Sampling New Zealand’s (Amazing) Geology
New Zealand’s landscape can make just about anybody appreciate geology. Its glaciated peaks, its coastline –that ranges from ragged cliffs to sandy beaches to glacial fjords– its active volcanoes… they all work together to shout “Earth Science!” With that in mind, here’s some basics of New Zealand’s amazing geology, followed by some geological highlights of my trip of January and early February, 2018.
North and South Island Bedrock The different colors on this map show New Zealand’s basement rock, named so because it forms the lowest known bedrock foundation of any given area. The basement tells stories of New Zealand’s deep past, from about 500-100 million years ago. Individual colors signify different terranes, accreted (added) one-by-one through plate motions to the edge of what was then the supercontinent Gondwana. They mostly consist of sedimentary and metamorphosed sedimentary rock, although the narrow belt of purple-colored Dun Mountain Ophiolite formed as oceanic lithosphere, and the red-colored areas consist of granitic igneous rock, some of which has been metamorphosed to gneiss.
Gray indicates the younger cover rock, formed after accretion of the terranes. Consisting of a wide range of sedimentary and volcanic rocks, as well as recently deposited sediment, it’s just as interesting and variable as the terranes. Because it includes volcanoes, it’s largely the cover that gives the North Island its distinctive flair. By contrast, the South Island consists largely of uplifted basement rock, much of which has been –and still is—glaciated. All those long deep lakes, such as Lakes Wanaka and Tekapo, were carved by glaciers and are now floored with their deposits of till.
Those differences exist largely because the North and South Islands occupy different plate tectonic settings. The North Island sits over a subduction zone, so it hosts an active volcanic arc, expressed as the Taupo Volcanic Zone. The North Island also hosts older volcanic arcs –and even an active volcanic field that roughly coincides with the city of Auckland! By contrast, the South Island is transected by the Alpine fault, which connects the subduction zone in the north with the one in the south as a transform fault. Much like the San Andreas fault in California, it and some related faults are responsible for a great deal of uplift—and formation of mountain ranges such as the Southern Alps and Kaikoura ranges –as well as uplift and subsidence along different parts of New Zealand’s coastline. You can see how far the Alpine fault has slipped by matching up the belts of accreted terranes on either side, particularly the Dun Mountain Ophiolite –some 460 km!
My trip: January 5-February 7
A quick note… you should be able to click on any of these images to see them as larger versions in another window!
… The greatest thing about my trip was that I was able to see (and photograph!) most of these elements of New Zealand’s geology. Please take a look at the many other images of New Zealand geology that I posted on my website! I started in Auckland, where I met up with a group of faculty and students from Centre College, a liberal arts school based in Danville, Kentucky. They were studying North Island volcanoes and graciously let me tag along. We spent most of our time near Auckland and in the Taupo Volcanic Zone. From there I went to Wellington and then on to the South Island, where I rented a car and traveled for another two weeks, mostly with my friend Megan.
Here’s a geologic map of the Auckland area, published by the New Zealand GNS (Geological and Nuclear Sciences). The reds and pinks are basalts of the Auckland Volcanic field; the browns are Miocene sedimentary rocks that contain an abundance of volcanic particles, and the blue marks the Waipapa Composite Terrane, which forms the local basement.
The Auckland Volcanic Field consists of more than 50 volcanoes, many of which are small cinder cones that show evidence of explosions related to water-magma interactions. The first eruption occurred 250,000 years ago and the most recent, at Rangitoto, only 600 years ago. Rangitoto is the large red circular island in the northeast corner of the map. It’s a small shield volcano, capped by a cinder cone, which makes for a lovely boat ride and hike! Rangitoto is the only volcano in the field that shows evidence for repeated eruptions. Because of the recency of the volcanism –and the fact that it encompasses Auckland, the GNS is actively monitoring the field and making preparations in the event of an eruption.
Taupo Volcanic Zone
The Taupo Volcanic Zone (TVZ), which first started erupting about 2 million years ago, occupies a rift zone, marked by numerous, recently active normal faults. The rift is superimposed on the modern volcanic arc produced by subduction of the Pacific beneath the Australian plate. The TVZ is dominated by andesitic volcanism towards the northeast and southwest ends of the zone and rhyolitic volcanism in between, all of which is active or recently active. We visited localities throughout the zone.
White Island, in the photo above, is an active stratovolcano that rises right out of the Bay of Plenty. The volcano marks the northern end of the zone. Its breached crater hosts a gigantic rock avalanche deposit, crater lake, sites of active sulfur mineralization, crater walls of pyroclastic deposits, and steam, steam, steam!
Ruapehu, another active stratovolcano, marks the southern end of the zone. We spent the last 8 days of the course in and around that area, including hiking the well-known Tongariro Crossing and climbing to Ruapehu’s crater lake at its summit. I, of course, sprained my ankle just before the Tongariro hike and missed the summit hike because I was on a bus to Wellington. Those are altogether different stories! One place I especially like is Meads Wall, shown in the adjacent photo. It’s a large andesite dike that cuts through older andesite lava flows.
The rhyolitic volcanism that dominates the central part of the TVZ gives a more subtle expression to the landscape than the prominent andesitic stratovolcanoes –which is largely because the rhyolitic eruptions were so gigantic as to form calderas and blanket the entire area with ash flow tuff and air fall. The ash flow tuff shown below was deposited by the Taupo eruption only 1800 years ago. It erupted more than 100 km3 of material. An earlier eruption from the same volcano, called the Oruanui eruption, put out an estimated 1000km3 of material and formed the caldera that holds Lake Taupo. Altogether, eruptions in the TVZ have erupted more than 10,000 km3 of magma since they started about 1.6 million years ago. Cole and Spinks (2009) list seven calderas within the zone.
The thermal springs in and around the town of Rotorua provide a great expression of the current activity. One of my favorite spots was the Waiotapu thermal area, some 30 km southeast of Rotorua. Among other things, it hosts numerous explosion craters filled with hot springs. Below is a photo of the colorful “Champagne Pool”, which gets its name from the CO2 bubbles that rise to the surface. The colors result from a variety of things, including yellows and oranges from the sulfide minerals orpiment (arsenic) and stibnite (antimony), and white from sinter (silica) deposition.
In Wellington, my friends Rob and Sue took me to Red Rocks Scientific Preserve, some beautiful coastal exposures of the accreted Torlesse Composite Terrane. While most of the Torlesse around Wellington consists of Jurassic and Cretaceous submarine fan deposited sandstone, these rocks consist of chert, argillite, and basalt of probable Triassic age.
And Wellington sits right next to the Wellington fault—one of the several fault zones that link the Alpine fault to the subduction zone. The Wellington fault is the closest of many faults that pose major earthquake hazards for New Zealand’s capitol city. According to the GNS, it last ruptured some 300-500 years ago –and has an estimated recurrence interval of 500-1000 years. The Wairarapa fault, only 20 km southeast of Wellington, broke in 1855 to unleash an earthquake estimated to be M8.2-8.3. Even the 2016 Kaikoura Earthquake, which occurred on the South Island, caused more than $500 million in damage to Wellington.
