gold, Totally Renewable Beechworth
There are currently 30 per cent of Beechworth households that have solar panels, but Ms Gold said Totally Renewable Beechworth wanted to introduce a system where even those who cannot afford to buy solar panels themselves can benefit from renewable energy.
She said another benefit would be the ability to disconnect Beechworth from the main energy grid if needed, even just for a couple of days in the case of an emergency.
"That would be an extraordinary safety mechanism for your town," she said.
"The most recent opportunity for us to have done that, had we had the technology, was during the bushfires.
"When the bushfires came through Buckland Gap, our source of power was cut - we had an emergency response team that had to relocate at the time of those fires because they had no power to operate."
The project has the support of AusNet and Indigo Power, but may not be possible at the moment under the Victorian government energy laws.
Indi MP Helen Haines gave her support to TRB at this week's meeting, saying the plan was "an absolute ripper".
"I am just so convinced that the renewable energy boom is something that rural and regional Australian absolutely must benefit from," she said.
"I think the timing could never be better - we're in the worst economic recession that we've had since the great depression.
"We need new, bold, great ideas."

Justin Timberlake has flown slices of his wedding cake halfway around the world to share his big day with his sick grandfather.
The "SexyBack" hit maker walked down the aisle with his bride Jessica Biel in a romantic ceremony in Italy last week, but his maternal grandparents, Bill and Sadie Bomar, were unable to attend the bash as Bill is recovering from surgery.
However, kind-hearted Timberlake ensured his beloved grandpa got a taste of the three-day affair by delivering slices of the almond and coconut cake served at the lavish nuptials.
Sadie is quoted as telling Britain's Daily Mirror, "I couldn't go to the wedding. Justin was heartbroken, but I couldn't leave my husband Bill, who is ill in hospital. I'm so sorry I had to miss it but I talked to Justin and Jessie, and they understood that I couldn't leave Papa."
"So Justin said he was making me an album of photos and sending some cake. They called me on the day and I congratulated them and told Justin thank you for giving me this beautiful new granddaughter...
"They had a beautiful day. Jessica's such a beautiful girl. I just love her. They are coming here real soon and will show me the pictures."

One of the possible causes of poor engine performance is the absense of spark at one or more sparkplugs. For a 4-cylinder standard Series Land Rover engine it is perfectly possible to be able to start and drive the vehicle with one spark plug not functioning at all; though you will be aware that something is wrong.
A problem somewhere in the ignition system is the most likely cause of a classic Series Land Rover engine failing to start. The easiest way of establishing that there is an ignition system fault, is to check for a spark when the outer electrode of one of the sparkplugs is held in contact with a good earth point on the engine and the engine is cranked (ignition ON).
Having established that no spark is present, it becomes necessary to discover where the problem lies. It could be that the sparkplug itself is faulty, but a classic Series Land Rover engine will often start quite easily with just one sparkplug not functioning. So to check if the sparkplug itself is faulty, repeat the spark test with the plug lead only; pull back the rubber insulation and hold the metal plug terminal(with insulated pliers) a sparkplug gap distance from the good earth point used previously. A lack of spark suggests the problem is not with the sparkplug itself.
So the next thing is to check if the low voltage ignition circuit, including the coil, is functioning correctly. The electrics on a Series Land Rover are not complicated and this is easily done by using a screwdriver to flick open the contact points whilst the ignition is switched on.
If a spark is seen then the problem lies somewhere between the distributor cap and the spark plug lead terminal. Check the carbon brush spring in the distributor cap incase it is too weak or the rotor arm is cracked or too small - i.e. the gap for the spark to jump across is too big. Check the inside of the distributor cap carefully for any cracks that could short-circuit the current away from the sparkplug leads. Finally, check for a faulty sparkplug lead by temporarily substituting it for one of the others and doing the spark test described in the previous paragraph.
If a spark is not seen
The problem could be a faulty coil. Take off the middle high tension lead from the distributor and hold it using insulated pliers next to a good clean earth point somewhere on the engine. If you do not see a spark when the engine is cranked with the ignition ON, then either the coil or the middle lead is faulty. Exchange the lead temporarily for one from a spark plug, if possible, and perform the test again. If a spark is now seen, the coil is OK, so replace the complete set of high tension leads, otherwise fit a new ignition coil.