Ferry from Wellington to Picton (South Island)
I had a beautiful day for this beautiful ride, three and a half hours from Wellington across Cook Strait to Picton, a small town tucked away inside the countless inlets and bays of the South Island’s north coast. The intricate coastal landscape results from gradual subsidence of the land and invasion of the sea up pre-existing river valleys, many of which follow fault zones. Two of these faults are sketched in on the map.
And here’s a map of the South Island!
Unlike the subsidence of the northern coast, the story around Kaikoura is one of coastal uplift. In fact, the 2016 Kaikoura Earthquake caused more than 5 meters of uplift in places. 5 meters! Near Kaikoura itself, that value was more like 1 meter, but still, you could see its effects. There’s an easy trail that crosses the Kaikoura Peninsula and returns via the beach. You can see the wave-cut bench, now largely above the intertidal zone, and stranded beach ridges. Then there’s the flat top of the peninsula. Formerly a wave-cut bench, it’s been uplifted by multiple earthquakes through thousands of years!
And the earthquake spawned countless landslides, many of which affected the coastal highway. My favorite slide was a few miles west of the highway up the Clarence Valley, shown below. I still haven’t determined if this is the same slide, but three cows got stranded on a slide block to become the subject of my now-favorite children’s book: “Moo and Moo and the Little Calf Too” by Millton and Hinde… it’s wonderful! Together, the landslides and ground ruptures during the earthquake closed the highway for over a year. It reopened in December, 2017—and they’re still working on it.
Christchurch is really easy to find on a map because it sits on the north side of the Banks Peninsula, an almost circular protrusion into the Pacific. The peninsula marks a complex of shield volcanoes, active some 11-8 million years ago but now deeply eroded. Christchurch itself is pretty flat. It sits on the alluvial plain of the Waimakariri River, which rises in the southern Alps and enters the sea just north of the city. I picked my friend Megan up at their lovely airport and we went for a long beach walk –very few other people—just miles of sand and clouds and water and dunes…
Southern Alps (Mt. Cook –Aoraki)
Rocks are cool, but glaciers… wow! The glaciers, their erosional features, and their deposits are absolutely spectacular in this area! And besides, the bedrock around Mt. Cook/Aoraki is mostly this poorly bedded greywacke of the Torlesse Composite Terrane –so my camera saw mostly ice and landscape carved from the rock.
Mt. Cook Village, which has a couple hotels and a youth hostel, sits on a small alluvial fan on the edge of the glacial outwash plain. The mountains positively soar overhead. Megan and I hiked up to the Mueller Hut, situated on the long high ridge just south of the village. Everywhere, we saw the effects of ice. We could even hear the erosion, as rock and snow avalanches broke loose frequently on the glaciers across the valley. No wonder the area hosts incredible U-shaped, glacially eroded valleys and no wonder that the upper reaches of the valleys form bowl-shaped cirques, many of which are still occupied by glaciers. No wonder that steep headwalls rise behind the cirques. No wonder the peaks and ridges are so jagged. At the same time, it fills you with wonder!
For me, the most instructive view was up the Hooker Valley towards Mt. Cook. There, you see the lake below the Hooker Glacier, dammed in by one of the glacier’s moraines –and in the foreground, you see another lake in another valley dammed in the same way. Turning your gaze downstream, you can see the magnificent outwash plain, merging with the outwash plain of the Tasman Glacier –and then emptying into long Lake Pukaki—which fills a glacial valley that’s dammed by a moraine!
As if Mt. Cook/Aoraki wasn’t enough, the experience of seeing the glacial fjord of Milford Sound kind of blew our minds. I was anxious beforehand because a storm was blowing in and I thought we’d get all wet and cold and be tossing about on the boat, but it turned out that the rain, sprouting thousands of waterfalls, made the place magical—and we were very comfortable on the boat. The rocks were pretty amazing too. Described by the GNS as orthogneisses, they originated as part of the Median Batholith during the Paleozoic but were metamorphosed and deformed during later mountain-building events, natural results of terrane accretion.
Fjords are narrow arms of the ocean that cut into the land. They have steep steep walls that rise 1000’s of feet on either side and drop steeply to great depths below water line. Fjords occupy former glacial valleys, deepened and steepened by the ice as it flowed down the valley towards the sea. When sea levels rose after the ice retreated, the sea invaded the former valleys. During rainy periods, the water, with little area to collect, runs off almost instantly as thousands of waterfalls. The next day, they’re mostly gone.
Bombing up the West Coast
We didn’t give enough time to the west coast –driving all the way from Wanaka to Hokitika in one day. It turns out that the storm we encountered at Milford Sound was much worse to the north, temporarily blocking the coast highway with fallen trees and landslides. And it washed out the access road to the Fox Glacier and the trail to Franz Josef Glacier, two glaciers that flow out of the Southern Alps to reach low, accessible elevations. I got to see the Fox Glacier 4 years ago –and this year, we did get a nice view of the braided river below the Franz Josef Glacier.
One of the things I remember about the Fox Glacier was the awesome bedrock! There, the greywacke of the Torlesse Terrane is metamorphosed to schist. This metamorphism seems to concentrate along the Alpine fault and die out away from it. The ridge we hiked to near Mt. Cook/Aoraki, for example, lies only 25 km to the south and consists of unmetamorphosed rock. These differences show how the Alpine fault is causing uplift of the range, the highest rates being right along the fault. We missed seeing the exposure of the fault at Gaunt Creek, just north of Franz Josef. Bummer.
Hokitika was great. Turns out that it’s the prime place for New Zealand jade. The jade is nephrite, which is a microcrystalline variety of amphibole of the actinolite-tremolite series: the closer its chemistry to the iron-rich actinolite, the greener its color; the closer it’s to the magnesium-rich tremolite, the whiter its color. The nephrite forms in the southern Alps as a replacement mineral in lenses of serpentinite, enclosed by schist of the Torlesse Terrane. Most people find it as boulders and cobbles on the local beaches or rivers that drain this part of the southern Alps. We went looking of course –and came back with a lot of pretty rocks—but I’m skeptical we found any jade.
We also visited the Pancake Rocks near Punakaiki—made of 30 million year old limestone, which is part of New Zealand’s post-accretion cover sequence. The rocks have eroded along vertical fracture surfaces and show this really cool enhanced bedding, likely the result of dissolution along original bedding planes during compaction of the sediment. And it’s a beautiful headland, with sea stacks, a sea cave, blowhole, and a fabulous rock-fall deposit. And there are a zillion tourists—one guy practically pushed Megan over the edge to take his picture! Sigh…
The highway across Arthur’s Pass back to Christchurch goes through some awesome scenery. In my mind, the best part was the eastward descent along the Waimakariri River—which at higher elevations makes beautiful braided channels in an outwash-choked floodplain. And the river terraces along the Broken River, each higher level marking an older floodplain were positively amazing. But we had a plane to catch.