Just like just before, Duan Ling Tian only ceased if the gravitational pressure acquired expanded so solid that he or she could not experience it. He quickly shattered cost-free and left the location.
The Hallway of Heart and soul Pearls elder sighed because he hurriedly forwarded a note to inform their patriarch from the event. Nonetheless, he did not notify the grand elder relating to this matter.
The Hall of Spirit Pearls elder sighed while he hurriedly directed a message to inform their patriarch from the incident. Having said that, he failed to notify the lavish elder about it matter.
After a moment, Ji Hu questioned inside of a deep speech, â€œPatriarch, would you go along with me into the t.i.tle Temple? I would like to look for Ji Xuanâ€™s murderer!â€�
â€œAlright.â€� Ji Feng sighed. â€œIf you insist, Iâ€™ll select you.â€�
Duan Ling Tian expected to meet up with Meng Hao Xuan as well as many others again immediately after he remaining the imprisonment. Nevertheless, he uncovered he was alone for an drain and frosty rock platform. The material base radiated a chilling atmosphere that designed one feel as though one is in an an ice pack cave.
The Blood flow Dragon Clan was a mutant dragon clan, and in addition they were definitely referred to as fallen dragon clan from the dragon clan. This is a result of the need for a great deal of blood vessels essence for the blood vessels dragon to build. Our blood dragons would devour the bloodstream basis of reduced-amount Celestial Beasts or perhaps very best-tier Celestial Beasts to further improve their power.
Even though the Bloodstream Dragon Clan was portion of the dragon clan, they were not recognized from the dragon clan. Having said that, because of their toughness and the number of the t.i.tled Celestial Emperors during the clan, they were regarded as a heaven-quality pressure in the Ten Thousand Beasts Paradise.
He requested which has a nasty laugh on his deal with, â€œMust I absolutely destroy him to have out?â€�
â€œIt may seem like the lavish elder just identified.â€� The Hallway of Soul Pearls elder smiled bitterly. It did not acquire significantly to suppose the roar was out of the Fantastic Elder of your Our blood Dragon Clan.
After having a instant, Ji Hu requested within a deep speech, â€œPatriarch, can you come with me for the t.i.tle Temple? I would like to search for Ji Xuanâ€™s murderer!â€�
Similar to previously, they were split and sent to a s.p.a.ce with crus.h.i.+ng tension. The main difference was the pressure now originated in gravitational forces.
The Bloodstream Dragon Clan was really a mutant dragon clan, and they were referred to as dropped dragon clan because of the dragon clan. It was a result of the requirement for plenty of blood stream essence for any our blood dragon to flourish. Blood dragons would devour the bloodstream essence of lower-point Celestial Beasts as well as top-tier Celestial Beasts to boost their toughness.
Despite the fact that Duan Ling Tian acquired geared up themself because of this likelihood, his heart still sank as he noticed the World Cleaning Divine Waterâ€™s words. In the end, he still were required to fight Meng Hao Xuan to death? He really felt like he was caught from a rock and difficult place.
Despite the fact that Duan Ling Tian got made him or her self just for this possibility, his coronary heart still sank as he listened to the globe Cleaning Divine Waterâ€™s phrases. In the end, he still was required to combat Meng Hao Xuan to loss? He really sensed like he was trapped from a rock and tricky location.
Off their dialogue, it was subsequently distinct that those through the t.i.tle Temple could see what was happening after a evaluation.
â€œItâ€™s attainable, but we donâ€™t should always do thatâ€¦â€� Duan Ling Tian shook his go and said, â€œLetâ€™s see whether we can easily obtain other ways outâ€¦â€�
After having a minute, Ji Hu questioned in a very profound speech, â€œPatriarch, could you go with me towards the t.i.tle Temple? I want to look for Ji Xuanâ€™s murderer!â€�
The Blood Dragon Clan was actually a mutant dragon clan, additionally they had been referred to as decreased dragon clan through the dragon clan. That was mainly because of the demand for plenty of blood substance to get a blood stream dragon to build. Bloodstream dragons would devour the our blood basis of lower-levels Celestial Beasts or even top notch-level Celestial Beasts to better their strength.
Much like well before, Duan Ling Tian only quit when the gravity obtained expanded so formidable that he could not anymore experience it. He quickly broke no cost and still left the site.
He understood if informed the huge elder of the, it turned out most likely that this great elder would vent his rage on him. It absolutely was wise to enable the patriarch explain to the fantastic elder in regards to this make any difference. Irrespective of how furious the lavish elder was, he would not vent his rage in the patriarch.
â€œThatâ€™s perfect.â€� Duan Ling Tian nodded
â€œIt doesnâ€™t make a difference if just a few experienced became popular,â€� Ji Hu said, â€œIâ€™m prepared to pay off any price tag to learn who killed Ji Xuan. I donâ€™t assume theyâ€™d have the capacity to fight this give.â€�

As the fight to preserve India’s Constitution rages on, with students at the forefront bravely taking on the Central government and opposing the recently passed Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), protesters are seeking inspiration from a woman leader from rural Maharashtra, who fought against huge odds for the rights of the oppressed and women’s empowerment, 120 years ago.
Women and LGBTQI+ groups in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad and Ranchi are organising a National March to protest against the CAA-NRC-NPR on Savitribai Phule’s 189th birth anniversary on Friday, drawing strength from this brave, path-breaking woman who was centuries ahead of her time.
Savitribai Phule is much better known as an educator. She was one of the first Indian women who taught Dalit, Tribal and OBC women. She was also the first Indian headmistress of a girls' school which she set up with her husband Jyotiba Phule. It was amazing that she was educated at all as she was from the Mali community, an Other Backward Caste (OBC), and this was a time when only the Brahmins were allowed to get an education. Savitribai’ first teacher was Jyotiba Phule, often called the father of social reform in India, who also faced a lot of opposition while getting an education.
The couple worked in many areas to uplift the backward castes, both OBCs and Dalits. They also educated Adivasis and Muslims. Though Savitribai is primarily known as an educator, she worked tirelessly to uplift women and save them from sexual exploitation. She fought against misogyny and patriarchy, and became an inspiration for a whole generation of women leaders who fought for gender justice in Maharashtra - Dr Anandi Bai Gopal Joshi, Pandita Ramabai, Tarabai Shinde, Ramabai Ranade and many others.
In the mid-1800s, there was a case of a widow who was arrested for killing her child born outside a marital relationship that she may have been forced into. Savitribai had heard of this incident and several other similar ones - widows were often sexually exploited but they were defenseless against such exploitation. They were disgraced and faced societal wrath if they got pregnant. To address this issue, Savitribai, along with Jyotiba, set up a home for the welfare of widows and their children to ensure that they were safe and not further exploited. Savitribai proved to be a caring and loving mother to the widows and their children.
In the 1860s, Savitribai also organised and led a boycott by barbers against the practice of shaving the heads of widows. She fought against many Brahminical and patriarchal norms, and along with her husband, was a trailblazer in many areas.
On December 25, 1873 the couple organised the wedding of a young widower with the daughter of a woman who was a close friend of Savitribai’s, without a Brahman priest. Though there was some opposition to the wedding, it was held.
Savitribai also wrote poetry and became probably the first published Marathi woman writer when her Kavya Phule, an anthology of poetry, was published in 1854. In her writings, she encouraged the OBCs and Dalits to get educated so that they could live a life of dignity and equality. She was among the first to understand the importance of the English language as a vehicle to emancipate the lower castes. In one of her Marathi poems, she urges her fellow beings to “Awake, arise and educate, Smash traditions-liberate.” In another Marathi poem the title of which translates to ‘Go, Get Education’, she says, “Sit idle no more, go, get education, end misery of the oppressed and forsaken. You’ve got a golden chance to learn, so learn and break the chains of caste.”
Jyotiba Phule started the Satyashodhak Samaj on September 24, 1873 as a socio-spiritual movement and Savitribai actively supported it. Phule was convinced that the existing reform movements within Hinduism - the Brahmo Samaj, the Prarthana Samaj and the Arya Samaj - continued to be the preserve of Brahminism and ritualism. The objective of the Satyashodhak Samaj was to redeem the OBCs and Dalits from the influence of brahminical scriptures, teach them their rights and liberate them from religious and mental slavery.
On Jyotiba Phule’s death on November 28, 1890, Savitribai showed the strength of her character when she lit her husband’s pyre, making it one of the rare instances when a wife lit the funeral pyre of her husband in India. Savitribai also took over Satyashodak Samaj after Phule’s death, and presided over the meeting in 1893 of the samaj, in Saswad in Maharashtra.
The Phules adopted Yashwant, the son of a Brahman widow in 1874 and again challenged caste boundaries as they often did. Together, they set up 52 boarding schools for the welfare of orphaned children, worked in famine relief, set up a night school for workers and peasants and also opened up their household water tank to the Dalits, which was strongly opposed by their own community.
Savitribai edited and published a collection of Jyotiba’s speeches in 1856 and published another of her poetry collections Bavan Kashi Subodh Ratnakar in 1891.
In the famine in Maharashtra in 1896, Savitribai worked tirelessly and also successfully lobbied with the government to take up relief measures. In 1897, when a plague epidemic swept Pune, Savitribai engaged in relief work and unfortunately, contacted the plague which resulted in her death on March 10, 1897. Her son Yashwant officiated at her funeral.
Savitribai started the feminism struggle for Indian women when the word wasn’t even known. She overcame the disadvantages of caste, class and gender to ensure a better future not just for women but also for all oppressed castes of her times. A truly amazing personality, Savitri is a fitting model for people of all genders to take their inspiration from even in 2020.

(Mark Noonan) – Well, he did ask for it, didn’t he?
“You want credit Harry, we are happy to oblige: Nevada is in the midst of 16 straight months of increased unemployment, which has driven the state’s economy to the worst in the nation. Harry Reid wants credit. Fine, you got it, Harry. But the economy’s downturn coincides with your power. You weren’t in charge during the good years, but you did fight against the 2001-2003 tax cuts which boosted the economy. You are in charge now and now there’s 200,000 Nevadans out of work. You go tell them about the 20 years you weren’t in charge then blame someone else for the past 16 months and see how that turns out.’ ― Jerry Stacy, Sharron Angle Spokesman…”
Careful what you ask for, Harry; you might get it.
The plain fact of the matter is that Harry Reid has been high in American politics for decades now. These were decades when we built up massive amounts of debt; shipped our farms to Mexico, our mines to Chile and our factories to China; when Wall Street looters were allows to go hog wild; when government regulators squeezed the life out America’s small businesses; when absurd environmentalist concerns trumped the needs of human beings.
Was Harry Reid directly responsible for all that happened? No – but he didn’t fight for a moment against everything which has gone wrong.
Reid is part of the system – part of the Ruling Class. He has made himself a millionaire and set up his family in wealth and privilege, all on the taxpayer;s dime. It is, indeed, time to credit Harry with what he has done – and show him the door he has so well earned.

Anti-nuke protest group Think Outside The Bomb has been in high gear as the anniversary of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki approaches.
Right this second, a couple dozen members are chanting and waving signs in the Santa Fe Plaza.
One member left a voice mail at SFR saying they may "make the rounds," and march from the Plaza to the Santa Fe federal building downtown, or to the local offices of Lockheed Martin (which SFR didn't know they had).
Tomorrow, TOTB moves on to Los Alamos.

Magic of Bill Blagg Live to mystify at Grand Opera House Saturday
- The Magic of Bill Blagg Live

Audiences won't see top hats, birds and card tricks when The Magic Of Bill Blagg Live returns to the Grand Opera House on Saturday, but they can expect grand-scale illusions and even a flying hover board.
Blagg described his show as "The Second City got together with David Copperfield and had a kid," and it combines comedy and grand illusion magic.
He brings the show to cities where people might not get to see large-scale magic shows. It's one of the few shows that brings grand-scale magic to a smaller setting, creating a unique opportunity for audiences at the Grand Opera House, he said.
Audience members might be familiar with illusion shows on TV, but there are no camera tricks up Blagg's sleeve.
"You haven't seen magic until you've seen magic live," he said.
The interactive, full-production magic and illusion show will keep the crowd in awe-filled laughter — some members of it will even float in mid-air — and Blagg will fly on a hover board in a new act of the show. The hover board took more than a decade to make work, he said.
It's all part of the spectacle of magic that Blagg has been perfecting since he received a beginner's magic set at 5 years old. He drew inspiration from David Copperfield, and got his first big break when he became the youngest contestant to win an adult stage competition at the Abbott Magic Get-Together in Michigan at age 18 with his signature effect, The Dancing Hank. The act is a dancing handkerchief that Blagg said has better moves than Justin Timberlake.
He has nearly two decades of touring under his belt, yet the illusionist continues to take his show to the next level and always has about four new effects in the works. In next year's show he'll saw himself in half, Blagg said.
"My favorite thing about performing magic is literally watching the reactions on the audience's faces," he said. "It's something that can take people from their everyday life, and for an hour and 45 minutes, they suspend their disbelief and sit in a world of wonder."
This week Blagg was the featured artist in residence at the Grand Opera House. He will perform "The Science of Magic" for students on Friday as part of the Grand Opera House Student Discovery Series. The educational show ties science and magic together.
"It's designed to get them to think outside of the box and discover how magicians use the exact science they learn in the classroom to create magic," he said.
Blagg is excited to be back in Oshkosh for one of the last stops on his nine-month tour. Originally from Zion, Illinois, he now lives in Pleasant Prairie and said he's glad to be wrapping up the tour in Wisconsin.
"Oshkosh just reminds me of home," he said. "I always love being in front of a Wisconsin audience."