NEW YORK — Officials at Louis Vuitton say last month’s move to computerize its company-owned outlets is already paying off in markedly improved inventory control.
The upscale French leather goods manufacturer installed personal computers at checkouts and in the backrooms of all 60 of its U.S. retail locations last month. Laurent Potevin, director of logistics at Vuitton, said the new AST Research PCs were necessary to support inventory-management and point-of-sale software that is proving extremely popular with store managers.
“Store managers love the system,” Potevin said. “Since real-time inventory at all our retail stores is up on the system, store managers can look into each other’s inventory and we can shift inventory from store to store at their request. Any item is one day away because we have access to daily information.”
Potevin said the software, Retail Pro from Carmichael, Calif.-based Retail Technologies International, also lets retailers view seasonal sales data on desktop and portable PCs. He said the function is helping store managers more accurately forecast store-specific sales and better plan their orders.
“In the past, store managers would have to request printed sales reports from us covering three-month periods,” he said. “Now, we’ve already input a year’s worth of back movement information into the system, and store managers can tap into it at any time.”
Potevin said store managers can access past sales data relative to their own stores or any other Vuitton store in the United States. He said Vuitton will add another year of past sales data. In the future, the company will keep three year’s worth of data on-line. Store managers can run reports that tell them how many items moved, right down to color and size.
Potevin said the system also saves labor. Before the system was installed, store managers wrote weekly sales reports by hand. These were then input at headquarters.
“They were hand-writing everything,” he said, “and there were a lot of inaccuracies. Everything had to be rekeyed, so there were manual errors like double entries.”
Potevin said both company headquarters and managers of individual stores have more faith in the data now that the new system is on-line. The result has been reduced out-of-stocks.
“The system can tell us where we have some excess and where we are short,” he said. “Our goal isn’t to have a tight inventory — it’s to make sure we aren’t running out of stock on our best sellers.”
Though the system was installed in all Vuitton’s U.S. locations, Potevin called it “a test.” If the system continues to receive high marks from store managers and Vuitton officials, he said the company would roll it out worldwide.
“We are using the U.S. as a test zone,” he said.
Potevin said Vuitton bought both the hardware and software off the shelf. Each store was equipped with a PC or laptop in the backroom and a PC with a 9-inch monitor and detached keyboard with integrated “mag-stripe” reader at the checkout. Checkouts were also equipped with a small printer to print receipts and a hand-held scanner. The cost was between $7,000 and $15,000 per store, depending on store size.
Potevin said Vuitton opted for the Retail Pro software because it could function with hardware from many different vendors.
“It was totally open,” he said. “We could have picked any hardware.”
In addition to helping store managers, the system is also making it easier for Vuitton headquarters to pool orders to factories.
“We can consolidate retail and wholesale inventory, and that helps us place orders to our factories,” Potevin said.
Vuitton has one factory in the United States. The bulk of Vuitton’s manufacturing is done in France. Of the 60 locations using the new system, 28 are freestanding stores. The remainder are retail locations Vuitton leases inside department stores I. Magnin, Neiman Marcus and others.
Though Potevin said only about half the Vuitton store managers were computer literate, he said all learned the new system quickly.
“It took only three four-hour sessions to train the store managers on the system,” he said. “It’s really easy to use, and it gives us accurate, real-time, flexible information.”