Shonda Rhimes is Going to the Silver Screen
What can't this lady do? Every script she touches becomes a major hit!
So, now she is moving from TV to producing a movie, and you guess it, it is very scandalous.
One of the writers from 'Grey's Anatomy' approached Shonda with a script titled My Husband's Ex-Wife. This film is about a younger woman who marries an older man, who has an ex-wife with cancer.
It already sounds interesting. This will be the first feature film that Shonda has produced and I am pretty sure she will rock based on the success of 'Grey's Anatomy,' Scandal' and 'How To Get Away With Murder,' which all come on tonight!


SACRAMENTO– With a midnight deadline just a few hours away, lawmakers on Monday afternoon approved a $117.5 billion state budget that pumps more money into child care, health care and higher education.
The general fund spending plan for the fiscal year that begins July 1 cleared the Senate 26-13 on a party-line vote and passed the Assembly 53-27. But Gov. Jerry Brown has not yet signed off on the deal, setting up the possibility of a nasty fight over how to spend a tiny fraction of the budget.
Democrats speaking on the Senate floor insisted the budget reflects the state”s values and “supports the least among us,” while Republicans criticized the proposal, calling it “just a sham” crafted so lawmakers get paid. An initiative voters approved in 2010 blocks legislators from collecting salary if they don”t pass a budget by June 15.
At issue are revenue projections for the fiscal year that begins in July. Democratic lawmakers believe the state will have about $3 billion more than the Brown administration predicts. And with that extra cash, they want to boost general fund spending by $750 million.
“Again and again and again, we found ourselves as Republicans agreeing with the governor, and the governor agreeing with us,” said Sen. Neilsen, R-Gerber
The revised $115.3 billion spending plan Brown unveiled last month was already $7.3 billion larger than the budget enacted last June for the current fiscal year. It reflected a $6.7 billion increase in projected general-fund revenues compared to the budget he released in January.
Members of the Brown administration met over the weekend with staff for Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins, D-San Diego, and Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de Leon, D-Los Angeles, in hopes of striking a deal before today”s votes, but those talks stalled, several sources close to the negotiations said.
If the governor and legislative leaders fail to reach an agreement before a June 30 deadline for Brown to sign a new budget into law, he”s expected to use his veto pen to cut or reduce spending as he sees fit. He could also reject the spending plan outright as he did in 2011 — his first year in office.
“We”re watching a game of budget chicken,” said Bill Whalen, a veteran GOP strategist and speechwriter who is now a research fellow at Stanford”s Hoover Institution. “Lawmakers want to get something on paper so they can brag about it to their constituents.”
“But the risk (oF not striking a deal earlier) is obvious,” he said. “The governor could veto everything they want.”
Both sides agree the state should use big chunks of cash to pay down debt, save for a rainy day and reinvest in the K-12 public schools hit hardest during the Great Recession. They also agree the state should create a tax credit to help California”s working poor climb out of poverty.
But they”re deeply divided on whether to reinvest in other programs that were slashed at the height of the financial crisis to help close gaping budget gaps.
The budget approved by lawmakers includes $325 million next year — and as much as $500 million annually in future years — to create 27,000 new child care and preschool slots and increase reimbursement rates for providers. Brown”s budget only includes increased funding to expand child care for children with special needs.
The Legislature also wants to increase reimbursement rates for doctors and dentists who accept low-income patients through the state”s Medi-Cal and Denti-Cal programs and offer Medi-Cal to immigrant children who are living in the state illegally — ideas Brown has been unwilling to support because of their high, ongoing costs.
To avoid a tuition hike for University of California students that was scheduled to take effect later this year, Brown agreed to provide temporary assistance to the University of California to help pay down its unfunded pension liability.
Under the spending plan approved by lawmakers, UC will get an additional $25 million, so long as administrators promise to enroll 5,000 more California students and cap enrollment of out-of-state students over the next two years. CSU will get $70 million more than Brown had promised.