the Keys - fishing, snorkeling, low-tide exploring. Snorkeled
off of Biscayne NP. Too cool. I'm now thoroughly spoiled
and will surely whine incessantly during the coming years
and the 'real' winters.
Frank - you asked me to let you know when/if I found a

pad - it's a plastic honeycomb substance - lots of air flow,
good cushioning. Wool felt on bottom, tough cordura type
fabric on top. It's very pricey, but seems to be perfect.
Cooler, stays put well, and it's a nice green :) I also have
the No-Sweat vent pad - I haven't tried it yet, but it's
not exactly what I was looking for for Khruschev. Looks
like it will do the job re cooling though. Will let you know

Featured Gun: Smith & Wesson .38 Chiefs Special Revolver Model No. 36
The Smith & Wesson model 36, also known as the “Chief’s Special,” is one of the most distinctive revolvers to emerge from the 20th century. These easily concealable revolvers have distinct characteristics and are synonymous with both law enforcement and the hoods they pursued. These revolvers were designed with a snub-nose barrel, which makes it easy to conceal, and is chambered for .38 Special ammunition.
The Chief’s Special, designed primarily for plainclothesmen and off-duty police officers, made its public debut at The International Association of Chiefs of Police conference in 1950. At the conference, the Smith & Wesson sales force asked the police chiefs to vote on a name for the new revolver. The most commonly suggested name was .38 Chief’s Special. Designed with the needs of law enforcement officials in mind, the Chief’s Special proved to be a popular revolver for personal protection due to its size and weight. When Smith & Wesson adopted model numbers in 1957, the Chiefs Special became the model 36.
The model 36 was designed as a lightweight, compact revolver for police officers and civilians who wanted a reliable, easy to carry firearm for personal protection. It quickly became popular with law enforcement agencies and civilians alike, and remains one of the most popular revolvers of all time.
The model 36’s significance lies in its role as a pioneering revolver in the concealed carry market. Its small size, lightweight design, and ease of use made it an ideal choice for people who wanted a firearm for personal protection but didn’t want to carry a bulky or heavy weapon. It has been featured in almost every form of media from movies, TV shows, video games and much more, cementing its place in pop culture as a go to gun for many.
The Smith & Wesson model 36 Chief’s Special is still popular among gun enthusiasts, law enforcement personnel, and civilians who want a reliable and an easily concealable firearm for personal protection. The model 36 has a reputation for being a reliable firearm that can withstand heavy use and abuse. It has been tested and trusted by law enforcement agencies for decades, and many civilian gun owners have had positive experiences with the revolver as well. The model 36 has a classic revolver design and a timeless look that has remained popular for more than half a century.
This 5-shot model 36 is in excellent condition and features a nickel-plated finish with a grip adapter. The original box, factory paperwork, a leather holster, and a speed loader are also included. Lockup is tight and timing is on. The model 36 was designed in the era just after World War II, when Smith & Wesson stopped producing war materials and resumed normal production.

USA national team boss Juergen Klinsmann was in a positive mood after watching his side defeat Slovenia 3-2 in Ljubljana in an international friendly on Tuesday night.
In captain Carlos Bocanegra's 100th match the US were up 3-1 at half-time thanks to goals from Edson Buddle, Clint Dempsey and Jozy Altidore (penalty) and despite conceding when Tim Matavz scored his second just after the hour-mark, Klinsmann was buoyed by another improved showing.
"As a group we are growing. There was a special atmosphere today because it was our captain's 100th game," the German said.
"It's a very, very special moment, and the team wanted to do well for him. He had an excellent game and is a real leader in the back four. Obviously we are pleased with the result, but also the performance."
But Klinsmann said it was important his players were able to remain focus in defence for an entire 90 minutes.
"The concerns that you have when you are in a phase like we are now is how to build the concentration level throughout the whole 90 minutes," he added.
"We are doing well in certain periods, really shifting well and being compact and not allowing many opportunities, even against France (1-0 loss in Paris on Friday).
"When the tempo is that high and a team like Slovenia has very, very good individual players that can always create something out of nothing, you always have to be very alert. This is something that we have to improve."

There is a conflict in the system of the judiciary, legislature
and executive that we are following in the country, which is one of the largest democracies in the world. Why are we taking so many decades to deliver a judgment on a subject that criminalizes one community? This is a constitutional crisis, as there is a law that is directly saying that one section is criminal under it.
The historical Delhi High Court
ruling of 2009 had actually given us a boost and the confidence to speak about what exactly we are standing for. But then, there was a sense of disappointment with the 2013 Supreme Court
judgement, which overturned the HC ruling.
What everyone fails to see is that it is not about same sex. The media has also been constantly highlighting ‘gay sex’, which is not the case. Section 377 definitively talks about human sexuality, but it is also about dignity. The law violates my right to privacy and dignity.
In fact, when MP Shashi Tharoor
introduced the Anti-Discrimination and Equality Bill in 2016 in the Lok Sabha
, there was a discussion about homosexuality as well, and the way the members of the house behaved was appalling. Without understanding the legitimacy of the politics of sexuality, they made blind statements that literally undermined one identity, one sexuality and one marginalized community, which is us.
Legislators have power and responsibility and they have to behave in that manner. Section 377 is direct violation against us. The Legislature and Executive have been playing an ‘impotent’ role in this matter, which is why we have knocked on the door of the judiciary. Over the years, there have been steps in the right direction and we are thankful to the court for that. In fact, if you look at the rulings of the present Chief Justice, be it in the case of the right to privacy, Aadhar or triple talaq, among others, they have been progressive, so we are hopeful that at least some bits of the section will be deleted, if not completely repealed.

Mmmmmm. Where do I start?!? I love ice cream. I prefer hard to soft. Anything with nuts, fudge swirls, chocolate in any form. I have so many favorites. It depends where I am. If I go to Baskin Robbins, I LOVE Fudge Nut Brownie (when available). If I feel the need to hit the DQ drive-thru, then it has to be the Peanut Buster Parfait. All that oozing hot fudge over melting soft vanilla ice cream. The whipped cream..... Sometimes a Wendy's Frosty will do but SOMEtimes it's gotta be Ben & Jerry's Super Fudge Chunk. Right now I'm into mint chocolate chip and one called "Chocolate Rocher", which is basically a deep chocolate ice cream with pieces of chocolate in it. Not your usual chocolate chips. More like the chocolate used to dip cones in at DQ. Sooooooo good!

I love ice cream very much. It is one of my most favorite foods. I even eat it when the weather is cold. To add, our refrigerator at home always have at least one gallon of ice cream. We never ran out of ice cream. That is why it is such a staple food for my family, just like rice. My favorite flavors are vanilla and cookies and cream. Those are always the flavors that I eat since I was a child.

Antennae is the leading journal on nature in contemporary art featuring the most cutting edge and influential art and writing about animals, nature and art. The latest issue, 50: Remaking Nature ‘focuses on the work of contemporary artists whose practice reveals the constructedness of nature as a concept through which to map and untangle important, and yet overlooked, junctions in our coevolutional histories with the rest of the natural world’.
I am pleased to have some of my work featured in this issue, alongside a short essay about my series ‘Lessons In Things’. You can download the issue for free, along with previous issues at http://www.antennae.org.uk/. There are many interesting and thought provoking articles and artists to discover and read, including one about the Museum of Hunting and Nature in Paris, which is one of my favourtie museums.
As I write this, most of the world is on lockdown, thanks to coronavirus. As well as providing a wealth of material to read at this time, I believe the topics are more relevant than ever, discussing our relationship with animals and the natural world and the consequences of our treatment of them.

Seattle Times Apologizes For Mislabeling Mississippi As Alabama [PHOTO]
The Seattle Times got a quick lesson in geography after posting a "map" of Hurricane Harvey's projected path.
The projected path was posted last week as the storm approached the Texas Gulf Coast, but Twitter users quickly pointed out that something seemed a bit off.
This isn't the first time Mississippi has been overlooked. You may remember back in 2012 when the Weather Channel caused quite the fracas when they referred to Mississippi as a "land mass between New Orleans and Mobile."
A Facebook page that was created in that wake of that coverage during Hurricane Isaac has over 51,000 followers who definitely didn't hesitate to let them know about the Seattle Times mishap.
The Seattle Times did acknowledge their mishap, apologizing to their friends in Mississippi and Alabama.
And who said you couldn't get your education on social media?

Hyderabad, June 15 : Telugu Desam Party national general secretary and Andhra Pradesh opposition leader Nara Lokesh called the High Court’s judgment to rescind the state government’s orders on Maharaja Alak Narayana Society of Arts and Science (MANSAS) and the reinstatement of Ashok Gajapathi Raju as its chairman, as the Ultimate Victory of law and justice.
“With the High Court cancelling the government’s GOs on Mansas Trust, it has been proved that law and justice are the Ultimate winners,” said Lokesh.
He claimed that this ruling is a slap in the face of the government which is allegedly issuing undemocratic and unconstitutional dark orders at midnight.
The TDP leader exhorted that the judgment brought more glory to the Pusapati family which donated land and assets worth thousands of crores of rupees.
“This is the Victory of public love, law, justice and the Constitution with the blessings of Simahachalam Appanna,” said Lokesh and congratulated Raju.
Likewise, TDP supremo and former chief minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu welcomed the judgment and termed it as a slap in the face of ‘Tughlaq CM’, hinting at Chief Minister Y.S.Jaganmohan Reddy.
“Finally, the long arm of the law and the inexorable wheels of justice have put a full stop to Reddy’s nefarious plans to plunder thousands of acres of prime lands and multi-crore properties belonging to the temples that are run by the Mansas Trust,” claimed Naidu.
According to the TDP chief, the Court’s order would give a new lease of life to thousands of students and employees.
However, AP Endowments Minister Vellampalli Srinivas said the government will appeal in the Supreme Court against the judgment.

I had a surprise day off yesterday, as did Steven, so we celebrated by going to my favorite areas of Los Angeles.
Our first stop was Abbot Kinney in Venice Beach. It's a boho chic street full of boutiques and coffee shops. Unfortunately, we couldn't afford much beside some tea, so we sat and sipped and people watched until we were ready to move on.
While driving to the Santa Monica Promenade we spontaneously decided to stop at Main Street for some more affordable shopping. I found this perfect coral peter pan blouse originally from American Apparel at The Closet.
It's similar to Buffalo Exchange/Crossroads but with a smaller and much more amazing collection. I spotted some vintage D&G dresses, a vintage Norma Kamali skirt, and 2 amazing Burberry coats at an extremely affordable prices. Definitely going back.
We finally made it to Santa Monica just in time for dinner.
We walked around after stuffing ourselves and did some more shopping.
Steven and I bought hats at Nordstrom, his a gray beanie and mine a navy blue cloche.
Then I found these amazing mauve jeans that I have been searching for.
Guess how much I paid for them.
Hint: they're from Urban Outfitters.
YES, six dollars and ninety-nine cents. Awesome.
We ended the night strolling along the beach and pier hand in hand. It was absolutely lovely.

Ever since the sudden closure this month of Bruery Provisions in Orange, loyal customers of the craft beer bottle shop have been hopeful that a savvy owner would take over.
Last week, those fans got some good news when Haven Gastropub announced plans to take ownership of the Old Towne Orange cheese and beer shop. The deal makes sense. Provisions and Haven cater to a similar demographic: craft beer fans with a love for gourmet comfort foods.
“Provisions is about community and togetherness – it's about sharing a great appreciation for beer; and we want to help carry on the vision that was started a few years ago,” said Wil Dee, beverage director for Haven Gastropub.
Haven will call the shop Provisions. The tasting room is slated to reopen next month with the same food and beer selections. Greg Daniels, Haven's executive chef, will oversee the menu of artisan cheeses, sandwiches and charcuterie. The shop plans to expand its takeout offerings with fresh breads and more prepared foods.
“There will be a few more surprises to look forward to – we hope to make the most of this great space,” Daniels said.

A central part of Donald Trump’s campaign message was that he was going to build a wall on the southern border. Not only do illegals pour across the border, turning our border patrol agents into babysitters and short order cooks, America should also be concerned about terrorism threats since ISIS, the brutal Muslim terrorist organization that Obama referred to as the JV team as they acquired more power, has let it be known that they would take advantage of the porous border to infiltrate America and attack us on our own land.
True to their identity politics manipulative agenda, Democrats have made protecting America’s border an issue of divisiveness accusing anyone who supports it of racism, xenophobia and hating anyone who “doesn’t look like them.” Of course, they have vowed to actively work to obstruct all of President-elect Trump’s agenda with some, like California Marxist Maxine Waters, saying she refuses to even meet with Trump to determine if they have any common ground. Given the obstructionist stance of the Democrats before Trump has even been inaugurated, they would no doubt attempt to stop a wall from the southern border from being built. But, according to sources, with Trump’s new plan to build the wall, there might be nothing Democrats can do to stop it.
So what exactly is Trump’s plan that would be impossible for Democrats to stop? He would rely on existing legislation that already authorizes the use of fencing and other technology at the southern border.
Congressional Republicans and Donald Trump’s transition team are exploring whether they can make good on Trump’s promise of a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border without passing new legislation, officials said Thursday.
Under the evolving plan, the Trump administration would rely on existing legislation authorizing fencing and other technology along the southern border. Congress would be asked to ensure that enough money is appropriated to take additional new steps — but would not pass a stand-alone bill authorizing a big new wall.
The potential approach was confirmed by two congressional officials and a senior transition official with knowledge of the discussions; all spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly. Details were scarce and the officials emphasized that no final decisions had been made.
With no new legislation required and Congress only having to make sure the money is appropriated, funding should be an easy enough feat in the Republican-controlled Congress if the GOP stands unified.
If Democrats whine and complain, which they will undoubtedly do since their allegiance seems to be to all groups but Americans, Donald Trump and the GOP should come back with three words that we heard from Barack Obama and the Democrats numerous times for the past eight years. Elections have consequences.
Democrats will no doubt accuse Trump of going around Congress, although they cheered Obama doing so for the past eight years. If they do so, such accusations would be based on a lie since the steps which may be taken are already authorized under current law.
Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) addressed what is allowed under the current law. He said, “There’s a lot of things that can be done within current law. You cannot minimize the potential impact of the administration doing what they can do under the law.”
Will Trump follow through with this supposed plan? If he truly believes what he said during his campaign, that a country without a border is not a country, then he will.


Giants And Jets Made Right Decision To End Negotiations With Allianz
New York, NY, September 12, 2008 … Abraham H. Foxman, National Director of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), issued the following statement in response to the announcement that the Giants and Jets have ended negotiations with the insurance company Allianz for the naming rights to their new stadium in the Meadowlands:
The New York Giants and the New York Jets heard the concerns of their fans and others and made the right decision to end negotiations with Allianz for the naming rights of their new stadium.
The decision shows sensitivity to the fact that the greater New York area is home to a large number of Holocaust survivors and their families and World War II veterans, who live with the painful memories of that time.
The Anti-Defamation League, founded in 1913, is the world's leading organization fighting anti-Semitism through programs and services that counteract hatred, prejudice and bigotry.


Pharma giant Merck (MRK -0.14%) released a disappointing first-quarter 2021 earnings report on Thursday, and as a result, the company's stock took a bit of a dive today. The drugmaker's shares were down by 4.96% at the close of the day's trading session, after falling by as much as 5.5% earlier in the day.
Merck's results were unimpressive in more ways than one. The company's sales came in at $12.1 billion, which more or less remained flat compared to the first quarter of the previous fiscal year. Meanwhile, Merck's adjusted earnings per share (EPS) was $1.40, representing a 7% decline compared to the year-ago period. Analysts tracking the company had predicted that on average, it would report revenue of $12.66 billion and adjusted EPS of $1.63.
In other words, the pharma giant's results came in far short of analyst estimates -- on both the top and bottom lines. That's a recipe for disaster for any company. It is no wonder that investors sent Merck's stock tumbling today. Why did the healthcare company fail to deliver during the first quarter? Among other things, Merck blamed the continued fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the drugmaker, the negative impact of the outbreak on its top line during the first quarter amounted to roughly $600 million.
Merck's guidance for the full fiscal year 2021 was a bit more encouraging. On the top line, the company expects revenue between $51.8 billion and $53.8 billion. At the midpoint, this guidance would top the average analyst estimate of $52.5 billion. Merck also thinks it will record adjusted EPS between $6.48 to $6.68 during the current fiscal year, which at the midpoint is just slightly below the $6.57 adjusted EPS analysts are predicting.

Tenacity is the stuff of success. I must say, I have realized small successes. I will not give up until I realize a breakthrough.
At this point in my life, I am aware that all things come in God's time. As I pray each day for clarity, direction and help, I have to believe it is forthcoming.
I also have to believe, if I keep moving forward, my miracle will appear.
I know, through my life, I've stepped on toes, made mistakes, hurt others and myself. I've also helped countless others, helped myself, gotten up when I fall and helped many others up as well.
All of us have ups and downs in life. Tragedy, glory, success and failure. UNLESS, we stay on the sidelines and never take a risk. I know people like that. People who have stayed in their safe cocoons and never taken risks. That's okay if that's all you want out of life. As for me, I have big hopes and dreams.
I don't know where today will take me, but I am up and ready for an adventure. It is fortunate for me, I am not afraid of much. It is also fortunate for me that sometimes I'm too thick to stop in the face of fear. This is good at times, bad at times, necessary all the time.
I believe, if we never take a risk, we never realize our full potential. Fantasizing the freedom to take risks and let God worry about the results.

The Domain Name System (DNS) resembles the compendium of phone contacts within the realm of the digital cosmos. It’s how your computer knows where to find websites. But what happens when it stops responding? The pages you’re trying to visit become unreachable, much like calling the wrong number. In Windows 10, this problem is common but fixable. Here’s how.
Common Causes of DNS Server Problems
DNS summarizes website names into IP addresses. It’s like translating a name into a phone number. If this system fails, it’s akin to losing the ability to call your friends by name and having to remember their numbers instead. The ensuing list encapsulates potential origins that might lead to the emergence of the error notification:
1: Incorrect DNS Settings
- Improper configuration of DNS settings has the potential to give rise to predicaments concerning DNS server functionality. For example, incorrect IP addresses for the DNS server or misconfiguration in the DNS server properties can disrupt the connection.
2: ISP DNS Problems
- Sometimes the Internet Service Provider’s (ISP) DNS servers themselves may have problems, leading to failure in resolving domain names. In such cases, switching to a different DNS provider, such as Google’s DNS, can resolve the issue.
3: Outdated Network Drivers
- Network drivers facilitate the intercommunication between the operating system and the network hardware, ensuring harmonious connectivity. If these drivers are outdated or incompatible, it can lead to DNS server issues.
4: Firewall or Security Software Interference
- Certain firewall settings or security software might inadvertently block the communication with the DNS server. Adjusting or temporarily disabling these settings might be necessary to resolve the issue.
5: DNS Server Overload
- In situations where a multitude of users concurrently attempt to access a DNS server, the server could potentially become overwhelmed and lose its responsiveness. This is more familiar with public DNS servers.
6: DNS Cache Corruption
- The DNS cache stores recent DNS lookups to run up subsequent requests to the same domain. If this cache evolves corrupted, it can cause DNS resolution errors.
7: Physical Connection Problems
- Issues with physical connections such as damaged Ethernet cables, faulty routers, or problems with the network interface card can interfere with DNS server communication.
8: Malware or Virus Infection
- Certain malware or viruses might modify the DNS settings or redirect the DNS requests to malicious servers, causing DNS server issues.
9: Operating System Bugs or Conflicts
- Sometimes, the issue might stem from bugs or conflicts within the operating system itself. Regular updates and patches are essential to minimize these problems.
Understanding these common causes can significantly aid in diagnosing and resolving DNS server issues. It allows for targeted troubleshooting, making it easier to pinpoint the problem and apply the appropriate fix. Awareness of these causes also promotes proactive measures to prevent DNS server issues from arising in the first place.

Bolt joked that he was starting a rumor that Gatlin paid the cameraman to do it. Taking part in the joke, Gatlin responded by saying that he wanted his money back. Bolt did not seem to be seriously injured and said he was hit in the calf area of his leg and not in his Achilles tendon. He planned to get the area massaged and “ice it up a bit,” which he thinks will take care of it.

When Matthew McConaughey worried about HIV
Posted on Feb 06 2014 | IANS
Los Angeles, Feb 6 : Actor Matthew McConaughey was so worried about the possibility of contracting HIV when he was a teenager that he spoke to three doctors about preventive measures.
The 44-year-old, who plays AIDS sufferer Ron Woodroof in "Dallas Buyers Club", admits he was so concerned about the rise in the sexually-transmitted infection while he was growing up in the 1980s that he sought advice from health professionals, reports contactmusic.com.
''I remember in 1988 I was a senior in college and as a heterosexual young man becoming sexually active I remembered getting worried and what I clearly remember is talking to three different doctors and saying, 'Give me some science on this. 'I'm a heterosexual man and I'm having . . . I'm not being too loose but give me some percentages, give me something . . . ' and they had three completely different answers about what the risks were so I came away from that being more scared.
''I remember thinking, well, I'm gonna go with the guy who said be the most cautious. But nobody knew at the time, the doctors didn't know," he said.
